It is confusing. Going offline just consider yourself mainline with the US number. I guess it will be AA soon.

Heard of a possible base in RIC. Any truth? I have 1000 PIC CRJ and lots of turbo prop. I would be tempted to leave my current carrier......

For now the plan is for a MX base only in RIC, no crews.

Do you guys have equipment seatlocks? If so how do they work @ PDT?

CAs have a 1 year equipment lock, 2 years for FOs unless the equipment change is a result of upgrade or displacement. The company is currently waiving the equipment lock until at least June. Another lock to keep in mind is the 1 year lock on the flow thru for equipment change or upgrade. This is the main reason the E145 will very shortly become junior for CAs.

Updated gouge?

Has anyone that went through the interview process recently care to share his/her experience and thoughts? Looking for an updated gouge as well.

7/20/15 hire, left another regional, God bless, to come here. Interview starts with a short written test 25-30 questions all ATP type SheppardAir has a gouge I believe. Must make 85% or better. Then about 1.5 hours of presentations and a free lunch (Firehouse subs when I did it). Short 1 on 1 HR/ technical interview. All really standard questions, why Piedmont? TMAT.... Brief this jepp approach, what are green taxiway lights for? When can you start?
There were a couple more questions, but it was relaxed and professional. The one guy that didn't get an offer out of 7 of us that day didn't pass the written.

Make it easy on yourself. Interview at an open house so you dont have to take a written test. The gouge online is seriously spot on. Know how to read a metar inside and out. Know Jepp approach plates and how to brief them. Know your airport diagram and runway lights. Then shake the interviewer's hand and accept a class date. Easy as that.
