PSA & Eagle flying?
 
Where do they go? Example:

Eagle out of DFW, from what I see, seems to do the "hub out and back" type flying. DFW to PNS to DFW.......DFW to SHV to DFW.

PSA......if based in TYS.....where do you go? According to flightaware, flights run primarily to CLT, DCA, DAY. So, is that all you do or are you in other systems for your 4 day trip, instead of just out and backs to TYS......then back home on a CLT to TYS? Understand the question?

Thanks

Outstation bases have never made any sense to me either.

Seems pretty easy to figure out. Hub isn't in TYS for airways. Therefore you fly to hub and do turns.

CLT is mostly CLT turns

Day and Tys do a lot of PHL and DCA flying

Seems pretty easy to figure out who the tools are too...

WOW.....why didn't I think before asking the question; especially since I already knew the answer??

To the other folks, thanks for the help.

All the eagle bases do turns in and out of the hubs. Also we do a lot of other hubs flying.

When I was in ORD, I had trips going thru MIA, DFW or NYC. Sometimes you have trips that start in your base and don't get back until the last day.

PSA serves around 60-70 cities from CLT, DCA and PHL. The 700s don't fly into DCA or PHL. DAY and CAK are maintenance bases and TYS is nothing more than a crew base mostly feeding into DCA and PHL. With the 900s coming, PSA will probably open a new maintenance base somewhere which could lead to another crew base. DAY and CAK are not large enough to accommodate enough 900s at one time.

Good morning folks. Not to change the subject but have a couple of questions regarding PSA if you don't mind.

1) How many guaranteed days off per month?.
2) Is it a PIC checkride?.
3) Not sure, but assuming there's no training contract, right?.
4) In general and as new hire, how is QOL?.

I am considering going back to regionals and obviously starting to look around. Thank you for the answers.

11 days off guarantee.
Yes you will get a ATP/type. ( I am pretty sure everyone has to do this now)
No training contract
QOL as a new hire SUCKS. scheduling abuses you. But for right now your not on reserve for long. QOL as a line holder is decent.
