I was contacted yesterday as well. Sorta forgot about it as an option. As I understand it from refreshing my information today, training times are long at PDT but coming down. Pilots are crediting 75ish hours a month. I haven't seen much on reserve - is it short at PHL?
As far as RTPs go, Piedmont sounds pretty decent and I could drive to work from the Baltimore area. Sounds like, since most people dislike their jobs on APC, being able to drive to work is +++. I am not expecting the flows to bear fruit but I guess it's a "nice to have".

That serves my point precisely. Even a cursory understanding of how airlines and the seniority system works is enough to conclude that your argument is weak. I could explain it to a non-pilot, and they'd be able to point out that the longer someone is with an airline, the less beneficial it becomes to change to another one.
Why you fail to grasp the concept, as someone that claims to have already been an airline pilot, is somewhat baffling. I guess we can just chalk it up to cognitive bias.

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...

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.

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

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.
