Both are the highest paying regionals. 9E has highest base and Piedmont highest pay including 300%. Some guys are making bank right now. Even first year base pay is 20-30k higher than some of the other regionals. The Wholly owned regionals which also includes Envoy and PSA are setting the bar right now. I think it will go even higher in the next few years. Lots of new hires will be at these companies so if you get on now you can have a good ride. I just rode first class recently visiting my folks and rode first again going to FL for a little mini vacation on my Piedmont benefits, all for free.
