For a lot of people, that decision is not so simple. I think many will be better off staying at Piedmont and making MORE money than moving onto to an ULCC or even a Legacy unless they were very young. I can also tell you that the schedules at the Legacy I fly for are very fatiguing. I never had to deal with transcon red eyes or sh*ithole airports in 3rd world countries when I was a PDT brotha.

Better off staying at Piedmont and flying your typical line making good money then reevnenting the wheel somewhere else.
