How long do you have to stay with PDT/PSA/EDV in order to get flight benefits after retirement?

We get a lot of people that start work at Piedmont in their 60s making terrible wages but after a couple years earn their flight benefits.

"They let you have a beard at Piedmont?!?" during cruise made my day lol

Having a full beard in the jumpseat is definitely not something I would recommend trying. Sounds like a great way to get an old crochety captain real upset.

Ditto, something I realize in hindsight. After I explained that I was off indefinitely until training called, we all laughed about it but I could see others not being so understanding.

There're many good things here at pdt unfortunately schedule isn't one of them.

Come to pdt for fast movement/quick upgrade/pay/flow/stability and potential. Don't come here and expect many days off (at least for now)

To commute to a 4 on 2 off might be pretty difficult. How long would it take to get a more favorable schedule?
