Let me help you out. Youre wrong here. You will move on. Life will get better. Not sure what regional you work for. So, you will fly with guys from eagle, psa, pinnacle, XJT, Skywest..etc. they will become the friends you keep at your new job. Working for a regional and the problems associated will be a memory. You will have new problems and issues. Keep perspective. You will always have something to be mad about. It's just not worth the time.

LOL, save your prayers for yourself. I'm perfectly content with my job and career choice, it just annoys me how pieces of trash like the pilots of PSA have degraded the industry. You're welcome to justify it however lets you sleep at night. The bottom line is your pilot group screwed over a lot of pilots, myself included, for your own personal short-term gain. Good luck with getting that increased flow and better work rules...
Good luck. If you ever bring up PSA when you make it to a major (IF you make it) you are only putting a target on your own back.

No doubt... But I don't think its worth going into crushing debt for. My plan is to finish my associate degree this year (3 classes left) then do my bachelors online once I am making a little bit more money. In the next 5 years I think most legacy and LLC's will be forced to drop the requirement for a degree altogether.

Totally untrue. I jumpseat quite a bit and I can't tell you how many pilots don't even know the names of any of the regionals. You work for who? "You look like an Airways guy...etc. etc." Being a $@#! Trumpet at a major about which regional someone worked for would only be a target for said trumpeteer. Stupid is as stupid does though...play on.

You guys didn't get it... Bringing up where you used to work is just being "that guy". "At PSA we did this", "at Envoy we did that." Not as in being a PSA guy will do anything. Of course if you bring your hatred of other regional guys to the majors people just roll their eyes.

Hey man, I'm sick of seeing all this bashing PSA stuff. The seniority list is over 1000 and growing, and the number of pilots who had a vote on the contract years ago now is more than half of that number. My point is, almost 2 out of 3 PSA pilots now did not even vote- do you blame a young guy like myself for looking out for whatever is best for his career ? here's some career advice ...
Step 1- get a college degree
Step 2- get 1000 hours pic time
Then your all set!

Is there a definitive policy or practice regarding whether or not AA will hire PSA pilots that apply 'off the street' vs only accepting through the flow?
PSA is a top choice for me when I apply to the regionals in the fall as I wish to live in CLT, however AA is my longterm goal.
Is this a realistic concern?
Thanks.
