You are expected to try to keep getting to base, and once you do, you are put in your original trip. You are not put on a different trip.
Thanks for your help

If you search on here, you will find detailed answers to all of these questions and a lot more. There are detailed explanations of each stage of training.

But, from day 1 to completed with IOE is about 12.5 weeks. It is a standard checkride. Pretty easy.

You can hold any base out of training, or within a month if you are unlucky enough not to get it initially.

No AQP at PSA when I started a few months ago. I came from ASA so can give a good comparison if any one is interested. The callouts from PSA were a bear, especially compared to ASA. I am starting my 6th month, just got CLT and have a good chance of getting a round 2 line. Will find out in a few days. Have a Round 2 line this month in DCA, its better than reserve, but I am working every weekend.

It all depends on what you are accustomed to. At my last job, we had 15 memory items (PSA has 5, and are much easier). Our flows were much more obnoxious, and we didn't have IPTs to learn and practice them before sims. We had to learn it ourselves with a poster.

PSA is much easier than any of that.

With the continued movement, you should be a line holder soon, and if you have your 1000 hours and want to upgrade, you should be able to in under a year.

Can anyone tell me about the Dental Insurance available to PSA pilots? Who provides the coverage?

Thanks.

Someone else might be able to give more details, but the dental and medical are all in one package, so you can't have one without the other. I was planning on getting just the dental as the military retirement covers the medical side, but was disappointed that the two were bundled together.

Thanks. It seems you and I are in similar situations. I won't be starting with PSA for several months, so I am trying to decide whether to buy Dental Insurance now or wait it out until I am eligible for coverage through PSA.

Default Pilot Case

Do you still need to carry that big pilot case on trips or is everything you need on the ipads?
