I like my time off at home too much to be a recruiter.

Apparently most round 1 bidders are trading down to 65hrs, but are not picking up flying after the final award at the current SDO rate of 150%. Hence the company now offering 175%. Due to the company's inability to be proactive and plan accordingly, I will credit 168hrs for March. Lots of opportunity to prosper off their **** poor planning. LOL
I've been working the SAP. But no idea how you can get 168 hrs. Even if you worked 7hrs/day. Or got the JM of 7 hrs. And you worked 20 days in a month that would only be 140hrs. How many days off are you getting? 4?

You could do it with a high speed line coupled with the SAP. Although I heard that mgmt shadily is not allowing high speed lines to participate in the SAP.

Joliet is not a recruiter nor a management stooge and he is certainly not stupid.

I've got a feeling that he is cheerleading PSA because he's a little worried that their contract won't be able to attract enough new hires to fill the seats in their yet-to-be-delivered jets, thus forcing them to park some 200s and delaying his upgrade.

How'd I do, Joliet?

As an FYI... After Monday, there will be 600 pilots on the seniority list.

If I remember correctly the last few years we have been hovering around 450.

I hope they have to make coming to PSA even more desirable. Give us mainline seniority numbers. Eliminate first year FO pay. Do that, and they will have no trouble hiring pilots. Also, the pool is not shrinking. There aren't just as many guys willing to come fly for regional airline pay. They have to make it better, and they will come.

Hahahaha mainline Numbers are not going to happen. You has caved for 4 hires a month after passing interview vs eagle have a minimum of 20 a month and that is just withholding, they should release 50% of every class. What will you give for a mainline number? SAP? 5% more of insurance? What else does PSA pilots have to do for a magical number?

Also remember that APA will be the one that assign the seniority numbers, not management. They would have to agree on that.

Sorry, not going to happen...
