The 145 is a dying aircraft and is circling the drain, everyone knows it. United and Delta are already cutting out 50 seat flying (besides the CRJ550 stuff). Piedmont will have to either get 175s at some point or that 145 flying will need to go to someone else (looking at you Skywest and Republic).
Heck, if AA would start hiring wholly own regional pilots instead of ignoring us and letting United and Delta take us maybe we would be happier with our current **** quality of life.

Piedmont flows 6 per month per the contract. Only 1 to 2 per month hired to American outside the flow recently. The December numbers are not officially out. An additional 6 CAs and 5 FOs go elsewhere per month on average to other carriers. About 700 or so pilots on our Seniority list.

Stated in numbers, instead of losing a total of 19 per month, they will lose a total of 30 per month.

As an aside, all that totals to be about 1/3 of the pilots attrition per year. If Piedmont loses like the entire regional airlines are forecast to, that will increase to 1/2 of the pilots attrition per year.
