I have heard some negative comments about Piedmont Airlines. I realize the regional airline industry isn't a place to land a career. I know some CFI's who are going to looking at regional airlines in the future. However, it's a place where many career pilots do get the experience they need to eventually move to larger carriers or better flying jobs. Is there a good or decent regional airline pilot can go to get this experience?
All regionals suck... It's just a question of how much. In some cases it's slightly less than the suck of flight instructing. For me a big part of my choice was a place that had crew bases near where I live while at least giving the appearance of treating its employees like humans. Between the 2, my choices were narrowed down to 4 when I was looking to go to an airline. Unfortunately all 4 have been beaten down quite a bit over the last 5 years. In fact the one I ended up at is being beaten yet again.
