We can't even staff the 200's we have, so there is a 0% chance of getting the 900's any time soon. Good news is that there is a lot of movement. Lots of upgrades and lots of PSA Captains moving on to bigger and better things. Hotels are getting better. life is improving because of the current MEC. Before you come to PSA just make sure you can walk and chew gum at the same time. The biggest complaint i hear from Captains is that the new F/O's seem to know everything. A lot of us have a background of flight instructing, 135 and other airlines jobs before coming here. Many with over 10,000hrs. You can learn a lot from them. Come with an open mind and come prepared to learn every day you are on the line. If you don't you might be finding yourself fighting for your job.
Thanks for the info. March and April are going to be the slowest 2 months of my life, May can't come soon enough.
