Default Cadet program status

Discussion that’s been going on over at Envoy thread about the status of cadets. Even though Envoy plans to put current pilots on the street, the cadet program is still being funded. Anyone know what’s happening with the PSA cadet program?

1) agree with above

2) put more gently, PSA now needs to grow 50% before hiring new people. In the best case scenario that will be a couple years away.

3) cadet programs are a historical anomaly. Generally regionals who need pilots just post an opening and applications >>> positions. That norm is likely to resume.

Envoy has cadets that are still receiving pay and benefits and when Envoy starts furloughs, those cadets will still have benefits and pay that seniority list pilots don’t. Is that the situation at PSA?

Yep....as of right now. Furloughed pilots will get 12 months of D2R while PSA Cadets will continue to get D2 travel. What a crock of crap

What? Why do you think we get travel benefits at PSA?

PSA sent out an email recently that the PSA Cadet program is going nowhere. They say its a priority to keep it around.

it’s a cheap hedge in case the industry rebounds

And it’s probably fair to say the cadets aren’t going anywhere either

[QUOTE=Macchi30;3137487]What? Why do you think we get travel benefits at PSA?

Why should you continue to get D2 travel privileges under the Cadet program while 723 furloughed pilots get D2R for 12 months? Every cadet should be rethinking their decision to go to PSA if things ever rebound there. They’re the absolute worst in the industry right now. Management has shown their true colors.

Cadets aren’t under the pilot CBA.

They need to axe the program if they are looking for cost savings. No need to have Cadets with flight benefits when we are putting 700 plus pilots on the street. Goes for PDT and Envoy as well well.
