Can you expand on this please? Are you referring to the increase in flow slots as the seniority list grows?

Yes. Currently Piedmont flows 3/month. If the airline is unable to increase the hiring numbers, they will be stuck at 3/month. Someone joining the airline now will not be eligible for the flow though by the time the contract expires.

I didn't know you can get permanent bids in the email. Never got mine.
Have we already gone thru the entire seniority and hiring directly into the jet now?wait I know a few guys wanting to go to the jet in nov/dec. this is not going to go well.
Another smart decision by Piedmont management.

A FO can switch to the jet after two years or anytime if they go for the upgrade. Also, an FO can go FO on the jet with the intent that they will upgrade to captain after 3 months of revenue flying as an FO on the jet to allow the person to get used to the jet before they upgrade.
All I know is my seniority just keeps going up.. Which means every monthly bid, my Skd gets better. That being said, even with my grumpiness I'm fairly happy right now.

Can't do this anymore. This section of the contract was modified by LOA 19, and these two clauses were removed. The seat lock is 24 months, unless you get displaced into another position OR upgrade in your current aircraft type. Unless the Company waives the locks, of course.

Okay, I'm considering Piedmont but I have some questions. How does the flow through work? Is five years realistic or is it just a marketing ploy to attract pilots? Is Piedmont's flow through better than Envoy's or PSA's? If a pilot was hired when the flow through was in place and one day, AA terminated the program and the pilot was still at Piedmont, does that pilot still have the opportunity to flow through in the future or is that out the window?

Who knows if they were to terminate the flow. I'm sure it alpa would fight it and who knows.
