If they’re not getting displaced they’re going to have a hard time getting a vacancy even if they are super senior.

Why couldn’t NJ say “airlines have age 65, so do we.”

same reason AA cant go to the FAs and say "pilots have to retire at 65 so do you"

Besides recurrent and transition training I don’t see much training in our future. How many instructors do we have between pilot and FA? What about at our 3 regionals? Pilot and FA recruitment/hiring department? I would bet those are the positions the article addresses.

Can’t speak for the other WOs, but at PSA Sim guys are all seniority list, and are back on the line, with quite a few bidding reserve and using their seniority to avoid flying.

Good luck to them. I swear PSA made it a mission to fly you every available day and if you are in CLT don’t forget sitting hot everyday. This will mostly hit DAY as a lot of the ground instructors are not seniority list pilots.

This bid will generate a massive amount of training. The A320 department projected needing 20 more CKA, but holding off due to budget and the inability to train new CKA due to limited number of people in the sim.

Wonder how many, if any, upgrades there will be as a result of preference. I’m assuming most will be filled by displacement.
