The reason is because PSA is short on check airman and once you complete your type, the pilot has 120 days to get 100 hours. So thats why they are postponing it.
On a good note, we do get a huge paid vacation, and there is talk about planning on our class going back to dayton for a mandatory "re-train/brush up." It just kinda sucks cause we won't be able to upgrade for a while!
Don't quote me on any of this, this is just a rumor. But it came from a check airman. (which I believe there are only 45 right now?)
This is pretty darn dysfunctional. They're biting more than they can chew but I can see how they had to do it so they could secure more planes. I hope they add more check airmen - they must have 400 captains at least...
