There is already at least 1 FO and Captain that resigned this month. The total seniority list has shrunk by 50+ pilots since September.
Be careful chasing a golden ring.
PDT is a small airline with major issues in training now; not unexpected given their attempt to grow and get into the jet business with the 145:
Top talent is leaving/has left for Mainline via flow.
Others are moving to the jet.
Remainder of an overloaded training dept is trying to absorb new hire FOs, upgrades to left seat, and CQ student load. New hires are waiting months, not weeks, to even start sims. The Dash is a labor intensive airplane to learn; just the way it is, but end result is the recruiting numbers and tng dept production numbers do not match. Late Jan I talked to an 8/17 new hire who was still on SOE.
I understand AWAC as a non-wholly owned may have an uncertain future, but you may be better served by going to Envoy or PSA, both wholly-owned, both with a flow to AA, and both fly jets. PSA with their RJs (including inbound 900s), would be a simple conversion for you. Best of luck in your decision!
