I'd say industry leading is a little unrealistic. If Piedmont doesn't refleet, they're done (in the not so distant future) No other regional that has been approached by AAG is in the same position that Piedmont is. If AAG has to pay industry leading wages, they are not going to do it at Piedmont. It wouldn't make sense to when they can pay a jet operator (Envoy) to operate the new equipment.
If anyone wants Piedmont to demand "industry leading wages," they better be ready to absorb every Piedmont pilot at DOH (and furlough their own if need be) when the time comes.
All that being said, I believe
if management is serious about the possibility of refleeting, Piedmont pilots won't give away their dignity, and sell their souls just to survive.
