Piedmont Airlines continues to establish itself as a leader in the regional industry by introducing new reserve rules that are changing the game for Captains. Piedmont Captains are guaranteed long-call reserve (a minimum 12-hour call-out) after completing 250 Captain hours, offering more predictability and flexibility. No more sitting at the airport!
“We know the biggest drawback for pilots changing companies is sitting on reserve forever,” says Eddie Leverton, Vice President of Flight Operations. “At Piedmont, that just won’t happen. We have a contractual guarantee that ensures that after just a couple of months, Captains are able to choose to sit long-call reserve, and additional provisions ensure that a commuting Captain on reserve will never need a crash-pad.”
Due to these unique reserve rules and Piedmont’s projected growth, Piedmont DECs can expect a relatively short time on short call reserve and a quick progression up the seniority list.
