I honestly don't understand why PSA would want a pilot base in ORD. Do they think that they'll attract MORE pilots if they have an ORD base???
Why would anyone come to PSA in order to get an ORD base when they could just as easily go to Envoy, TSA, GoJet, SkyWest, ExpressJet, or Republic and get an ORD base? Oh, and by the way, most of those other options have quicker upgrade than PSA and ALL of those other options have BETTER PAY than PSA!!!
It seems to me that PSA would be better off to have pilot bases in places where they don't have to COMPETE (as much) for the few remaining pilots. They'd have a much easier time recruiting pilots if they put a base in Daytona Beach than they would if they put a pilot base in Chicago!
