I actually flew the F-28 for Piedmont/USAir in 1989 through early 1990 and again in late 1991. Kevin

I got out of the Navy in 1987 with just helicopter and T-34 (single-engine fixed-wing prop) time, so none of the majors would look at me except for Eastern and Pan Am. I interviewed at Eastern and was hired but turned them down due to what was going on there then; I had used my Eastern interview as a "practice" interview since I knew I wasn't going there. I interviewed at Comair and was hired... I got called by Pan Am for an interview, they were just starting to hire for the first time in 20 years. When I got to the Pan Am interview I had a retired Pan Am pilot and a Pan Am Express pilot asking the questions... Pan Am Express was the former Ransome Airline which was bought by Pan Am and turned into Pan Am Express... They had a flow-through agreement whereby Pan Am had to take so many "Express" guys with each new-hire class, so if you were an Express guy you would eventually go to mainline if you wanted to... So, at the end of the interview I told the guys I would rather start at PanAm Express so I could get multi-engine F/O time vs. "regular" Pan Am where I would be a flight engineer for years. They both looked at each other and kinda shrugged and said, OK, and I ended up being hired by Pan Am Express starting in November 1987... Quote:
I was interviewed by USAir the week they bought Piedmont. They called me and said I was hired, then called back about a week later to ask if I wanted to start at Piedmont instead. I asked what the difference would be. They said anyone hired after the date they bought Piedmont would go on the list by date-of-hire and I would start sooner hence be more senior if I went to Piedmont, so I said "sign me up!" That's how I ended up being a Piedmont pilot for 10 months before the actual merging of the 2 operations... Kevin
