There will be another hub base. Notice how the letter said only 100/200 departures will be from PHL. the other half of our flying will service another hub.

Wouldn't the other half be from the outstations? I took it as PHL would be the only flying.

That's pretty much how I took it as well, though the verbiage is a bit ambiguous on that.

PSA has CLT and maybe also DCA for hubs, ENY has DFW, ORD, and soon LGA I think it is.

Just PHL for little ol' Piedmont! I'd even settle for some CLT action!

Not arguing, just surprised b/c I though all the WOs were aligned with pay. Surprised that Piedmont was higher, even by a little bit. Back to the drawing board for me.

It looks like the end of new hire pilots going to the dash is quickly approaching.

I've really enjoyed the dash. I'm excited to sew what the dash retension bonus will be. Decisions!
