What gives? Just hoping this means management is scared they won't be able to find the pilots, especially with the whole PSA/Envoy changes recently. Thoughts?
You could construe their reasonings any way you want. Speculating their actions would be the same as shaking the ol' magic 8-ball.
I have a friend who recently declined a class date from PSA because he heard that the training department was overly brutal on their new hires. Does that mean that PSAs training is completely unfair? Probably not, as it's just one sample. You can't just determine facts from someone's opinions.
All anyone can do for the time being is speculate.

I've been off APC for awhile. When I was on here, I was a proponent of PSA because of some friends there. I have friends at several companies as I'm sure many of you do too. But, I was wrong and can't pass up this chance to set the record straight.
Had a friend in one of the April classes and have a friend in PSA ground now. BOTH share the same story that it's bad. Was told most of the year PSA has been running a 50-60 percent pass rate. Bonus they offer is split because many people leave in the first six months.
April friend lost over 50% of 25 for various reasons....each of the experienced listed below had at least an ATP and turbine experience. Most were previous captains or high time pilots from respectable backgrounds.
One experienced to spirit, one experienced to Omni, one experienced to medical, one sent home for not meeting the ATP mins, one experienced quit at start of cockpit procedures trainer, one experienced washed out at the end of cpt, one experienced quit in ground, one experienced quit after a couple of sims, one previous saab captain washed after 2 checkrides, one cfi washed before taking the check, one guy washed back to the next class, one quit while waiting for the check airman to show up to the oral, one experienced guy quit after differences during ioe. Of the ones who made it, multiple highly experienced guys busted orals and checkrides. If you have no experience go to PSA. If you have self respect, go somewhere else.
Don't care where anyone goes, but what I just put down here is FACTUAL INFORMATION that can be verified.
