Without discussing the potential merits of either airline, I'd guess that automakers have made a few stinkers that prospective new-hires in their twenties are more familiar with.
That said, I've never heard of Piedmont line-holders getting more than 11 or 12 days off. Also Collins ProLine > Honeywell Primus.

The last time you could buy a new Pinto, Piedmont was still Piedmont, PSA was still Pacific Southwest Airlines, and American was still USAir, TWA, America West, Pacific Southwest Airlines, AirCal, Piedmont, Ozark, and American.

Sorry, couldn't think of any "modern stinkers" as fitting as the Yugo and Pinto analogy...

The Piedmont pilots on here especially seem to be really negative, and say that PSA is by far the best choice. However, I know pilots who fly for both companies, and they all love their jobs.
So, I'm looking to hear the honest pros and cons for each decision. Thanks

Maybe the Company or Union have walked away from the table maybe they haven't, but since they're both keeping us in the dark all I can report is what I've been told from official channels.

PBS works GREAT if you have GREAT work rules/parameters for the program....it all boils down to the work rules/parameters required of the computer system....so if you are going to get PBS, make sure you obtain stellar work rules and duty rigs!!
