Outstation bases have early shows and end late. Charlotte is commuter friendly, the MIA base will be too.

Lol we are not getting a MIA base. Is that the kool aide they are serving now at the interviews?

Can anyone give me an idea of how commutable schedules are for new hires and which bases new hires are going to?
Looking to commute from ATL, but if QOL for a new hire is considerably better in base, we'd consider relocating to CLT or TYS.
Thanks for any info.

Apply to ExpressJet or Skywest, SKW base IAH and express base ATL. Both very easy commutes and respected more so than PSA. Also check into Air Wisconsin.

PSA doesn't appear to have a problem filling classes. Apparently, they have contract instruction (flight safety, etc.) set up to handle any training backlogs, "IF NEEDED". Apparently, new hires go to ABC city to get trained....upgrades go to XYZ city to get trained. Just some FYI, good luck....http://www.airlinepilotforums.com/im...cons/icon7.gif

And where are these interview candidates getting their info?????? Company recruiters????? What do you think they are gonna say?? "This place sucks and you will likely never upgrade here or at any other regional cut to the fact that none can full their classes"? Or do you think they might tell you everything is A ok? Think about it, they are trying to sell you on the job. 9E is currently telling people that upgrade will be 2-3 years and that they are working on a flow to delta giving these gullible "candidates" false hope. I wouldn't believe anything you hear at any regional interview today.

As a new hire you won't have a commutable schedule. Even if you are CLT based. TYS seems to have the worst schedule for commuting. I've never been DAY based so I can't speak for their schedules.

Aren't all newbies put at CLT after training? How long does it take to get the requested domicile? And what are the chances of keeping it?

No.

Probably before training is done, if not a month or two after.

Once you have it you cannot be removed unless the base is reduced, or closed by the company(displacement) you can't be bumped out by another pilot.

How long to hear back after you interview with PSA ? What type sim and what is it configured as ? Just starting to get info for upcoming interveiw.

Don't know the answer but I'd say very soon, or maybe even at the interview.

The sim is a desktop PCATD configured as a MD-80.

Thanks for the info, just signed up for gouge on aviation interviews. Hope all goes well going and to try get TYS as a base.
