The slow pace of recalls has very little to do with instructors. They could have enough instructors tomorrow to recall classes of 20 plus if they needed. Now the attrition has been very little. As of now it sounds like PSA and USairways does intend to honor the 16 letters in which we had of pilots whom were offered jobs at USairways.... It would seem that would be the reason for the recalls more then anything. The Feb 7th class will be of either 6 or 7 First officers. As to if they go through the whole list or not is to be known shortly. Best of luck to you all..... I look forward to seeing you all that first or second week of training in Dayton....

But unless you hold a line, life is difficult. Very difficult. Don't even think about commuting on reserve you will be in airports 28 days a month. Seriously.
My advice is if there is a closer airline to work for. Work there. If you like your job currently and have time for friends and family then stay there. Only work at PSA if you need a job.
Upgrade will be in excess of 5 years no matter what next pilot shortage there will be.
Of course this is all my opinion and not the opinion of PSA or US Airways blah blah blah....

Sorry I didn't provide more info but really was it that vague? I was previously at PSA and a potential employer has asked for it on their application. Sheesh. it wasn't like I asked for your ATM pin code, just the name of a dept head. Thanks though, I just called and got it from HR, no muss, no fuss.
