Questions...
Ill be getting back into the regional world after being gone for about 2 years. I live in fort myers so i will have to commute no matter where i go. I was with PSA for 1.5 years and got about 950 crj sic time. Im ar about 3000TT right now with about 800 being helo turbine pic. In my mind, i figured my best options as far as regionals would be PDT or Endeavor. The starting pay with bonuses are about the same... commute to lga or phl wouldnt make a difference... but i think pdt may offer a quicker upgrade. Advantage of endeavor would be flying the crj that im ffamiliar with and the fact that they overnight in fort myres which may offer me more time at home. Now, im 37 with a family so oving for a regional is out of the question. I will have to commute. I tried my hand at allegiant because they have a base 25 minutes from home and the dy trips are appealing, but got the tbnt email the day after i applied. So, for those currently at pdt... any advice?

Bonus
Can anyone advise on how pdt pays out their bonuses? They are offering a 20000 dollar retention bonus and on the hiring page it said something about a sign on bonus of 16200 dollars.... wht exactly are they paying and how do they pay it out? Thanks to all!

$1200 on Day 1, $5000 on Day 5, $10,000 after IOE. The retention bonus is $2500 each quarter and it caps out at $20,000.

We did Indoc the first week then had a couple days off then systems for another week with a couple days off, then procedures before the holiday then right after it. Started December 5th, finish 12/31 then who knows what'll happen for the sims.

If you leave before a certain timeline do you have to repay? PSA has a 3 year commitment or you have to pay back a pro-rated amount of their initial bonus.
