who is your dealer? Asking for a friend.

Whatever y’all on is some good stuff. Money isn’t everything when it’s still the same poorly run Piedmont. Lipstick on a pig to a whole new leve

Money isn't everything, you're right. But it helps the pilot group and improves morale until they are able to move on to AA, or perhaps finish out their careers at PDT.

My buddy at PDT who I flew with called me and we talked about the deal. He got a little emotional on the phone telling me about how much the extra money will help him since the cost of everything has gone up so much this year. You could hear him choking up a bit, so I was happy to hear it'll help him. Many PDT pilots will be out-earning Legacy FOs now. Again, very happy for you all.

thats almost $100/hour more than a 787 CA at AA. Work rules at AA are probably much worse than Eagle. Pretty soon nobody is going to want to flow to mainline. AA is a total dumpster fire. My advice, take the bonus for flowing to AA then bail asap.

Dont assume mainline is any better or you will be sorely disappointed. AA ops are an absolute clown show. But instead of believing some random person on the net go ask 20 random AA pilots over the next few months.

I'm wondering, how many of those 20 random AA pilots never did any GA or Regional flying? Perspective has alot to do with your current level of satisfaction. Many legacy pilots went straight to their seat at mainline never having experienced GA or Regional flying.

For a lot of people, that decision is not so simple. I think many will be better off staying at Piedmont and making MORE money than moving onto to an ULCC or even a Legacy unless they were very young. I can also tell you that the schedules at the Legacy I fly for are very fatiguing. I never had to deal with transcon red eyes or sh*ithole airports in 3rd world countries when I was a PDT brotha.

Better off staying at Piedmont and flying your typical line making good money then reevnenting the wheel somewhere else.

$$$$
Where are guys pulling the $400k LCA pay rates from? I don’t see anything updating the $175/day override. That’s roughly an extra $44/hr. For a 5yr+ CA wanting to flow that’s about $258/hr. Still amazing, but am I missing something?
