Despite what everyone says about PSA being a bottom feeder if you can live with the pay caps(which a new hire right now at PSA will probably never see) our contract is at worst middle of the road. I absolutely cannot overstate how awesome a QoL and money making tool our SAP is. No one in the regionals has anything like it with the supporting language we have......No one.

It was unfortunate that PSA voted in a concessionary deal(on only a couple items) at the time we did but that does not make PSA a bad place to work. No one bad mouths you, no one gives you dirty looks, and most certainly no one talks to your face like they do on this forum. There are of course some days that I don't like working but that's life at a regional, even at god's gift to regionals skywest and compass.

Don't make a career decision based on what some disgruntled blowhard tells you on this forum. Sift through the FACTS and the FACTS only and make the decision that you believe will benefit you the most.

Good Luck.
He is just trying to get new hires to come to PSA so he can upgrade. Any new hire after the concessionary contract was signed will not jumpseat on my plane.. period. Same goes for a lot of guys. By signing up for this garbage, you are lowering the bar that many of us are trying to hold or raise. Be warned.

Hey look who's back.....it's the ***king DEVIL HIMSELF!! Still crying about PSA, huh? MMM, MMM, MMM.....maybe you should apply because I know with a track record like yours, the closest you will ever get to a major is on their jumpseat........quite ironic don't ya think?

LOL......"It's the little people, like you, who make it easier for others to stand out and excel."

I am just trying to help someone obtain facts about what it is like at PSA. Our new hire classes have, and continue to be full with a class of 25 starting yesterday. I will upgrade with or without this guy coming to PSA.

Continue to act like a child when you have a significantly greater chance of talking to either a no voter, or someone who wasn't allowed to vote or someone who wasn't even on our list at the time of the vote.

You are really raising the bar with your actions.

I decided to get on my soap box after reading post from some tough internet talkers.

So if a certain regional airline XXX has openings where you and your family live. You have established roots and kids love it there. Living in base gives you the best quality of life for you and your family... you get hired and take the job.

Another scenerio you are out of work with mounting bills, the wife is ****ed and kids need clothes for school and no other regionals call except regional XXX so you take the job.

These are just two very possible situations, it kinda baffles me that someone would deny jumpseat to a fellow pilot from regional XXX because that person made a choice to do what best for him and his family.

So for those of you at regional YYY who deny jumpseat, look down upon others for making a choice thats best for them and their family. Sit back and think about why that person made the choice. Do really think you at regional YYY are that special that the rest of the world should do what you think is best for just you and for others to put their family second ?

The person you look down upon now or deny jumpseat now may be the one interviewing you years later or be your check instructor and make it hell for you.

Do you not think the person you denied jumpseat to and they missed there kids first birthday is going to forget the person who denied him ? Karma will always get you in the end..... step off the high horse and think why that person may have made that choice to go to regional XXX

I'll believe that when it happens.... Also, I didn't know PIC time mattered anymore to move on.... I guess a lot of my buddies and myself included didn't get that memo before being hired...

Well said. I think the majority of professional pilots are cool and understand this. It's tiny tiny people.....losers, really......like RJ Pilot who would deny a jump seat without a "universally accepted iron clad" reason. I think it's funny that he uses the name RJ Pilot on the forum.

SERIOUSLY??......he is a regional pilot with the username of RJ Pilot on a forum.....promoting it like it's a badge of accomplishment?? Just that name alone should tell anyone what a tool this guy is. He probably has a personalized license plate that is similar, a leather jacket, ray bans, big boy stickers all over his leather flight bag and jar of loose change labeled "737 Type Rating Fund" I bet in real life that he is a running joke for a large number of people!!

No, those are typically FlightSafety Sim instructors that call themselves pilots.

Man, reading this thread I don't know if I should thank my lucky stars or be upset that I didn't get the job.
