Both are the highest paying regionals. 9E has highest base and Piedmont highest pay including 300%. Some guys are making bank right now. Even first year base pay is 20-30k higher than some of the other regionals. The Wholly owned regionals which also includes Envoy and PSA are setting the bar right now. I think it will go even higher in the next few years. Lots of new hires will be at these companies so if you get on now you can have a good ride. I just rode first class recently visiting my folks and rode first again going to FL for a little mini vacation on my Piedmont benefits, all for free.

I sure hope DAL and 9E can work on a more defined path in the future. If Delta is truly impressed with the work of Endeavor pilots as Ed Bastian has expressed, there should be an easier path.

The nice part of a flow is the guaranteed movement every month. You know that you march your way up the list by at least the same amount every single month. That is a huge benefit to everyone on the seniority list, even the newest guy at the bottom.
Between Endeavor and PDT, I'd choose PDT.

I believe the number at 9E is 15-16/mo for a total of at least 180 for 2017.
