PSA is not having trouble filling classes and finding applicants. The staffing issues, if anything are a result of poor planning related to 117.

70 in two months. Then only classes of ~7 the other four months?

Seems like kind of fishy accounting but maybe just smaller class sizes?

Yes, around 70 total combined for January and February. About 40, give or take were hired from August to December.

Won't be long until we see the truth come out about Mesa as well... they are all trying to tell us classes are full, people are flocking to work here... Truth is, its all a crock of $h!t...

No it's not. But the time will come when Mesa can not fill the classes, and I think that time will be soon. I think the Mesa MEC should put out a press release asking for no one to apply to fly here until an appropriate contract is produced.

Your first two points are a possibility. You wont get furloughed though, PSA is one of only two airlines growing right now

PSA has not grown one airplane yet. You have a promise to maybe grow.

Where are the open domiciles? And how often can you expect to be moved?

Just to clarify I am NOT a PSA pilot.

If they are having staffing issues related to filling classes, then why don't the idiots stop rejecting applicants for stupid reasons:
1. rejecting applicants with DUI"s
2. rejecting those with minor PRIA issues.
