The reason we have triple premium is because there is so much uncovered flying so you will have plenty of opportunity especially on the jet.

Just a note, our premium pay works differently than most other regionals. Premium pay is 4 hours per day plus what you work so triple premium is 12 hours per day plus what you work. So for example a 4 day credited at 22 hours would pay 70 hours if picked up on days off. For me at least, at my pay rate that's over $5000. There are a lot of captains that will make well over $100k this year, myself included. Many F/Os will clear over $60k without bonuses. It's a good time to be at Piedmont.

No books on day one. Just a lot of paper work.
I've heard PDT does things a Lil different during indoc.I would assume it has to be the basic stuff,paperwork, fingerprints, etc.etc. How could it be any different??

About half the class is split between prior 121 or 135 jet. Three of us currently typed in the 145 from Xjt and TSA.
