Ohio State and PSA's agreement
 

I have not seen this posted yet so I wanted to pass it along.

The Ohio State University and PSA Airlines to Sign Pilot Training Bridge Program Agreement | Ohio State University Center for Aviation Studies

looks like PSA will give preferential interviews to graduates of the aviation program. Not a new thought process however it does show that some airlines are in fact concerned with getting pilots.

That's awesome!!! Congrats, first one OSU has ever done and well overdue! Really glad to hear it.

Unless you live in or near one of our bases, I would take your degree to a "better" regional. Check out the various PSA threads to see what I am talking about.

This may be helpful to OSU seniors, but I wouldn't use it (or any other bride program) as a basis for selecting a college.

These programs come and go notoriously and are not to be relied upon.

Even if the minimums are lowered for a graduate of a University Aviation Program - how will PSA help these graduates get those required minimum flight hours after completing the basic training?

Read the article. It says participants must work a minimum of 2 semesters as a flight instructor for the university. I'm sure it would take a little more than 2 to get the required hours.

I graduated from OSU 2 years ago and knowing the workings of the aviation department, it would those CFIs a little longer than 2 yrs to get to ATP mins

Too bad you can't just write a check for the ATP. That would make things easy.

Pinnacle had a bridge with western michigan, no interview, straight class date.

But...but after those two years you could be a real airline pilot!! Hehe
