DEC - Envoy, Piedmont or PSA?
 

If offered employment as a DEC at Envoy, Piedmont or PSA at the same time: which is the better airline in the long run? I am not geographically bound, but prefer warmer weather if possible...

Honestly, I don’t know much about any, but personally, I’d say Envoy because of the 175. The 145 (Piedmont) although a great airplane, is a dying airplane and PSA has CRJ 700/900.

Simply as a matter of personal preference, I like the 175 over the 700/900. YMMV.

If you can live in base with one of them pick that one. If not I would say Envoy with the 175. Regionals are regionals.

Far and away go to Envoy. Piedmont and PSA were original US Airways wholly owneds and have never been run to the level of Envoy. Envoy was always wholly owned by American and their infrastructure, training, aircraft type and quality of personnel are all far superior to the other two. PSA and Piedmont have made strides but much of their old management is still in place and they don't have the capacity or infrastructure that Envoy does.

Again, for those new here, disregard the posts by the management plant above.

He seems to forget that the main problem at Envoy is the management.
A "CEO" who doesn't really even speak English and during the whole pandemic sent one comm that was a copy paste from Doug Parker. VP of flight ops who furloughed a few hundred pilots for fun, then called these furloughed pilots and said it was the remaining pilots who wanted them furloughed. Director of crew scheduling who proudly says the contract doesn't apply if it may cause a delay, and so on and so on.

I'd take Piedmonts management all day long over Envoy.

unless it’s changed. You will on be paid at FO rates while you’re in training at PSA. Also you get to pay Dayton taxes on that FO pay.
pretty sure PSA is the only one that still has Airport Standby

Well Envoy certainly has airport standby.

Piedmont has airport standby, RAS, too….

that’s my mistake. Sorry
