oh and by the way for anyone who's considering psa just remember one thing. When you get hired at psa, you basically sign your right away to get hired at american airlines, psa pilots only go in seniority!

4 day trips that block 9 hours is not the norm.

Will that always be the case with American? I guess that counts for US Air as well then? Seems if the majors are going to be needing all these pilots over the next several years they would have to change that.

They know that a lot of peeps are having an issue with this and will hopefully address it first week of April. A 5-6 year wait to move up to AA is not that bad if you upgrade at year 2.

its currently 20 plus years for a new hires to go to AA...thats based on 4 people going a month, 48 a year...even if they double it, its about 10-11 years...

flow throughs are a joke, its a way for the company to staff the airline...oh and by the way after waiting all those years, they can still hold you back from flowing until the end of the calendar year...thanks again alpa!

In April it'll hopefully become 10% of the pilot group for any number. You're right about the 10-11 years if you'd go by the 10% alone but there will also be a crap load of attrition happening once the majors start hiring full force over the next 5 years. Imma guess 5-6 years for anyone hired now to move up, and less if you become a sim instructor/ground instructor/check airman @ PSA.

Why would/should PSA be entitled to extra new hire slots?
