Upgrade at PSA is 5 plus years.
Just to get off reserve is 2 years.
PSA has the worst reserve policy in the industry. Maybe except for colgan. Mesa is better.
CLT/TYS/DAY bases.
I guess CLT is the most senior. Commuting blows all around. I did it for 5 years and really glad i don't now. We do 5 straight days of reserve sometimes 6. You start day 1 at 5am and finish last day at 9 or 10. So if you want to commute you will spend very little time at home.
DOn't know why they always start us at 5am on day one but something about keeping morale low.
We have a couple of good overnights. But if you are on reserve plan on spending 50% of your overnights in CAK. People don't call in sick for DAB or MLB.
My .02 is that if you live near a city that has a base for a regional airline i would choose that one.
