But it sounds like you accepted a job at PSA with the assumption you would upgrade as quick as pilots were during the time of your interview. If you ask me, poor career planning on your part, if you ask me. It was no secret two years ago that a pilot shortage was looking.
I assumed I'd upgrade when I was ready. I also assumed PSA management wouldn't be actively trying to scuttle this place. Of course I knew there was a pilot shortage. It's why I joined the industry. It's also why I'm not worried about fixing PSA. I'd like to see them make the correct moves to bring back the growth and movement because it would most likely mean pay has gone up and I wouldn't have to commute. If they don't, I'm not sweating it. I'll just work somewhere else because pilots are needed everywhere.
