Thanks guys. I checked my spam folder and no joy. I finally responded to the email that I received after submitting my application and a couple of days later got an email stating that I had not been selected for an interview. I called my friend who's been at PSA for over a year and he emailed HR. Today, Valarie Zimmerman emailed me back and said I wasn't selected for an interview because I didn't have 25hrs multi and that once I met all the ATP requirements, I could reapply. Why did she say that if the website allows you to interview as long as you have all the requirements before class starts? I wonder if they've had guys show up to class without the required time or something? I'm pretty bummed. I'm about a month out from having 1500hrs and I wanted to go ahead and get a class date secured. Oh well...
How did you answer this question?
~Which Certificate Type applies to you?~
It had a drop down menu with ATP-1500, ATP-1000, None of the above apply to me, etc.
If you selected ATP-1500 and don't meet the requirements, then your application will be rejected. I did this the first time I applied and I received the rejection email three weeks later. I applied again the next day and selected "None of these apply to me" and marked "Yes" that I will meet the requirements in two months. I received the interview email the next day.
Good Luck

It will be a long term problem to find enough captains even if they get contractual relief to hire street captains. We have approximately 400 active captains now (prob not even that much but just to make it simple) and we will need about 850 active captains two years from now. Lets say attrition will be 200 captains over the next two years that means they need to add 650 captains in the next 24 months or 27 captains per month. The current captain upgrade pass rate has dropped lately so lets use 75% pass rate going forward and they would need to get 36 pilots a month in upgrade training in order to be properly staffed for 150 airplanes in two years. Add the need to continue to hire at least 50 FOs per month over that same time frame and it seems it will be quite the uphill battle for crew planning. If every eligble FO opts to take the upgrade they still will be short qualified pilots by the end of the year or so I have heard from friends in the training department.

I assume you didn't have the ATP before interview? I am well over 1500hrs, but don't have the ATP, so I guess I would select "none of the above apply to me" box. or the ATP-1500. Its confusing, because I took it to mean that you are eligible for the different classes of ATP i.e. 750, 1250, 1500 or whatever..

I had 1300 when I applied but had 20 hours of multi, and I got an interview offer the next morning. One thing is to fly 80-100 hours a month, but another thing is not do that in a multi. At roughly $250/hour, even building 10-15 hours to some is pretty difficult and expensive, so, yeah, in your application, you should have stated what your plan was in regards to building that multi time and when you were planning on finishing it. It shows them that you are aware of their requirement and that you are being proactive about how you're going to achieve those minimums within the time frame.

For the people who are looking to come to PSA, do you understand that you're not eligible to apply to American Airlines?? I don't understand why a new hire would even come here. There are only 3 legacy carriers left and you can't even go to one of them unless you go in seniority order....which will take 20 years....and in those 20 years at PSA you'll have to do about 240 pay claims because PSA tries to short change you on every ******g pay check...this place is such a miserable pos do not come here, you will be sorry I promise
