I tossed my hat in the ring, I dunno if anyone else has. They may get me on "previous experience," but who knows.
 
Piedmont was my first job. Started at $8.78 an hour in 1996. I'd be curious to see learn what they're paying now, and if their dispatch office has changed any. Back then it was in a double-wide mobile home trailer that they had rolled into the hangar.
 
I haven't heard back regarding the application, so I'm assuming either more time or the position filled and I'll be getting a TBNT email soon.
 
Looks like they have updated to new website format although the career listings (listings frame design at least) seems to remain the same as before.
 
Glass door reports last piedmont starting pay at 11.50 or about 23k a year. Any idea if that has gone up?
 
Piedmont pay is 15.52 an hour with new contract from last year. Goes up to $16 after 6 months. Mainline flying benefits. Rent in Salisbury is pretty high due to not a lot of options. Looking $800-1000$ per month for one bedroom in a decently safe area. Company will pay for 30 days of hotel at airport hotel while you get settled. Piedmont OCC is next door to SBY airport.
