There is a reason they're offering a signing bonus.
They sure did leave that part out. I too have had the unfortunate experience of the PDT training dept in 2011 and meeting JK and flying with JP in the sim.

Would not recommend.

Speaking of living in base, I'll be in the job market in about 6 months and would like to live in the SBY area, what're the chances of getting a base there?

Spare me all the hate, please, I've read it and understand where most of you stand.

Default Great news

Hello folks, I know things are terrible, ugly and I just don't see how it could get any worse at PDT. The Great news is that AAL will again today report record Q2 Profits and Parker and his American Greed Gang will still want concessionary contracts from PDT/Envoy In exchange for bigger airplanes. Thanks PSA .I'm not giving up 1 $ent. Our union better present an Iron clad contract. Good luck to all that are still at PDT/Envoy.

Give up what? Even if you take RAH wages WITH a stupid 12 year cap () it would be a massive pay bump for you guys.

If we only took there wages maybe but not if we took there total package... Look at both airlines working contract. Look at what PDT pays for good quality health care. Look at what RAH pay for health care. Honestly if PDT went with a RAH package it would be a pay cut for all of them.

I don't expect our healthcare to go unscathed in any negotiations for a re-fleet. If I understand correctly, the likelihood of any concessions is nil. This would lead me to conclude that we are being led down a primrose path while they keep Piedmont on life support in search of another group like Compass to fly the "new" planes. We'll be lucky to get the 145s jammed down our throat, and like it at this point.

Well after there reported Profits I don't think anyone should be on concessions. Especially Envoy! I just hope Envoy doesn't roll over during this cat and mouse game. Just think if PSA voted there contract down. While Parker has a plan to keep is WO cost down I don't think showing one of the biggest profits in History is going to help him. We'll I hope not.
This is going to be interesting......
