If I go to PSA and if this happens to me (two ifs, so new-hire-baiters please begone), my plan is to continue working as a CFI and make plenty of coin by combining my two paychecks. Those months will be the most money I'll earn in quite awhile.

Any new-hire going anywhere should know about the negatives of their chosen regional. Any less is just poor pre-flight planning. This negative of PSA is a lemon that can be used to make lemonade. Other regionals have negatives with no solution.
