Lol do not be on here telling mofos to go to OMNI. It is not good. Its an awful quality of life and unless you enjoy spending 6 days at a time in a compound (excuse me hotel) in Kuwait...move along. Both of my friends wish they were back at the regionals.

That’s funny because both my friends love it there. Especially with the new contract.

Yeah we have some former Piedmonsters there and they all report they love it...

Hahaha 6 says in Kuwait is a vacation... they’ve got a pool! Bring your swim trunks!

It’s a lot nicer getting more than 2-3 days off in a row and making way more $$$... and business class travel where you keep the airline and hotel points doesn’t suck either.

If you commute it’s terrible until a year in than it just sucks . If able to hold a line, commute in on day one and commute home on day four unless you are junior manned which is happening a lot. For myself it means waking up on day one at 4 am, catching the early flight to philly getting a minute suite for an hours rest unless the crew room does it for you. Start work at 4 in the afternoon fly three segments finish at 1030 pm . Second day two segments finishing late again with min rest to swap to earlies, another min rest day to hopefully finish by 1 pm commute home jump seat because of basic economy fares all the flights are now full, to be at my house by 5 pm . 2 days off with scheduling calling on the last day off upto 4 times trying to make you answer so they can start you early . This means commuting in on a day off . Expect to spend 5 thousand that first year on hotels, food,unless you eat like crap and don’t mind being a fat regional pilot . While on build up lines expect to commute in the night before so on your day off and finish late day four . You guessed it one full day at home to start again. If you live in PHL things are better with 11 days off . Expect the lines to be played with , expect to see some lines with 13 days off but running more days than other lines , so effectively still getting 11 days off .

But you will flow in 8 years...

Welcome to the airlines. Especisllly commuting at a regional. Be glad you weren’t on reserve for 4 years, half of it at a base with a 2 leg commute.

Unicorns and pots of gold under the rainbow . A lot can happen in 2 years let alone 8 years. No one is happy at piedmont , and if they are I haven’t met them or they are used to eating a sh** sandwich and this is just fresh out of the horse so tastes better. DEC getting captains pay from day 1 FO upgrades stuck on FO pay until they pass the upgrade. This entire company holds people based on the flow.

Don’t assume my friend , too many do that .

Wow, sounds terrible. Glad I don’t commute from wherever you commute from. I expect 11 days off and nothing else. Haven’t spent a nickel on a hotel room EVER. I eat Chipotle, Sushi, Red Mango, and au bon pain salads. So I’ve avoided the “fat” regional Captain. Hope it gets better for you!!
