So PSA currently flows 10 per month, but the recruiters are advertising 8-9ish years. Obviously they are accounting for attrition and other such stuff.

What I'm more interested in is if there are any numbers of how many and where PSA pilots go if they decide to leave the company? Maybe that the union keeps track of?

Thanks for the help!

We've got someone that keeps good data on the "how many," but not so much the "where they go."

I've met people here who went on to American, Southwest, FedEx, and JetBlue, I'm sure there are still some going over to the ULCCs (Allegiant, Frontier, Spirit). Getting in on the front side of a hiring wave can have a huge impact later on (either financial or QOL) and our recent hires are going to be on the back side of AA's "great retirement" if they wait to flow (given current attrition and flow rate).

Does anyone have any idea why PSA is increasing they're recruiting efforts? I've been in contact with a Captain in recruiting for a couple weeks and they said management has really been pushing them to hire more since March. They opened the RTP to civilian pilots, just got the pay raise with all the people that appear to be on reserve hardly flying and classes appearing to have enough to cover attrition plus staff the transfer aircraft.

Anyone have any type of insight? PSA is in my top three of choices but I really don't think I want to only fly around 20hrs a month as someone new to jets and 121 flying.

My guess is that American has asked (demanded?) PSA to increase the flow rate to about double what it is now. American seems committed to that process in anticipation of their coming retirement wave. The second favorite option is former Military pilots and the services are working harder to retain these guys. American takes very few off-the-street hires and seems to want to keep it that way.

Many of us hope that AAG has something even better than flow up their sleeve for their Whilly Owned regional pilots.

Perhaps there are unreleased growth plans. I thought the plan was to settle firmly at 150 aircraft, but I there was a count published somewhere that put us slightly above that within the next two years (I think it said 154 aircraft, but not sure).

Pulling MESA's flying. Opening DFW base. Oh, and TYS is closing.

Heard it from a tug driver who's wife's cousin's wife/sister's best friend's school teacher who's husband flies for United.

Just out of question, what is the Captain’s Review Board as far as interviews go and how does the process work? How long does it take to hear if you get the job?
