Piedmont

[crzepilot]

I know US Airways is Chap11 again, how does this affect Piedmont...They still continue to hire new pilots...does anyone think something bad is going to happen to Piedmont pilots?

Thanks

I think CommutAir is already negotiating with them to buy their Dash 8's. Looks like they'll be going under soon. Anyone working there should probably leave now.

Oh my goodness.... Circle the wagons, here come the Indians!!!!

That's a new rumor I haven't heard. Sounds like hogwash to me. Why would anyone want those tired airplanes?

Aren't they still flying -100's?

 

[CL600Pilot]

Not sure how many(if any) -100's they have left but I know for a fact they have -200s, and -300s....we had all -100's at Allegheny so whatever planes they're still flying from the ALG merger would be -100's.

The -200 and -300's are probably aren't as tired as the -100's.

Yes, all three versions. The -200's are in good shape, but also leased. So are the -300's, but there are one or two beaters in the fleet. We also have a couple of good -100's, but most are very tired.

I see.......any chance you guys are getting rid of any -2's or -3's?
