So is it over? The PDT MEC says that ALG and PDT will remain solely turboprop operators. If US Air is going to be out of the turboprop busines by 2008, the math doesn't work out too well. What's everyones take on this? Such a sad, sad day. At least PSA will still be around. Maybe we can all go work there. I just hope they don't sell out on the 100% mainline staffing of the 70 seaters.

eddie,
Here's the hotline...
Over the past year and a half we have persistently and proactively sought to protect the jobs and careers of Piedmont pilots during very difficult times for all of us. Our options have been very limited; with only one pointing to a possibly secure future and the other towards certain demise. Our pilot group overwhelming opted to help the airline remain viable and strong, and have fully lived up to their commitments via concessions and continued exemplary performance despite archaic conditions.
Your MEC has learned that current projections for Piedmont and Allegheny airlines point to us remaining turboprop operations, and we feel it is our obligation and duty to pass this information along to you. In the knowledge that USAirways intends to replace turboprop flying over the course of restructuring with regional jet equipment, we can only draw the obvious conclusion at this time.
There are enough reasons to believe that in and ever changing restructuring landscape, the scenary will continue to shift, and that we, if only by default, may still remain an active player. But at the same time, this is in itself enough cause for alarm on a broader scale, since the restructuring plan as filed with the bankruptcy court contains specific guidelines and economic goals to be achieved through specific implementation strategies. The 'plan' remains hardly recognizable at this point, and it is becoming 'crystal' clear that many key pieces are still missing and others will be considerably delayed. Rest assured that your MEC is already taking the necessary and appropriate action in response to this news, the possibility for which we have prudently prepared for over the course. But in light of these developments we strongly recommend that you also carefully consider your long term futures and plan accordingly.
