It wouldn’t make sense to build Phl when that’s piedmont’s main hub and they opened it wayyyyy before we did.
Looking at the flying PDT does, it seems that 50 seat vs the 2-class a/c aircraft is out of balance. I see us picking up more routes in the long run from PDT while They back fill AA 50 seat flying in other bases on the east coast. I too think PHL will see some growth, but we need those remaining 700s and 900s come online first. This is my speculation.

The 2 class “regional” stuff parks over at the mainline terminals with Republic flying the 175 and mainline flying the 190. I think as we get rid of the 200’s you’ll see us do some 700/900 stuff but never see it getting bigger than ~20 lines (for the foreseeable future).

That info came from people in management who are no longer at PSA.

If they were passing along company information, why would that matter?

Hello all, I posted this question on the Skywest page, and I’ll ask it here as well. I have offers at PSA and Skywest and was wondering what opportunities PSA has for new hires to get involved with an “extra”, training instructor, recruiting, etc? Thanks.

Well if you fail out of initial but aren’t totally awful you may have a shot at teaching IPTs. Or if you’re here long enough/know the right people a job teaching in the sim is possible, being a check airman is possible, being a recruiter is possible, or even being a CP is possible. If you want it bad enough PSA can provide it. Anything is possible. What the chances are of those things happening compared to other regionals I have no idea.

I guess to clarify my question, what is the probability of those things happening as an FO at PSA?

My IPT instructor was a FO. There are are a few us FOs involved in recruitment one way or another. The caveat they list is you’ve had to be on property a year to be “eligible”. I’m sure they’ve waived it before for some positions. Idk how long my IPT instructor was on property when he was teaching.

I've heard this several times, but never actually saw/experienced it... Is this true, and (if so) how can the company justify this?
