Am I reading that correctly? A Piedmont pilot calling another airline a bottom feeder?
With what Piedmont just did to the industry - literally setting us back 20 years worth of pattern bargaining - YOU ARE THE EPITOME OF A BOTTOM FEEDER.

The only pseudo pattern bargaining that took place was in 2001. Comair struck and signed a decent contract, and on 9/11/01 AWAC signed their contract after walking out and going on strike the very next day.
Kinda a moot point, Comair no longer exists after taking multiple concessions and AWAC took concessions in 2003. Various other companies since then, notably TSA, Pinnacle, Republic/Chautauqua, Mesa, & PSA, have had horrendous contracts in comparison to those two.
There is most definitely no "pattern" in this "pattern bargaining" you speak of.

I really don't want to go to PDT or PSA. If they do merge seems like there could be fist fights in the cockpit. Idk ha. As for the pipeline program there is a contract and a 5 k buyout as far as I know. I haven't dug deep into it yet, but will on my off days. AA pays me I don't know exactly how it works but they do sign my checks. Envoy also came recruiting at my school with a upper management from AA who had nothing but good news to say , I was confused to say the least after reading through all these posts.

You shouldn't make possibly career altering decisions based on what you read from idiots posting on here.
Do your research and go with what you think is going to benefit YOU the most. Contrary to popular belief PDT and PSA both have decent contracts and would most likely be great places to start you career. Compass is also growing and has a good contract.
Holding the imaginary "line" isn't as glamorous as you think when your friends start upgrading and moving on to majors.
Good luck.
