IF PDT gets pay raises the lower pay scale would apply due to only flying 50 seat aircraft vs larger RJs that PSA is flying (they’re set to get rid of their 50 seat RJs).
PDT may get RJs above 50 seat but the best guess on that happening is 7-8 years when the 145s time out, or whenever PDT is merged with another WO (which according to some folks in the union involved in planning for that contingency, may happen within the next 3 years).
Either way PDT lags light years behind PSA in pay and QOL. With flow for New Hires approaching 10 years at PDT, and PSA sharing the same bases, long term one is better off going to PSA.

I hope those liars get hammered. I know they are just playing the game the way they are told, but it’s borderline criminal what they are promising. Some of these kids think they’ll be widebody captains in 8 years from DOH at piedmont.... you’ve got to be ignorant to believe that, but the recruiters shouldn’t be saying it either
