Yes I'm in the 9/10 class. For me, one of the advantages of PSA is the DAY domicile because it's close to where I'm living now. I realize each airline has its ups and downs, but I think a 6 year upgrade time is a bit exaggerated. APC's PSA page indicates that the most junior CA was hired in July 2003...about 4 years ago. When I interviewed in August, we were told that currently the upgrade time is 4 years, but it's expected to fall soon due to the J4J recalls and attrition. A four year upgrade wait is tolerable for me, and is not too far off from the regional average...and is certainly better than Comair and Eagle's upgrade times. Like any job, it's not for everyone. The main reason I'm going to PSA is for the DAY base, which will keep me close to home. Hopefully, everything will work out...but like anything else, only time will tell
