Pilots leaving to other airlines will shrink the seniority list too, so the trigger for the flow increase is harder to meet. I'm sure y'all have noticed by now, newhires are hard to find.
I'm not saying there's nothing good about PDT. I'm pointing out the error in your flow calculations. Basing your flow projections off doubling or tripling in size or attrition that may actually hurt the flow is disingenuous.

What's so special about the 145 that you think it will be a game changer? The only thing about it that I can see as being more appealing is a PHL base as opposed to those other random cities you guys have as bases.

As a PDT pilot, i have to agree with this. People are turning down classes at Envoy if they dont the E175 and Mesa is somehow still filling classes. Never underestimate SJS, and the 145 just isnt shiny enough.

The 145 is about as dull as they come. Of course I never understood why anybody would ever choose a regional based on the type of equipment they fly, but that's just me.

I'm not saying it's special, and some of these birds you've bestowed upon us are beat to **** like your 700s. The simple fact is that there are a whole faction of folks who won't fly anything but a jet aircraft. Some are corporate, some current or former 121, and some are Riddle Raiders or from Northern Dakoter and feel props are below them . They want nothing to do with a turboprop, almost scared of it. Can't really blame them, as their education gears them toward regional jet aircraft. These factors alone could net us 10 more a month, which is absolutely huge for us. Add in another hub base (and it's coming) and its an all-around win. Don't believe me just watch...
