Correct! I was in sby a couple of months ago and spoke to the mx recruiter and he said 12 aircraft are being parked because they are going to be coming up on 80k and Hogg said he's not willing to spend the money to increase them to 120k because it doesn't include the cabin upgrade.

I love the Dash, but pouring money into them just doesn't make sense. Almost every flight I've operated the past two weeks has been delayed or cancelled/ferried because of maintenance. Time for Piedmont to move on (/continue moving on).

Yes, I loved the Dash also. However those planes have reached their useful life. It's like an old car that once you're having to pay and maintain them it's time to invest into another one. However the sad part is Piedmont is inheriting Eagles worn out planes. It's like "Lather, Rinse repeat"
"If you build it, he will come." Field of Dreams.
Build up the infrastructure and get some Brand New planes. aka 175's.

Yes PDT is a good place to go. With the retirements and hiring you'd be dumb to go anywhere that has a 3+ year upgrade if getting to a major fast is your priority. It could mean a big seniority difference with what's going on at the majors now.
With the new CEO you might see things changing fast. It's a good gamble to go there now.
