No. There is no pay raise in PSA's future. Mgmt has
repeatedly asked PSA pilots to fly -900s for -200 rates.
I'd guess most guys hate it. They're leaving by the gross. Anybody who can move up is going up, anybody who can move to the side is getting out that way. The company keeps reinterpreting the contract to the detriment of the pilot group.
I quit PSA to fly for Eagle (the BOS base was my deciding factor). And would've gone to XJet or Air Whisky if I had not been able to hold a NE domicile.
Here's a quote from a PSA message board, I think it sums up the entire PSA experience.
"
Hey, just wanted to let everyone know that aircraft 703PS had the forward lav overflow and seep through the bulkhead and the carpet to row 10 on Monday, April 9. The company apparently has decided that this biohazard of blue juice and human waste is okay to fly because the juice is dry now. I hear that the passengers are complaining that it smells of urine and strong chemicals and are throwing up more often than normal in flight. Additionally, F/As are reporting sore throats and burning eyes as a result of continued exposure to this plane. Thought I would pass this along. "
