Piedmont hiring regional chief pilot

[hdpilot1]

Whats up with Piedmont hiring a regional chief pilot based in Philly? Do we plan on expanding in Philly or what? I guess Johnny B. cant handle all whopping 500 pilots at Pdt.

What the he!! are you talking about?

Well, before I open my big fat gob, I shoulda refreshed my instance of the page.

That's very, very weird on 10000 different levels. I have nightmares about this sort of thing.

 

[hdpilot1]

Yep, look on the piedmont employee website under current job openings. It is rather odd, that's why I posted.

 

[MEL'ed]

one year or equivalent flight dept mgmt experience? What qualifies as that exactly?

 

[Sig]

Hats are optional, so hat police doesn't fit.
Shoe police? Blazer police? Professional Demeanor and Smiley Attitude police?

I have no idea what's going on, but it's PDT- therefore it can't be good. PHL isn't a crew base... yet. Back in the FL days, when FL flying was another airline entirely, they used regional CPs to keep the ducks in line.

PHL is soooooooooooo far removed from HQ in SBY- what, 90 miles? That's what scaring the heck out of me.

Piedmont is taking over the 190 Operation!!

 

[hdpilot1]

Yeah mainline can't fill the right seat of the 190's and the flowthrough isn't in place yet so we must be getting the 190's.

 

[twighead]

that's an interesting airplane you have listed in your profile.
what is a DCH-8?

 

[dingo222]

its a dou che-8, strawberry scent for your pleasure

 

[LowlyPropCapt]

Oh my... What a total waste of time and money. What in the name of J.C. on a popsickle stick is a chief gonna do in PHL?

Give him a golf cart and he can go get my missing bags from A West!

 

[hdpilot1]

Its a D_Ck Head 8 or i guess im just dyslexic.

Doesn't J.B. retire pretty soon? Perhaps this job posting is for his replacement, a new chief pilot to be based out of PHL where most of our flying happens instead of all of management being based in SBY where a tiny fraction of our flying happens.

I had also heard a rumor about our D.O. from ALG being solicited for the job (again). PHL is a lot closer to his home than SBY, maybe that rumor will come true.

 

[skychicken]

maybe they are just trying to make it a one leg deadhead for all of us to make disciplinary trips easier!!! I dont know about any of the rest of you, but I have to call in sick afer my meetings for at least a couple days to get the smell of chicken out of my system

J.B. is out in about a year. Looks like they're getting ready to prep the new C.P. How much you wanna bet his intials will be D.T. (if we stay with a PDT guy). I hope for the sake of Piedmont that the new C.P. will be a former ALG guy though.

 

[check6]

Yeah, that way Piedmont will stop having the "mom and pop" mentality.

 

[Whataburger]

Hay, free type rating.

 

[MEL'ed]

If they're looking for a regional CP for PHL, why not one for CLT as well? A whole lot of flying goes on there as well and it is farther from SBY.

What's up with the job posting for STL Shift Manager posted on 12/19? Last I checked, we don't even fly close to STL.

 

[FirstMate]

PSA prob goes there but the outstation is run by PDT agents

 

[ceo_of_the_sofa]

Ex ALG D.O.? Is that F.J., by any chance? If so, he was an awesome dude to fly with.

Yes, but P.J., really, doesn't go by F.J.
He was an awesome dude to work for, too.

I'll second that.

 

[ceo_of_the_sofa]

Yea, "F". I know, interesting name. Anyway, very cool dude. He should take J.B. on the offer.

 

[NuGuy]

Heyas all,

Back in the day, PDT had regional chiefs in ORF and JAX. MY was mondo cool in JAX, and wound up taking one for the team when he stepped up to defend a guy.

He was a stand up guy, and fun to fly with to boot. Anyone know if he's still there?

Nu
