Yes it is that bad. Go to PSA. You will get paid more to work less. You will fly much newer equipment on much better routes and have schedule flexibility. In the time you have to commute while waiting for your base of choice at PSA, you will still get more time at home then you would living in base at PDT.

Breaking News...

Just had a group of our pilots that flowed in 2019 just get a bill to repay the company almost 900 dollars for the free uniforms we were required to order when AA switched back to M and H from twin hill.

A bill from your employer...... a bill from your former employer almost a year after you successfully separated from the company.......

I'll say that again.. a bill from your employer.. almost a year later.... A bill from your employer!! Almost a year later..

One last time... a bill from your employer... past employer... after a contractual separation...... for sh!tty uniforms...

This is an example of how you will be treated here as a pilot and after you are a pilot here. They will say they respect and love their pilots, but sending letters out to collect money to close out the books for year end, is pathetic. Even if it is a mistake, this is how the behind the scenes personnel treats their people who move the planes... the behind the scenes people are treated poorly as well so everyone just sh!ts on everyone.

Wow, first I've heard that the new uniforms were on us! With all the complaints no one would've accepted them knowing they'd owe almost a grand. Geez.

From the letter, the company loaned us money to buy the new uniforms... those that separated this year did not repay the loan...

Total bs... as the original notification was that the company was providing all active employees with uniforms and were required.

Really a slap in the face to pilots who did their job.

And in a couple days you’ll all get the automated email saying “Merry Christmas! Thanks for all that you do!”. All the while management is at home and doesn’t give a hoot about the schedules and QOL of its Pilots and FAs since the operation continues to run and it doesn’t effect their own personal QOL or paychecks. Also, what’s up with the union - it’s been nothing but the sound of crickets.... about those QOL improvements they talked about....yeah....

Simple fact, if you’re looking to go to a regional and you can’t decide between PDT and PSA, it’s a no brainer, GO TO PSA.

This needs to go on the front burner of the grievance committee.

Or the fact that the company offers 3xPRM to their pilots via twitter on a first come first serve basis.
