Piedmont ' s flow increases as we grow. Sending 5/month the next 3 months. Right no they aren't having problems hiring (of course this will change one day, it always does) but getting in before we have 500 pilots will get you to AA FAST. 5.5-6 years. Looking at a total of 8-900 pilots minimum

Yes. It's contractual. At 900 pilots we'll be at 10/month. As we grow our flow increases... no limit to how high that number can grow to. As long as we can find the bodies.. Anyone hired in the next few months will get to AA the fastest

How long will it take to flow from PDT to AA for a currently hired pilot?
Also, I have never worked at regional, before. When you say 'hired' is that from the time that the company offers a class date, or is that the actual beginning of training? I should think the latter.

do you see there being a drastic time frame change happening for those not being hired in the next 3-4 months. Im currently about 4 months from being qualified, but if the ends justify the means I could beg borrow and steal some additional hours if its gonna make a big difference as far as flow time.

I am in the same boat as you, waker: five to six months out from reaching ATP mins. It may be wise not to be so rash at buying flight time solely because of some folks' opinions, no matter how well meaning, claim that something may or may not be seemingly assured. The regional game is far too fickle to forecast anything to any degree of certainty within the timespan of a few months. Just saying, unless you can fly with someone for free....
