Commutair might be a better option for you living in Baltimore.

Because they gave me 45k up front and captain pay from day 1 and I’ll liekly fly more here on rsv then other airlines.

So why don’t you leave? One year seniority is easy to give up. Then you can go to one of those awesome regionals that pay you 100k and have 18 days off.

That depends on the composition of the pilot pool. For example, 28% of the pilots at Piedmont were hired in the last year. That is a significant amount of seniority.

On reserve you can expect to work every day.. but fly about 25 hours... you'll be doing mdt and abe terminators and yellow cab rides back to phl at midnight... you'll double dead head to pgv to fly one leg back to clt.. dh back to phl tooi fly the terminator to abe, and dh in a yellow cab to phl...

I have a reserve month last april, i head over 45 hours of cabs, and about 20 hours of actual flying..

I'm as senior as it gets now for captains... i has 11 days off in November and credit 83 hours. I'm bidding in the top 30 right now.. that's a 5800 dollar pay check or after taxes and deductions I'm making only 3500...

You can not afford to live in the phl area on the wages...

FYI your pay was against the cba along with the bonus pay...

To put things in perspective, I left Piedmont for a flying job in Afghanistan and I my quality of life has improved tremendously.

Well technically the bonus was paid before I was part of the CBA. As for the CA pay if our union was worth 2 cents they’d have an LOA hammered out to get everyone captain pay from the day they were awarded it. That’s what happened pretty quickly at Envoy in the same situation.

Well the company is fighting the union hand in first on this.. because of the amount of back pay to fos sitting in training right how the company literally doesn't have the money budgeted.. this will be a long battle in mediation.

Technically the bonus was paid to you while u were on property, against the cba.. again this will be in meditation...

I’ve had as much as 21 days off and 65 credit at PSA. That was as a senior FO with great trips, but it’s doable. My record so far is 9 days off and 130 hours of credit without holiday incentive. Some of our pilots are crediting over 150 hours in November with 11 days off from the holiday pay LOA. Our SAP is downright slow and does not work as the contract says it should, but it still works.

That being said, the SAP is not a reason to come to PSA right now as we head into negotiations for PBS in 2019. Not saying it will go away, but the company certainly does not care for it.
