Didn't notice this before but Piedmont advertising for DECs. Not sure when it first appeared on their pilot hiring page:
"
20 DIRECT ENTRY CAPTAIN positions now available. Pilots who meet all 121 captain requirements may be eligible to receive an industry and wholly-owned competitive DEC bonus. The additional DEC bonus would be $15,000 on top of the $18,000 new hire pilot bonus.
Apply before Dec. 31 at AirlineApps.com"
