I know this comment is very vague and Parker doesn't seem like he likes 50 seaters so what gives.

If there's any rumor about a WO it would be about Piedmont. 30 Something old prop planes with old EMB-145's being a replacement starting in January. So with PSA being stable and Envoy getting 175's there's still questions of how Piedmont will fit in the scheme of things.

But as a Piedmont Pilot many don't care because they're mostly all flowing to AAG. But it should be interesting seeing us get the 145's and our DCA base or PHL. Maybe the rumor is we will be sharing crewrooms.

Beats the hot box in CLT. We have ripped up crappy office chairs rather than yalls fancy leather couches. I wonder how the new crewroom will be. Probably an empty room with padded walls.

So at a flow rate of 3 a month and 400 pilots on property "most" don't care about the future of pdt because they'll only be there on average ~5 and at most ~11 more years?

Just trying to understand the point

Take this is solid gold intel. F/As are known to be the most reliable sources if info in the industry.

If an F/A said it, it has to be true.

Once again I don't understand. Does your CBA include a provision that when your ERJs arrive your rate of flow to AAL is increased?

Yes it does. But I'm hoping that we don't get ERJ's and they just let us fly the Dash 8's until they time out. Win for both sides. AAG will get to fly the planes until in of 2018 when most time out and then everyone on the property today will flow to American in 3 years or less.

However if we do get the ERJ's after the first 20 planes the flow doubles. Which I think will take longer for everyone on the property then to flow.
