Re: Hired at Piedmont!!!
Hiya, First off congrad(t)z for having the opportunity to do this.
I do have a comment though that may not be to popular with the masses here at JC,.. but at the same time perhaps most will / should agree:
There is always the talk of people lowering the bar and the minimal experience that we see going into our regional operators which ultimately run this profession into the ground.
The pay rates and other quality of life issues as well as SERIOUS safety concerns due to the lack of experience are here because of new hires such as yourself stepping into something that you may not truly be prepared for.
Now I always see talk from guys like Seggy, JohnH, and other great guys like Don, and of course the Man himself (DouGh) on the forum expressing the need to gain experience as an aviator prior to actually being responsible for carrying paying passengers at some scheduled airliner outfit.
But the odd (and quite hypocritical) thing is that people here are not actually speaking up when NOW is the time to once again be show that experience is and should be required to actually work ones way up to the 121 level.
Once again, Congrats.. but more so for having the opportunity to interview.
I just wonder if new hires such as yourself whom have very little experience out flying or even teaching others how to fly are actually ready to be making decisions based on experience that simply isn't / hasn't been there.
Fly safe
-perpetual
