Except if you’re a Captain. You’ll be flying a 4 day and 2 more days after that within 7 mins of butt in recliner with an extension to the max duty day on the last day, and you’ll ******* LIKE IT! Happens to me every time. The last time I was released early enough to catch a flight home the same day my wife actually cried.

Especially if you end up based in CLT or DCA. They just agreed to increase the amount of HRV crews to sit. Double the fun!

Terminal treasure hunts are fun when you have enough people to partake.

I keep reading about terrible QOL and no solutions on the horizon for pdt... Is it true that not being on base is still better than being on base with PDT?

Yes. You could commute across the country to LAX for compass and have to get a hotel on both ends of your trip and have a better quality of life than living in base with Piedmont. Not exaggerating. Read their threads. Senior line holding pilots at piedmont are getting only 11 days off and only crediting 75 hours.

Lazy Boy? You must be one of those spoiled CLT reserves. The outstations are lucky to have furniture just barely superior to lawn chairs.

Their flow rate, as a percentage of the pilot group (which is what matters) has long been higher than PSA's, so there is that. If flow is the goal, Piedmont has been the better choice for several years.
