Plenty postings for crashpads in the crew rooms. You'll have time during training to find a suitable place. Suggest renting a car on a weekend with some classmates and look around. Also once you have your alpa number, you can log onto PSA forum and guys will help you with some contacts. Find out your base first, and where you want to be based. CLT is a little more senior but you should be able to get CLT within months if things pick up.

Good luck on the interview. No news is good news at PSA! LoL
Still hiring 6-8 and upgrading 6-8 a month.
A little bit of micromanaging going on such as what time we should take hotel vans, new fuel carrying procedures, whatever company can do to save a dime.
FAs got an okay contract, hopefully pilots will too before end of the year but that's being a little optimistic.

I hear that the company is only allowing one person per class to go to mainline. This is a bunch of crap. The company is inhibiting the careers of our pilots. You would think they would want people to leave to keep the labor costs down. A 9 year captain costs them more than a 4 year captain.

P.S. I've heard the same thing as well.

. The question is, which corporate is driving this. The double "training cost" argument is alive and well. While our contract negotiations has plenty of attention, maybe a flow agreement should be a high priority too. On a different note, my spreadsheet, assuming guarantee only, (CA-6) shows 10 years to make up dollar-per-dollar with mainline (over guarantee, 401k, etc not included). So quality of life with schedules vs commuting (likely) and low pay is an issue even if we could flow (all assuming no merger). Many options will likely present themselves over the next two years !! Thoughts?
