Default Re: Piedmont--got the job! but i have an urgent question!

Let me preface this by saying I'm not at PDT but I do interact with their crews on a pretty regular basis...

The stuff you are going to want to know in and out are probably the flows and call outs. The systems stuff they are going to teach you, but you should probably know as much as you can understand on your own. If you have no experience with complex systems they aren't going to expect you to teach your self, however once you do start learning it there they probably expect it will come together pretty quickly as you have seen it all before in the pretest.

PDT has been sending guys home. They may be desperate, but there are still standards. You'll need to know your stuff to make it through, but the training program is NOT what it was 3 years ago. I think that might be true right across the board for all regionals.

Also, they finally started painting their Dashes (leaving PSA as the only express carrier with no airplanes in the new paint) and they look niiiiice.
