How low can you go?

Piedmont's new published minimums: 250 Total and 25 Multi!!!!! How long before they certify the RJ single pilot and put student pilots in the right seat?

Two years ago, who would of thought the day would come.

No fing kidding. I cashed in my 6+ years back in '05 because I refused to go back to FO for one more leg for the Einsteins in Eagan. Now I am looking at another 5+ year upgrade. I can really pick em.

Glad to see that some of my old Mesaba friends will actually be able to make a somewhat decent living at XJ now.

I wouldn't say making $78 an hour with an airline after 10 years is exactly decent! That $78 will seem like $30 bucks after you adjust for inflation.

True enough, but I did say somewhat decent. I had the more junior FO's that would be upgrading in mind. I was just looking at the 8 year CRJ9 rates and am thankful I moved on. From a business standpoint, staying at XJ was a loser.
