If I had to guess I'd say Dunkin has hit the nail on the head. We could know next week apparently.

 

"Positively", as in "gooder".

 

That's not really positive for envoy. It just means they get to keep what they have while PSA grows.

How did PSA get the 900s placed there again?

 

I may be wrong here, but, since the "hiring boom" began at PSA, has anyone actually gotten a line yet or are they still waiting for IOE?

Based on them hiring 60+ pilots a month, will it not come to the point where they'll have too many pilots for the rate of aircraft coming in, or is attrition taking care of that on its own?

 

How did envoy get their 175s

 

According to management, they feel that the more pilots that they have, the more airplanes they will get. It seems that the greatest resource any airline can have right now is a good stock of pilots and a training department that is pumping them through continuously. PSA is doing well in this regards - with the obvious exception of the delay in IOE's. 65-70 New hires a month and 24-28 upgrades a month all being pumped through Dayton - and pretty efficiently.

They also expect attrition to really pick up soon. Half of the new hires are prior 121, and the majority of them will be applying to the majors/lcc's, of they haven't already.

So, it is likely a combination of both. PSA may be occasionally overstaffed, but it won't last long. There are 3 airplanes arriving on property almost every month from here out, so there will certainly be more lines.

 

Management has said openly that they can take the new airplanes (700/900) as fast as they can staff them.

 

Several of my classmates from my Sept new hire class have round 2 lines for Febuary around 90 credit hours, and I dont believe they have started IOE yet.

 

Announcement is probably our new crew base.

 

When is the announcement suppose to happen?
