Because I went to Riddle... at least that's what they told me. Not that there is anything great about Riddle, actually I did their Online school - didn't even step foot on the real campus - and I really have no desire to.
But I'll fly for Santa Clause at 700 hours... People are leaving Piedmont, people are leaving ExpressJet, people are leaving ASA, Mesa, etc... a regional is not a great QOL for most people from what I understand, but at least I'll be making some money flying.
Yea, I know it'll get old after a while. Believe me, if I could get on with a corporate gig at 700 hours, I would much rather do that. But at least Piedmont is willing to give me an opportunity to fly their aircraft with my experience (or there lack of I should say).
