PSA in DFW April 30th
Anyone know if they will be hiring or just interviewing?
FYI, I'm not a recruiter as previously suggested, but a potential applicant if their growth continues. |
Are you really that eager to work for the sell outs of the industry?

FYI, I'm not a recruiter as previously suggested, but a potential applicant if their growth continues. QX is a good example. Two years ago, speaking of applying QX on here was like having leprosy. Now I have over 100 people below me, and hiring is still increasing. Pay, choice of base, work rules/quality of life. These are the things that will be there whether there's movement or not. Choose accordingly. |
I don't know how to answer that. Here is what I keep thinking about.
Time on reserve, pay, growth, upgrades, etc: Eagle - Years to just get off reserve ExpressJet - Years to get off reserve Mesa - Lower pay than PSA SkyWest - Years to get off reserve Republic - Too much unknown, very messy IMHO PSA has a ten year contract. They are taking additional aircraft deliveries. Their classes are full. They are just far away from home or I would have already committed to interview. Since they are coming here, guess I'll go and see for myself why you would ask that. |

I'm sorry I feel like I'm missing something here........ When exactly did they make an official announcement of DFW for Apr 30th? And what does the title of this thread have to do with the topic of discussion?
On another note, if your waiting to see if growth continues just know that every month that's another 40-50 people senior to you which in the long run could end up being an extra year sitting as FO. That's pretty much the case with every regional not just PSA. Make a decision and run with it. Good luck |
Thanks for the reply. But, there are 3184 pilots at skywest, that's a turboprop not a jet, that pay is lower than psa pay, skywest doesn't have a union and a ten year contract. All due respect, sounds like apples to oranges.

As for the topic, curious if they are "interviewing" and offering classes or offering future interview dates when you go. Hard to pass on a LOCAL interview if class dates will be offered. |

Pretty sure their new contract says yr 1-2 pay is the same on bro and crj. No one is too good to fly a turboprop, they're more fun than jets!

So, back to the original question. Does anyone know if this is an interview for a class date?

PSA pay is higher, on what planet? SkyWest has multiple long term contracts with multiple major partners. Guess all your sham posts mean recruiting isn't going all that well for ya at PSA? |
Sooooo you do or do not have the specific answer my very simple question? :confused:

PSA FOs top out at $41/hour and Skywest FOs top out at $49/hour. PSA Captains top out at $99/hour and Skywest captains top out at $115/hour. It took me 15 seconds of looking around this website to figure that out so I'm not sure why you'd post a blatant lie. There are negative things about Skywest but the pay is most definitely not one of them. The pay scale is very good for a regional.

You don't 'need' jet time. You just think you're too cool to fly a turboprop. |

That's just simply untrue. Year 2 turboprop pay at Skywest is $37.15/hour which is more than the $34/hour APC lists 2nd year PSA jet pay at.

What exactly do you need "jet" time for that "turbine" time won't cover? Plenty of Brasilia captains I've flown with have gone to the majors and Brasilia FOs have gone to LCCs. There are a bunch of current Brasilia captains with United class dates. My Brasilia IOE instructor is now at United. My sim partner for my last time through recurrent is now at US Airways. One person left my Brasilia -> RJ transition class mid-class to take a class date with JetBlue before ever having flown the RJ. You don't 'need' jet time. You just think you're too cool to fly a turboprop. BTW i think he is using "fojared" recruiting strategy. |

From someone with about equal time in props and jets, I've never understood that "turboprops are more fun than jets" sentiment. It's simply not true. I'm glad I flew them (for maybe 7000 hours), but I don't wish to return to them. Sorry.

I'd say as an airplane I enjoy flying the jet more, but I do miss the overnights and the crews from the truboprop some days. |

Well I can tell by your plethora of post that you are not an airline pilot...If you were then you wouldn't have post anything you already have. I tell you what, you want to go to work for a bottom feeder like PSA, go for it! You will continue the saying that pilots are their own worst enemies, congratulations. If you really want PIC time and TRUST me Delta, United, Fedex, American, blah, blah, blah...DO NOT care if it's in a Beach 1900 or a "Jet" as you call an RJ. Just go be a street captain at Great Lakes. Honest. It's a good job and you won't be looked at as a bottom feeder trying to get an upgrade on a cool "Jet." Good luck with your aviation career, I hope I never have you on my jumpseat, let alone my right seat. |

Has anyone actually seen fozjared in person? I'd figure since his nipple sensitivity has been exposed, he would go into hiding to protect himself from the purple nurples headed his way.

PSA in DFW April 30th
I gag when I see someone wanting to work under that 10yr contract. That contract shouldn't have been signed for 1yr.
|
I think they are interviewing May 1,15,17. I'm guessing it will be in Charlotte.

To answer the original question:
I don't know for sure but I'm just assuming if PSA is sending resources all the way out to DFW they will not waste their time. They will be interviewing and offering class dates. Doesn't seem like they'd waste their recruiting time and resources just to go there for no reason when every regional is having a hard time recruit. |

Dang those were the days. It's a shame what it has come to...

Ugh. SJS. Strong work...you'll fit right in at PSA. |

Rather than coming on here constantly ranting about PSA just apply, if you haven't already, if they want you they will call. From there if you have questions as to the interview dates or otherwise you can just call or email them rather than coming here acting like a know it all and obnoxious.

Seriously man, this guy is the APC version of FI's infamous GeneralLee. Either a recruiter, a Dbag, or both. Surprised the MODS let him get away with it.
