Your sarcasm detector seems to be INOP.

A friend interviewed at PDT recently.They told him the original plan for PDT was 175 s but the faa wouldn't sign off on it .They wanted to see them successfully operate a smaller jet first rather than jumping from the dash to a 76 Seat jet.
They will eventually get 175s as the 145s time out I'm sure

There is no way. PDT will be merged or simply cease to exist long before they ever get 175's.

Piedmont is in an excellent place geographically for AA. When the 145s time out, it wouldn't surprise me at all to see them replaced with 175s.

2011 has a lotttt of hires. it would be hard to get through them all in 6months. after they are all upgraded though yes upgrade will plummet

2016 NH= 300 +
2017 NH = 600 + at same hire rate now
2017 AA FLOW 360 to 400


You are correct that is good news. Esp if we get more 175's and open more bases. Also not including any attrition to other legacy or LLC's

LOL...Keep dreaming..Dallas CEO magazine 12/1/16 said Fábregas, when asked what’s ahead for Envoy. “These 76-seat planes are the future of our regional network.”

Yeah, the 175 is the future for Envoy. Clearly, the only logical conclusion to draw is that no other WO regional will get 76 seat jets
