Not the point.
You posted an article ten month old filled with language like "plans", "proposing", "expecting", etc. What use was that in denying today's rumors about the potential demise of PSA?
Most of the dates referred to in the article are already in the past. Was it actually funded in May? Did PSA actually sign the lease? Did it start in June on schedule? Was it finished in October?
From your second post it sounds like they have yet to finish the facility and have yet to start training there but are on the way. It would have been better to just say the first time than posting a old article which is so far out of date all it does is torpedo any legitimacy you might have had.

My last post was reguarding the last teamsters update that was dated feb1st posted in AVL. I was just posting what I read. Piedmont have all groups on board with a token vote by dispatchers on March 11(?).. That's uspposed to pass 100% and that will do it for ll labor groups here. Has PSA ratified everything? Just wondering.

we were first so were getting all the jets
NO we were first so there
NO NO NO are groups ratified first so your wrong!!
Wont you guys ever learn it called WHIPSAWING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cant believe how easily you fall for Dave's bu## sh**!! Whatever our pal. Dave is going to do, it will be so, cutting our own throats will not help.. Again does anyone believe Dave went to the judge without a plan??? Gee your honor we might do this if the mechs agree, but perhaps we will do that if the FA's will do this, but who knows maybe those other pilots will agree to this, so basically we dont have a plan so why dont you approve this. and after hearing this the judge said "why yes, that is a great plan!!!

I have no idea what the other workgroups concessions consisted of. Probably not much different from ours, but we took pay cuts and changes in our medical benefits costs among other things that escape my memory at the moment. All to let group put more rj's off-site instead of at the WO's, which is fine I guess, I'd rather stay in the dash than fly that tiny sh*tbox junkjet.
Quote of USAirways propaganda article:
"Embraer regional jets have stand up cabins and large overhead bins"
Thats true, if your a circus midget, and don't take any carry-on's.
If the general public weren't such idiots in believing everything the media mis-reported we wouldn't be in as bad a situation as we are.
i hate people.....

Or my personal favorite found on an ALG crew bag...
Flying Yesterday's Airplane into Tomorrow!
We can also try,
We're Express, We care Less.
It's not just the destination, its the journey, and you'll have alot
more time to enjoy the journey in a Dash 8.
Piedmont, it's like Great Lakes, only with bigger props!
My plan was to build ducting out of thermal tape, attach it to the
APU duct, trick out the WOW switch, and run the APU in in flight.
Voila! An RJ.

It's amazing how the whipsaw has cut into the 3 wholly owns. PSA of course has nothing to lose with there terrible contract. Plus the fact the MEC makes there choices without pilot input. Here at PDT we have so many pilots with over 14years of Dash 8 time, they aren't going anywhere (they are happy), or nobody wants a pilot with 13,000 hrs of DHC time. Plus the fact there isn't many jobs out there. So they just want to see PDT stay in Buisness. Not sure whats going on with ALG, I am sure the same as PDT.
The Whipsaw is a small part of the problem. I think the worst is MESA and the fact they are gonna sign a Contract that will put the whole regional airlines back about 10years. I think the United Express guys better listen up, because Mesa is in talks with United right now. Mesa, if you guys sign this TA, you have doomed the regionals, and you think just the WO's hate you. Wait and see have the whole industry treats you soon. Wake up and have some balls. There is no reason you shouldn't have a contract like ACA, Comair, etc. YOU FLY THE SAME A/C. You do the same job.
Good Luck!
