Piedmont Airlines reviews

Doing twice the work of mainline for half the pay, getting yelled at by managers for a plane leaving four seconds late, getting yelled at by other rampers that don't give a crap anymore for not loading bags in a broken cargo bin, getting yelled at by bag runners (who were late because they were playing blackjack in the breakroom) for not reopening the cargo bins to load their bags on when we're actively pushing back from the gate, getting yelled at by passengers for not letting them sneak their oversize bags onboard... the list goes on and on. No work-life balance if you're full time, and you need about, let's say 7 years of seniority to get a part-time schedule at bidding time. I was also more or less lied to about the ease of going mainline at my time of hire-- it turns out PT is having such a hard time holding on to people that they've stopped letting AA poach their employees. There are good employees in the company, but far too many that only do the bare minimum of their job and somehow manage to not get fired. I was basically offered a position in management just for being a half-decent employee when they had a manager shortage. I considered it, if only for the massive pay raise, but decided that even $40k per year wasn't worth the stress of having to manage a mess like that, and quit instead. Best decision I ever made.

Hot air crafts. Old equipment that often has you waiting for repairs in Charlotte or Philadelphia. Air crafts very loud.(Propellers) Inflight very nasty. Director of inflight could work on people skills with frontline employees. Hence constructive criticism.
