Aviationinterviews.com it’s a great resource for getting up-to-date information on the flow of the interview and some of what can be asked. As far as actual interview prep though, there are companies that offer that. Some are much better than others in my personal experience. Hiring will be extremely competitive, even at the regionals for the for seeable future. Prepare as best as you can afford to.

 

Should be on point

 

Just wanna get your advice, PSA is still gonna be sold to skywest, right?

 

Oh boy... Here we go again... Lol

 

pennies on the dollar

 

Its possible. Or they could be sold to a holding company comprised of investors. Or stay a WO. I don’t have a crystal ball.

What I do have are numbers and industry precedence. And there is a reason our management and ALPA are clamoring to make us more cost-effective. I’m not the only one who thinks this is a possibility. I’m likely just the most vocal. You may be surprised to learn how many people who are much more in the know than I am share my view.

 

My money is on the possibility of AA giving us A220s and cutting our pay to fly them. You can trust me because I'm "in the know".

 

Lol with as many predictions as you make I'm honestly and truly stunned you haven't been right yet, I feel like statistically you really should've been by now.

 

When are these street hires supposed to hit training?

 

Which predictions have I made that have been incorrect? The airlines have received 3 rounds of support from the federal government. The government bought stability with taxpayer money. But it will end. And when it does, there will be 2 major challenges facing all 3 legacy airlines which are now incredibly leveraged... 1) Business travel. 2) International travel. We have not yet begun to see any real industry shakeup. But it’s coming.

My guess is that we’ll see more demand for business travel in 2022. And international likely won’t be “wide open” in the way we saw in 2019, until 2024. So the challenge is going to be revenue until then. There’s only so many pieces of the domestic leisure pie.

PSA has been offered increased block hour opportunities but have thus far been unable unable to respond to those opportunities... For reasons I won’t go into on a public forum.

And hiring? They’re gambling on something. I won’t say what, but it’s a gamble. Hopefully for all of us it pays off.

As for AAG, go read the most recent 10K. They are absurdly leveraged. And they are doing things that can be said to be positioning themselves for a Ch11 filing... Namely, paying down their government loans to reduce restrictions and creating a large cash position. Bankruptcy is a business and it costs a lot of money. Not to mention the cash floors certain creditors have imposed as part of their contracts with AAG.

I’m not worried in the least bit. We have no control. But to act like everything is peachy keen is strange to me. Things haven’t begun to change yet and everyone acts like we’ve turned the corner. With the virus? Perhaps. With the legacy segment of the industry? I don’t think so.
