If you have no positive imput than maybe you should go troll other threads.
Dude you're asking should I go to the pizza joint with three stars (PSA) or the 1.5 star place (TSA) and considering them as equal. So either you need to read more on here- APC forums, or you're trolling.
Yeah the flow at PSA is probably going to be 8 years, but you'll not be flying broken planes around for a company with no long term outlook. Hulas is 68 years old... Read the history of TSA, see what he did with GoJet and you'll understand how the man thinks. If you really want the fastest track to AA you'll go to Piedmont. Right now the average civilian TT at the majors is around 8000 so you may as well pick somewhere you'd be comfortable working until you get there or to a new lower time as the majors hire guys with less hours. Yes there are civilians that get picked up with 2500 TT but the key here is AVERAGE.
If you want QOL while you wait for a call from a legacy you'll go to SkyWest. A regional that has never furloughed a pilot.
Living in base is a huge QOL boost so I guess if you lived in base and flew for Mesa it would be better than commuting to Mesa, but at the end of the day you'd still work for Mesa.
