IOE shouldn't take too long to schedule either since we're pretty beefy on check airmen and not many (student) pilots in the pipeline.

My question to you is why? Why are you looking to come and sit for a year or more on reserve, at one of the lowest paying regionals in the country, which is currently deferring aircraft deliveries and will stagnate due to stubborn management who can't seem to figure out what it's REALLY gonna take to get pilots to follow you in the door. As late as 6 months ago, the future at PSA looked bright! But management has squandered the goodwill and good fortune that they inherited.

As others have opined, it would make sense for someone to come to PSA if you lived in one of their bases. But you're talking about selling your house and RELOCATING!...... for $24,000/year, for months-on-end of hot reserve, followed by up to a year or more of long-call reserve, with the hopes of some day getting a crappy round-two line?!??!??! And if you're thinking that PSA still offers a quick upgrade,....... well that ship has sailed. So far this year, these have been the upgrade numbers - January: 30, February: 6, March: 4, April: ZERO! May: So far,.....Zero! See the trend?

Think long and hard before you put your house up for sale and start driving to Dayton, Ohio.
