This is something that any applicant considering Piedmont should take note of. That's a very concerning statistic for someone about to be at the bottom of the seniority list.


Not only can you get better pay, better QoL, and fly better equipment at other regionals, other regionals are growing and plan to continue. That's free seniority. With how far Piedmont has fallen behind the pack now, there might not be a lot of people behind you to push you up in relative seniority. And Piedmont reaffirmed today that they don't have an intention of growing. They're going to start hiring just to replace attrition.


Remember kids, when more people leave from the bottom of the list than leave from the top of it, seniority goes backwards.


And further, if we can't grow and hit the next threshold, our flow rate won't increase.

Really is a shame. You bring up a lot of good key points which no doubt made the decision to go to EDV easy. Regionals are regionals but there's definitely so much more untapped potential that PDT and a few other companies fail to effectuate. I'd love to join the company and work towards making things right but clearly the best thing I could do for PDT's pilot group is to not show up at all. I guess the management needs to get their heads out of the 2000s. Thank God for competition

What’s this newsletter that we will over have a few hundred pilots in PHL?

350 PHL
150 CLT


Guess is either a DCA base is coming with the 200-250 pilots left over or the Union is giving the company PBS and that 250 will be taken care of through pilot attrition and reduced hiring.

500 pilots is unrealistic even by PBS standards, that’s under 10 per airplane.

That’s good news, DCA base might finally become a thing...

DCA base makes sense with the Waterski contract ending with AAG

The 15 TSA aircraft have already been announced they’re coming to envoy. No new base announcement, probably just fly through.

There’s a lot more ramp space about to open up at LGA with some new gates in Oct.

Just cause y’all are technically getting the TSA airplanes doesn’t mean they won’t transfer 15 other ERJ’s to us for DCA.

Isom stated in a townhall meeting on 5/8 that Envoy will be a 200 plane fleet, PSA 150, and PDT “about 60”. You guys are just about there aren’t you? Besides, does it really make sense to do bridge/conformity checks on the TSA birds and at the same time send 15 planes to you which need to go through your conformity as well? I though AAG was watching spending?
