Sounds like you probably shouldn’t as much as you hate the quality of life you have. Skywest, Envoy, PSA, Gojet, and TSA are all hiring DEC’s. If it’s so bad at piedmont why not go to one of those?

And worse yet, you are doing it in the spirit of pushing a yes vote. Do what you need to do to convince yourself that you're making the right decision. I think you are. But do not do it in a conversation about how we as a pilot group should vote. Because you are not one of us

Where have I said anyone should vote yes or no? All I’ve done is state what changes I’m REALISTICALLY hoping to see.

Only person I challenged was the guy saying there’s numerous other regionals with better QOL

Actually those airlines hire pilots with regional quals. Costco is hard to get hired at. Probs harder than spirit. Def harder than frontier. Airport toilet guy has a pension. He ain’t smiling because he’s thinking of all the turds he’s seen

The point was all those jobs have better QOL than PDT.

I’m content here. For now I’ll stay. Maybe just to see if I can follow your progression through the ranks from new guy to burnt out. Should be fun.

Truth is you will make some friends here but the schedule, or the QOL will not be one. My homies here have fought the good fight and have the right to an opinion. You have not.

June 4 is it? thats when you get an opinion.

Again doesn’t make sense that your “content” if life sucks so bad at piedmont. Anyway we’ll see what happens. Fact of the matter is all the regionals suck. Hopefully none of us will have to be at a regional very long.

Remember it’s like curling. ”mgt tosses the decision stone down the lane. The union is the sweepers. They might move it a few inches, but it takes a f-ton of sweeping.” Pilot X. Only way to make life okay PDT is to live in base or very close by. I moved all over the damn east coast to not commute on days off. Unfortunately the way I’ve seen the past to get 12 days off they are going to want a lot in return.
