Perhaps the new leadership at the top and his background may lead to the needed changes to make Piedmont that next step better.
sf is the current president
who can't be forced out soon enough, yet is some how, for some reason, still lingering on
he'ss the root of almost everything thats wrong with pdt, including the continuing abuse by GB(planning) and JK(training)
until the paneling palace is cleared of his vile presence and influence, we'll just keep doing what we're doing

How have the class sizes been lately? We had 5 start in the last class here at PSA from what I heard and Envoy seems to be in the same boat. Just curious as to how you guys have been panning out. I think the quicker all the WO'd start struggling the quicker AAG will produce the cash. It may be a little too late either way.

In the 4 classes since mid-December, numbers have gone from the mid-teens to 5-ish in each class.

Well that sort of answers a lingering question I had on whether or not a rsv line or hard line would provide more time at home. No reserve right now? I guess that answers that.

I do plan to move to base. Shooting for ROA.

I'm FO reserve in ROA, and for 3/4 of my 5 day reserve periods I've stayed home and not been called on either the first or the last day. It turns into an extra 3 or so days at home. I bid reserve on purpose, even though I could hold a line (the rumors are true, our lines suck). Totally justifies moving into base in my mind. ROA still has reserves, SBY has almost none (if any) and MDT has a few.

Well, that's a little better. Thanks for the information. How many hours have you been typically crediting on reserve in ROA?

You need 2500 hours TT and 1000 121. PIC time doesn't mean much. Fastest upgrade so far was 4 months 2 weeks

Less than 6 months now but I wouldn't recommend anyone upgrading in the dash without a few hundred hours in type.
