At least ive seen the hotels improve a touch over the last few years but you will spend a lot of time in hotels.

Could someone provide an update… How do schedules tend to look these days? Are there many (or any) 1-3 day trips? Is it only 4-day trips or some longer ones too?
I’m mostly interested in shorter trips. My family and I are planning to move to base.

3 day trips with multiple days off would probably come around year 4 as an FO if you chose not to upgrade or year 7 as a Captain right before you flowed.
1-2 day trips are usually created to utilize reserve pilots who have availability left in a reserve period after they’re assigned a 4 day. At the beginning of their 6 day on call period.
Plan on 4-6 days on and 2 days off and you’ll be prepared for Piedmont. If you want better trip quality go to PSA.

PSA maybe marginally better on credit but drops the ball on efficiency. It is not uncommon to plane swap and sit every leg into the hub!
