Not sure why someone wouldn't show.. you get bonus money, travel benefits, and a little time off with a pay check.. why wouldn't you show? As far as I know they have had the max they can bring in of 26 every month ad everyone is showing. We should achieve our next critical milestone of 725 pilots on property by end of year.. very exciting stuff.

Some folks may not want to or be in a position to be able to wait 4-6 months to wait to start after their interview date (it's still May and we're talking about October start dates), and everyone else is hiring as well... with many companies offering dates to start within 2-3 weeks of interview, hence the question if Piedmont is loosing folks from indoc classes who have gotten jobs elsewhere in the months between interviews and start dates.
)However, for the delay AFTER start date and before training starts - full pay, full travel benefits, 0 on 30 off line - I don't understand why someone would complain about that
Maybe for a senior citizen where every day not flying was a huge percentage of total time available before 65

For many of us (military guys) it works out really well. We put up our separation date and leave the day before training starts.

Right now piedmont is receiving many apps and is actually able to be a little bit selective. If you want to be here, it's how it is... If your building time apply early. That being said, PDT is an amazing place to be right now.... If the wait isn't worth it go to place that will give you a class in 2 weeks, only you can make that decision. That being said our training department will soon be able to handle much more.
Wow, sounds amazing....
