Dan Stamm needs a little more work if he's going to make it in the journalism field.

"Steering issues." I guess the AP failed and they actually had to fly it? HA

Is PDT having trouble filling classes? I keep hearing that they can't get over 450 pilots.

May class: 5
April class: 7
March class: 11
February class: 12
January Class: 15
December Class: 15

Definitely a die off the last couple months. But again, every regional is having trouble filling classes. Some are having more trouble than others though.

May I ask why you're wondering? It's interesting to see what prospective employees are worried about, if that's the case

I had heard that April was a single class only. I am in the 5/16 class, and I think there was a 5/2 class as well.

From a potential new hire's perspective, the more pilots I see coming to PDT means growth/movement. If more people are coming, then it will keep things running smoothly, I guess. Plus with new planes coming, it's reassuring to know their will be pilots to fill those seats.

It's not just the growth equaling movement. The movement is also generated by the flow thru. Piedmont's problem is keeping up with both.

They're probably not too worried about staffing yet given how much open time is getting picked up. It's cheaper to pay pilots a little extra to surge than it is to bring more on property in the long run. Eventually they're going to have to do more to recruit more applicants, but as long as dudes are willing to bend over for extra flights they're not going to feel any big rush.

Well if you're gonna bend over then it's good to make close to a grand a day. That's what I've heard a few were making with the deal they got.
