Well, highest paying for 4 years anyway. After that it may be one of the worst paying. Congratulations on getting the reach-around though.

There are no hubs or bases in my city: Jacksonville, Fl. So I would have to most likely commute to ATL or CLT to get to work.

If you mean put in writing, they can't, as upgrade time has a lot of variables. Also, do you have any prior 121 time, Fractional, or 135 commuter time? Impossible to upgrade in under a year if you don't.

A one leg commute to CLT on company metal would make life at PSA work pretty well for you. Short time on reserve, as well as a quicker upgrade than most places.

PM if you've got any more questions or want a referral.

Republic is knocking on my door as well. Where is the growth with this company?
