Yeaaaaaaa!!! PSAJOBS!!!!!

Let's not jump to conclusions here everybody. I've heard nothing but great things are on the horizon for the regional airline industry!

Now everybody please direct your attention to this ocean front property...

Some people are oblivious. You might want to try to "think (and look) outside the box."

You don't think it's desperate? OK, do you think Google goes on the engineering forums, posts anonymously, and tells everyone "how wonderful" their company is to work for in an attempt to recruit applicants? Does United post over in the majors forums to tell everyone how great their airline is in an attempt to recruit? FedEx? Delta?

The point is that if PSA was such a great airline to work for, no one would have to come on an aviation internet forum and "tell" us. The pilot community is incredibly small. We'd already know. It's not proactive. It's desperate. It's a "let's do every possible thing we can to convince people to come fly for us EXCEPT pay a living wage and treat our pilots well" type of thing.

And there isn't much difference between what PSA is doing here and what Eagle is doing on FaceBook. They're desperate too.

And now PSA IS ADVERTISING on the Orange Site!!! Just a tad but desperate I'd say...

Three ads!

Why does it matter if it's desperate or not?

This is a free website. If this user gets even one person to come to PSA because of the "psajobs" account that otherwise wouldn't have it is worth it.

This person is just doing their job I don't see the big issue here other than you all having a love affair with blasting everything that is PSA.

I wonder what started the love affair?

Pagey- are you new to the regional world or a cfi? If you had any experience with these characters, you'd be insulted as well. They really think they can fool you newbies into thinking that a wholly owned means there's a flow through. Its the opposite my friend.

No.

Regional recruiters are essentially salesman/women. Especially now with pilots having a legitimate choice as to where they want to go. Saying that PSA has a flow may not be 100% the truth, but it is certainly not at all a lie. When you go to bestbuy to purchase a TV the guy is going to tell you what you want to hear about the TV, the same way a shoe salesman is, or a financial advisor would selling you on a mutual fund. You are all irrationally overreacting simply because it is PSA.

If PSA hadn't taken concessions and were just awarded those acft you people wouldn't say one word about the ZOMG 3 "orange site" postings on the same day or the "PSAJOBS" username.

The fact of the matter is that every regional is somewhat desperate for applicants. Why shouldn't they be? This situation will be a legitimate problem for regionals in the very near future.

Being proactive and trying to scoop up as many qualified applicants as you can is not in any way detestable. It is smart, and forward thinking.

I mentioned this before but there are no threads on here bashing Eagle recruiting for having a facebook page, or mesa for hiring people over the phone, or Silver for offering a 10k signing bonus. Everyone is scrambling. PSA gets a bad rap for just being PSA.

Again, this site is free. If even one pilot decides on PSA because of this website then it would be worth it.

We'll I guess best buy does lie to its customers and lock them in to extra insurance as a way to boost profit. It also smacks of desperation after they demanded concessions
