After all the title of this Forum is, "I Love PSA." I was only reading it to find out about my new company. I think it's clear, I was mislead. I am just amazed at the amount anger that was expressed towards someone trying to put food on the table. I am just as appalled by the low pay scales in the regionals. However, I think you should check around in other professions. First, second, and even third year pay for Doctors, Dentist, Lawyers, and yes Even Investment bankers sucks. If you are competitive, hard working, and committed enough you will get pulled up to the Majors. However, with an attitude like the one originally quoted, you will undoubtedly never get past the physiological screening. I love to fly and hopefully you do to. Otherwise, go find another job.
I too am transitioning from one career to the regional rat race. First and foremost I would like to thank YOU and all the rest of the men and women that served this great country. I look at some of the petty responses and put them in perspective. I to may end up at PSA, there fore I would be considered garbage having had no part of the vote. I would be the trash for accepting a job with a company that voted a certain contract.....I too will weigh my options and this may just be an acceptable set of options for me. I will conduct myself in a professional manner NO MATTER which airline or uniform I wear. This isn't I'm better than you, its I have pride that I put in the time to make myself marketable and I accepted the rules/contract at the time of hire. True professionals, what we all seek to be are going to act like it even in the face of adversity.
