Piedmont and PSA both have similar LOW upgrade times. PSA just awarded someone an upgrade class date that had 10 only months of seniority (with previous 121 time). The main requirement for either carrier is the 1000 hours of 121 time.

Piedmont's flow agreement with American is better than ours, by percentage of Pilot group per class. At 6 per month we flow less than 6% annually, while for Piedmont their 6month is over 10% annually.

I had to make the same decision of Envoy vs PSA vs Piedmont. The combination of FW training availability and bases made my choice of PSA easy. Four of the five PSA bases should have some reasonably priced crash pads, if you must commute. People are holding a line only a few months out of training. And PSA is currently maintaining the training pace, while I understand Piedmont is struggling (but you'd be getting paid and building seniority depending on where the slow-down is).
