Piedmont Airlines 

A shell of it's once stronger, and respected, original mainline airline service. Since the US Air Merger, they now fly under the American Eagle Brand as a regional Operator and Ground Handler.

God damn, Shit-mont! Always loosing my bags, and delaying my flight! I'll never fly Piedmont Airlines ever again if I can help it!

Piedmont Airlines 

A Regional Carrier for American Airlines typically handling short feeder flights between Hubs and Field Stations operating under the brand American Eagle.

They employ union workers under the CWA (Communications Workers of America) which has ties to CenturyLink and has a rather poor contract till they renegotiate. The payscale is lacking and the inability to strike among other things.

For most routes they Operate small Bombardier Canadair Regional Jets (CRJ 700-900's) or Embraer 145's which require your carry-on to be gate checked (Valet) with Red / Yellow tags. They do sometimes use Embraer 175's for more comfortable routes.

Management tends to be power hungry and violation vigilant which leads them to nitpick everything their workers do in the name of compliance and safety. On most busy days they have back to back flights which leads to overwork / exhaustion

There tends to be high turnover and short staffing which leads to young college kids and a high number of adolescents taking the job.

Jolene:
"I just flew on Piedmont Airlines under American Eagle from PHX to SBA they wouldn't let me take my carry-on bag full of rocks and bowling balls on the plane because the Gate Agent said it was too big to fit in the overhead bin or under the seat! You have to do something about this!"
