DA40 is you go to PSA you are closing the door to American. If you go to Compass the door to American remains open.

If you go to PSA you will have the best travel benefits out there. If you go to Compass the travel benefits blow by comparison.

Open after what, 9 years of 4 per month? Also plenty of guys are getting hired at American and others without flow. Compass is at least respected among the regionals. Not saying it's right or not, but PSA has a terrible reputation after voting in a concessionary contract.

Go wherever you want and don't worry what a bunch of people on the internet think.

TSO'd headset required at Compass? What are y'all using and recommend for E175?
I think I heard awhile back company does not provide one. Please confirm.
Thanks.

On the active employee's priority, it is often very hard to get anywhere. Most commutes are in the jumpseat for me. A buddy pass would be hard unless it's very flexible. Also, it's near impossible if you need to transit a hub like ATL in the summer.
Buddy passes are also very expensive on Delta now. Florida tickets are routinely cheaper to purchase in advance.
But everybody is entitled to their opinion.

Pretty mixed bag. Telex 850 and 750, Bose both std and uflymic, and DC's are the most common. There are some others, but I don't know what they are called.

It's not hard to non-rev all over the country and internationally with AA mainline flight benefits that you receive at PSA. With the re-banking at all the AA hubs and AA's check in system, it's even easier. The bank system causes more misconnects, which opens up more seats. The check-in system allows even the most junior PSA pilot to potentially get ahead of the most senior AA pilots. Check in right at 24 hours to the exact second before your flight and you're top of the non-rev list. Usually, at least 5-6 non-revs can get on a flight that's full and oversold due to misconnects. Not every flight is full and over sold. But you always have good jumpseat priority if you don't get a seat in the back. I'm always bumping other pilots of the jumpseat due to my wholly-owned status.

No I am saying anyone who goes to PSA today will never get hired at American within the next 10 years. Go to Compass, get the PIC time, and you at least have a shot at being a street hire. PSA employees can NOT apply off the street.
