They dont have any clue as to what they are doing.From the training dept to top management, someone needs to clean house Inn my opinion. Their sop's are just crazy, having the captain verify vspeeds while he is taxiing instead of doing it at the gate,a ridiculous 2 paragraph taxi brief that you have to memorize verbatim, numerous times where the poh says one thing and the fom says something different. Not to mention the 8 to 10 months it takes to get through their training pipeline. They brush if off as growing pains, no,its poor planning on mgmts part.
If you go there,get your time and get out before it implodes.Unless they make a lot of changes to their antiquated way of thinking,it's bound to happen.This industry is changing faster than they can adapt to.
I have long thought that PSAs hiring of a bunch of old guys from PDT, a tiny little airline that never saw growth or expansion was bizarre. These dudes are all in way over their heads. If you were growing an airline from tiny to pretty damn big like PSA, wouldn't you hire the best guys out there? Not nobodies from PDT?

The management has always been responsible for stiffling PSAs growth, now more than ever.
