PSA is hiring very "senior" FO's. There are truly guys getting hired by majors and LCC's before they hit the line. What is wrong with that? That is a good thing. There are former Comair captains that are starting indoc now.

The typical new hire pilot at PSA is a guy that has been in the regionals for 5-7 years. They are getting hired before guys that are "senior" to them, but it is because they are better qualified. That is nothing to be ashamed of. If a former captain from another airline with 10,000 hours that just started with PSA gets hired before a PSA FO that has 4 years with the regionals and 5000 hours, there is nothing wrong with that.

I understand that other airlines may have more senior people leaving, but PSA only has about 400 "senior" pilots that have been with the company more than a couple of years. If 8 of the 400 senior people are leaving each month, that is a fairly high percentage. That is 25% attrition of senior pilots each year. That would mean that in 4 years, all of the people that have been here more than a couple of years will have moved up and be gone.

As the pilot pool gets bigger, attrition will continue to increase. That is how it works. As more and more senior people move on to the majors, more spots will open for people to move up. Add that to the 3 new airplanes a month that are coming to PSA over the next year and a half, that is a ton of movement.

And the FO's that "wash out" of training is very low. Keep trolling...
