Piedmont Airlines pilots enjoy industry leading pay, the fastest contractual flow to American Airlines and now the best work-life balance among other regional airlines.
Piedmont Airlines has reached a tentative agreement with the Airline Pilots Association (ALPA) enhancing quality of life benefits including a change in reserve rules for our pilots.
This tentative agreement provides:
• Updated reserve rules: All Piedmont captains, including Direct Entry Captains, are guaranteed not to spend extended time on short-call reserve. Once a Piedmont pilot completes 250 hours flying as a captain with the company, they will be guaranteed long-call reserve (a minimum 12-hour call-out).
• All pilots will receive a minimum of 12 days off each month.
• 50% bonus on select holidays (including Super Bowl Sunday) for all Piedmont pilots
• All pilots with ‘eligible upgrade hours’ (including Part 135 or 91K) will be entitled to bring their longevity from other airlines to Piedmont and be placed on a higher step on the pay scale.
With Piedmont’s top tier pay for pilots, captain salaries start at $146 per hour and increases with every year of experience up to $213 per hour. New Direct Entry Captains and High Time First Officers are eligible to take advantage of the new $100,000 up front experience bonus by applying by the end of the year.
