FO in the Dash might have been from West Virginia, and since he couldn't read he thought it was a Brownstreak plane.

When I asked him about it he said the FO in the Piedmont plane was flipping him off first. I thought it was funny because I had never seen anyone do it before. He explained to me that Piedmont didn't really like AWAC. But being a new guy to the industry I had no idea if it was true or not. This is not an attempt to start some flame bait. I am no longer at AWAC but was just curious.

Definitely not a feeling like that across the board, I guess the FO had a personal issue with AWAC, like he didn't get hired or he was threatened by the shiny jet.

PDT has it out for AWAC because you guys have way too many seats and are retarding growth opportunities for PDT. Then again, PDT are some of the most disgruntled guys I have ever seen.

Has anyone heard anything new on the people waiting in the pool? Last I heard was that they were possibly looking at a new hire class in April/May.

Nobody said it was bad ... A least it shows some signs piedmont is getting some new cities and getting some flying back hopefully it continues like that
