Do they know what "stale data" is?
Don't come to PSA for the quick upgrade. It's gone.
Don't come to PSA because you can get your choice of bases right out of training. You won't.
Don't come to PSA for the "flow" to American. It'll be 20 years.
Don't come to PSA for "quality of life", based on our Schedule Adjustment Period ("S.A.P."). It doesn't work.
While SAP has its limitations, if you know how to work around them you can get what you want. I'm bidding about 40% in my current seat and base and managed to get my number 1 choice of line, and after SAP I've got 18 days off next month. And yes, I had multiple denials before I got there.
But you're correct in that new hires won't see that for a while, whereas I've always been round 1 since I got hired.
