Your interactions with management should be very limited. PDT is a good place to go for a reason (I.e. accrue flight time quickly, minimal reserve, close base), it’s a good stepping stone. If you look at it like that, it’s actually a good place to work. Company culture doesn’t really mean anything, cute Twitter posts and special pins don’t pay your bills.

Once again, thanks for all the info.
My flight time average is 1.4hrs per flight.
Don’t plan on being home more than 8 days a month, especially as a commuter, and you won’t be disappointed.

That said of the 3 WOs this is still the quickest path to the left seat by a bit. At PSA you might only have 400 hours by that point with all that airport reserve they don’t put in the brochure. Envoy would be faster than PSA.

PSA vs Piedmont
I’m about 2 months out from getting my 1500 hours and trying to decide in between Piedmont and PSA. I live in CLT so neither one would be a commute and both pay the same so I just wanted to hear some opinions on which would be the better option?
