The 175 rumor is strong right now.. also the base announcement rumor is strong..

Also another captain retention bonus for the next year is rumored.. the wholly owns are starting to bleed captains not waiting to flow. that's all I know as that's all fodder from the terminal f food court..

Either way I see no bad news.. I heard apparently the 3 wholly owns are outperforming the other contract carriers. Apparently the Phoenix and LA regional lift is in bad shape.

We have a new VP with Kenji out. I wasn't a fan of him since I think he was out of his element and his new role in finance better suits him. We will see what the new guy brings to the table.

Hi Guys,

Good day to everyone. I recently applied to PDT & got an e mail to schedule a phone interview. I request anyone to kindly shed some light on what to expect. Most impt 2 things are I know why I want to be at PDT & history of PDT. Anything technical I could expect? Also is aviation interviews a good site for the gouges or are there other sites that have more in-depth info on PDT interviews? Thank you in advance guys. I have to say this is the only regional group that really enjoys working for their company & that's a great motivation for me to be there.

Phone interview is low threat- no technical. Just them getting a feel for you and seeing if they want to proceed with f2f.

Sheppard air interview prep package and aviation interviews are good for interview prep.

Where will these come from? AAG already has options on the books for something like 90 new 175s.

Was considering doing the same thing since we have the slot on the flight deck for the bag. How do you plan on insulating it? I want to create a slot for the iPad and QRH.

Oh, I was only kidding. But if you come up with a good plan to make it happen post it here!

It's either that or buy a cooler bag with an efb slot or something.

Heard we inked a deal on a third 145 sim, so probably no 175 announcement. More 145s? More CLT flying? Heard both of those, too.

EMB 175 is not even a thought. We just spent millions on a 145 sim, just spent millions on the second that's due to be installed in 10 months, and have a third 145 simulator in mind for purchasing. Our 145 program has at least a ten year future.
