Piedmonts offerings look pretty good, however every single base they have is a two legged commute. QOL is not there for commuters!

That PTO sucks. 5 days? Then 10 days?

My first year I got 2 weeks vacation, plus short-term-disability accrual, plus sick time accrual...

It's hard to compare, QX is probably the best regional out there.

Its vacation days not PTO. We have trip touching so those 5 days can really get you 17-21 total days off in a month if you do it right. That is the equivalent of 1-1.5 months off in the second year. Sick time is about 4 hrs per month accrual. Disability, life, etc through the union. It doesn't suck lol.

About your trip touching, does it net you more paid vacation days or just drops trips that touch your vacation days and vacation pay credit stays the same?

Credit is the same. It is how you use it that can yield the best benefit. You can kill the trips with less daily credit than your vac and make money over original line or try to line up a train of days off, up to you. I recently did 20 days off in Nov, 11 in a row, 82 hrs credit on 51 block.
