Default PSA and other regional class dates

Once you interview and do get an offer how long before you are in class ? Can you or is it frowned upon to get an offer and ask for a later class date ?

Thanks

Most often than not, regionals will offer you the next upcoming class date unless it's full. I, myself, have been offered class dates anywhere between 2 weeks and 6 months being the maximum allotted time. I don't think it's frowned upon. People do it all the time. It is best to get in now rather than later due to seniority but you are the only who knows your own schedule.

Thanks for the info, trying to get things in order if I get hired. I have to finish work on my house and rent it before I do anything.

What's the upgrade time at PSA now? APC shows 2007; is that still accurate?

Under 100 to go tell we hit 2012 hires, 2009 hires upgrading at the moment with 24 upgrades planned a month.

Those are 2007/08 hires. They were furloughed. Their actual DOH isn't reflected properly.

Before coming here, my understanding was the company didn't hire in 2009/2010. 2011 hires will start upgrading soon, and possibly 2012 hires by the end of the year.

Don't go to PSA. That is all.
