I agree with just about everything said. I’d like to add though if you read the last few pages of some of the PSA threads on here most of your questions will be answered.
As much as PSA has been driving me crazy the last year or 2, it still beats piedmont. Piedmont is probably the only airline I could not recommend even if you live in base. Senior line holders there are crediting 75 hours with only 11 and 12 days off. As someone else in another thread said... you could commute to another airline in LAX clear across the country and still have more days off at home with more pay than living in base with piedmont.
