There's a bit of negative comment about PDT (and Air Wisconsin) on APC. It seems to be related to the alleged future of the 50-seat airplane in the regional world. I have no idea if any of this is accurate...and neither does anyone else at this point.
But perhaps it doesn't matter to a young footloose Aussie pilot looking to get into the first airline jet job. Just get in, get an FAA ATP and some jet time and move on to something better & bigger.
Don't let the Debbie Downers scare you away.
