~3 months until Turd Ricks strikes the match and flows off into the sunset. My gut feeling is he's either in someone's pocket or incompetent. Regardless, his recent absence from operating with fiduciary responsibility is grotesque. Good luck commuting on PSA metal, I'm forecasting low crew o2 if the cowardly Turd ever shows up on my jumpseat.
Ladies and gentlemen, be informed/active in our union, communicate with your reps, the time for a strong leader is long overdue. We need to get it right this time.

Usually growth means times are good. Not here. Just means you’re going to get forced into misery that much faster. And this isn’t unique to bscott. I’ve heard of several FOs making the same switch, and I think they’re making the correct decision if they’ve been here less than 2 years. As long as PSA continues on this current path this problem will most likely accelerate. I think at this point the only people coming here don’t know anyone here and/or don’t know about these forums and aren’t informed on the current PSA work conditions.

And can anyone blame them? If you’re a senior FO with the time to upgrade you are qualified to interview and he hired by an LCC. The alternative is perpetual reserve in a base you don’t want to be in under an antiquated contract with terrible protections for reserve pilots. If you’re going to be on reserve why not do it for more money and a far superior contract?

I have confidence I could get hired outside the flow.
Could be the biggest mistake I ever make. I could be riding the Commutair train for years after my classmates flow. Their is a pathway program or whatever its called for United.
I don't know, these craptastic LOAs being signed in the dark and no end in site to our promised reserve rules... I'm kind of thinking its worth the risk.
Any other street captain bonuses out there ?
