The current pass rate is 85% and trending higher. If you fail out it is because you are either a moron or you don't study. The experienced guys you talked about above had bad attitudes from what I heard. I have been through three 121 new hire training programs and PSA was not any harder than the other two. I had a former Mesa guy in my class and he said PSA training was a much better program.
Got it, thanks for clearing that up.
All of a sudden, I remember why I left APC.

Uh oh....That's IT!!!! According to the internet sky gods who say mesa's the "bottom of the barrel" you might have just started a downward trend in your stats. That mesa guy will single handedly destroy your pass rates. Besides if it's the guy I'm thinking of he's been getting tossed around in airbuses and 74's and will undoubtedly ruin your rep.
I mean, how could he possibly handle a crj200?*sarcasm implied

So we got an email stating there are 25 "Anticipated Permanent Vacancies" in Phoenix and 26 in Dulles for CRJ FO that "will accommodate 3 NH CRJ classes."
Is that to say, of the last three new-hire classes, half will be assigned PHX and half IAD? Or will people who've been waiting for PHX a few months fill those spots?

It's seniority based bidding. All CRJ FO's have the ability to bid for those slots first.

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.
TOLD YOU SO
