Are you worried at all that the 145's will get parked as soon as there is an economic downturn?
Do you think that the 50 seat airplanes will be the first to go?
What is the life expectancy of the 145's?
Aren't they a few years from being sent to the desert anyways?
The scope is about full with 900's and 175's, will there be enough airplanes to keep Piedmont flying?
What is your management saying about this?
I know that you say you will get 175's, but why? They will need to take them away from Envoy to do this.
(I am honestly curious about this. Especially after seeing what is happening to Air Wisconsin, flying small and outdated airplanes seems like it would cause quite a bit of concern)

Thanks for the informative post, Old man. Quality per usual

Looking at moving over to PDT from XJT. I live near DTW and would like to get the PHL base out of training. What are the odds of that?
Also, how long is reserve time realistically? The recruiters told me there are people leaving training and going straight to a line. Is there truth in that, or is that just recruiter rhetoric?

If you get the jet PHL is the only base we have. Dash wise both MDT and PHL are easy commutes as I have done it. PHL for the dash is gonna start going junior as more of us move to the jet. In terms of lines it depends on your domicile. ROA guys have lines and most MDT guys can get a line short after training. PM me if ya have questions I can help anyway I can.
