Piedmont Hiring

[Fly-By-Cable]

LOL True! But last time I looked we get paid by the minute! They are lookin' to start the hiring again. Looks like mainline is gonna honor Pref. Hiring again at Piedmont/PSA.

Where did you here that? I know that Psa mec, and I'm sure pdt as well, is aggressively pursuing the pref hiring issue but I haven't heard anything concrete.

Yep! Love it when the tower or ATC says, Piedmont are you gonna be able to get down??? Our minds, "Please don't insult us like that".
DCA Controllers Loved the dash! Had one guy talk to us awhile back saying how having the Dash come into DCA helped them move more metal. DCA has some of the best ATCs in the country. They knew what the Dash was able to do, and used it to our and there advantages. Basically he said they missed all the Dashes. My FO got a kick listening to that conversation.
Another Airplane that can do incredible stuff! But I don't know Caveman... Maybe American soundn't fly this Unprofessional approach! Might make the pax nervous!

yes, land 15 to hold short of 19 (it was 18 back then). This was a condition the Ransome had to meet to get the slots in DCA.
