OH MY GOD, I can't believe this hasn't been said yet....

Thank you

Surf... you are right... it sort of is like dealing with an ex...
I too have many good friends there Captains and FO's. I don't want to see PDT go away, because then we will have nothing to laugh at in PHL (just playing).
PDT was a great place to start. Good HARD training. The people were fun for the most part. But MGT has to go!!! Otherwise they will not go far.

When will you guys realize PDT management does not make their own major decisions?

In the corporate structure, Farrow is more like a Director of Operations, taking instructions from mainline execs. He has no control over major changes in the company.

We do whatever mainline tells us to do. If they want us to have new Q400's we get them. If we want to have Q400's we wait to see if they agree.

Stop bitching at PDT management for major decisions. Spend your efford bitching at them for things they actually have control of.

Very True. If it was up to Farrow we would have 100 Q400's on the property yesterday. Farrow does what he can with what he has. He is the one that said the RJ was a fad that will be gone soon. Looks like he was on the money with the 50 seat RJ market.

All in all Piedmont Management are puppets. Tempe makes all the decissions.

Kinda like how we shake our heads everytime a E170 taxi's by and wonder how people fly those for sub par rates.

Which is kinda like your fifty seat rates.

Which is kinda like your fifty seat rates.

Just because PDT flies at 3/4 the pay they should doesn't mean Republic should up the antee and fly E-170's for 1/2 the pay they should. Its not a contest to fly the biggest plane for the least money.

I thought we were talking about Mesa?

Ahh right .....which was kinda the point of my post

It is this attitude which has the potential to be the ultimate downfall of the regional airlines as a whole. We already have multiple companies flying airplanes for rates which should be considered unacceptable. However, because of people like this, we are forced to accept lesser pay scales just to secure a job. The only solution to this downward slide is to have the regional airlines as a collective group stand up and demand higher wages and QOL. However, this will never happen because people like this populate airlines like Mesa, Gojet and Republic. Whenever one pilot group tries to make a stand and better themselves, they swoop in and stab their fellow pilots in the back and accept even lower wages on even larger equipment.

 

[WSurf]

Hey Flight1339 I totally agree, but you don't have to respone to McNugget. Most people on on FI totally ignore any of his post because most are Flame and he's known as the FI Villiage Idiot.

 

[Flight1339]

I could tell right away that he wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer. I have serious doubts as to whether he even works for Republic. I don't think he'd be able to comprehend flying the 170. However, I've been meaning to say what I did for a long time and he just gave me the perfect opportunity. What I said stands and isn't just about McIdiot.

I agree.....but you should include your group as well.

Boo hoo! Hate the game, not the playa! Hey, it will make more room for you mesa pilots to come work for a better outfit. Not that we want you, or will help you get a job.

 

[Metro752]

Mesa pilots can fly for Republic in those mainline E180s!

PDT said a few weeks ago that there wasn't going to be any flying west of the missippi per the ask PDT. That is what scarbola and farrow said. So where is it that you got they asked PDT to pick up the flying?

They said SYR wouln't close the day before it did. So what's your point?

 

[mu2]

Double post

Sorry genius but I don't work for Mesa. They aren't the only carrier to fly Dash's for Airways. Nice try though.

And good luck trying to make any advancement with that kind of attitude. Rant over.
