There is a difference between a recommendation and a referral. One you are vouching for someone, the other you are not. But if asked all it is is someone online who answered questions for you and helped you decide. Nothing wrong with that.

* Submit the completed Employee Referral Form on emp.psaairlines.com

* Inform candidate that they MUST apply online at PSA Airlines | Regional Airline & US Airways Subsidiary within 30 days of the submission of the referral form or the referral is discarded.

* Reminder: Employee Referral Forms must be submitted before the candidate
applies
** Candidate must include PSA Employee’s name on application when asked “Were you referred by anyone that works at PSA?


Ok, thanks for the clarification. Is there any advantage for the applicant as part of the interview process to have a PSA Employee Referral or is it mainly just benefit the current employee?

I asked the same question earlier. There is no advantage. They just assume that the average applicant may not even know about these forums so it's the old school referral system.

If you're gonna allow someone to make $1k off of you, I'd make sure you get something out of it too, like a direct line to them to help you with questions during the hiring/training process since they went through it already, or maybe them sharing their manuals or flash cards etc....that way you get something out of it too...

I am going to refrain, because I do not want to get the reputation like some guys on here as someone that only posts to try to get your $$$.

Required documents include:

Licenses
Medical (First Class)
FCC License
Passport
College Transcripts (especially if using R-ATP)
Military discharge documents
ATP Written Results (If you don't have your ATP yet)

Also, make sure to bring an updated resume. I would suggest bringing a few copies so each person that is interviewing you has one.

You will bring copies of each of these documents and they will keep the copies.

Do they also want a copy of your driving record from the DMV?

Nope. All you have to do is get the DMV driving record form (I believe that's what it was called) notarized to bring with you to the interview.

PSA in Canada?
 
I heard that applications are now asking about DUI's because of new flying to Canada. (Canada has very strict regulations about persons with DUI's)

Could this be flying out of ORD to Canada? Anybody else seen this?

Yes, this could be new flying out of any of the Midwest or east coast US Air Express/American Eagle bases (ORD, PHL, DCA, LGA or even CLT). I can imagine we will definitely be adding dozens of new airports to our route network as we get the 900s and 700s. Hopefully we don't start Canadian flights 'til the summer though....brrrr

I was curious about the work history....and how they go about that. I'm in my early 30s and never had a W2 job, always been an independent contractor and owned my own business, so there won't be any tax records showing "employment", but I do have my own tax records for me and the company. Reason I ask is because in the app, it lists if I've had any gaps in employment and why....but as an independent contractor, sometimes you just do...... - would that be an issue?

As an independent contractor, you are self employed. Just because you are not working an actual gig at the moment doesn't change the fact that you are still running a business. Revenue in your business doesn't necessarily have to come from your gigs. Setup an LLC or Corp for yourself if it makes you feel better.
