Here's my point; the fact that Mesa continues to outperform PSA in attracting new hire pilots, given the abomination of a contract that they have,....... says something about PSA!
The only tangible differences to the uneducated, outside observer are:
1) Under wing engines. Not going to happen at PSA.
2) Fast upgrades, although that ship has most likely sailed at MESA, despite all their flashy online marketing and their website.
3) Bases. All very commutable. PSA needs to figure this out.
4) iPads. I have no doubt that we'll soon see another FB marketing campaign touting iPads in the cockpit at PSA, and without cost to the pilot no less.
As far as pay, etc, PSA wins those categories hands down. Their health insurance premiums are ENORMOUS as well.
And dare I suggest that they grow a pair and start standing up to Dougie, ...... instead of joining him in his "group-think", circle-jerk sessions.
Well, at the very least we have pilots willing to do that.
When we begin to hear about individual PSA management members leaving PSA to "pursue other interests",..... we'll know it's time for us to bail out as well.
The only ones that really matter will all have jobs back in DFW.
