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

Not everyone is looking to go to American... I'm at PSA because I'm forced to commute no matter where I work, and CLT is as easy as it's going to get for me. So whether or not the upgrade is 6 months, or 4 years, this is where I am. All regionals suck. I don't know of any of my friends at other regionals who haven't had the same issues (and many worse ones). PSA has had growing pains. But what do you expect for an airline that has doubled in size in less than a year? The point is to get in, get your time, and get out. Not make it a nice place to stay. The sooner you leave the regionals, the sooner you can make some meaningful money and the sooner you can start socking away for your retirement. The sooner the better (compounding interest yada yada)... It is what it is. A regional that offers a very quick upgrade. The factors that make that possible can equal out to some negatives as well. And besides, with the way the hiring is going to be over the next 5 years, no one should wait around for American to come calling. There will be opportunities to go elsewhere for many and many of the people currently on property will be gone before their number is called.

Just saying, they don't tell new hires this information, all they say is how fast you'll be a Captain. By the way last couple of upgrade classes have had a 50% pass rate...This company is a joke, its run by a bunch of inbred ****s from ohio, moral is at an all time low right now...

I guess I could go out and spend months and lots of money getting my CFI and CFI multi just so I can get the 18 or so more hours of multi I'll need. And then I'll have to find a school to instruct at that teaches multi. Either that or just rent a twin and split some safety pilot time.

Sure you can, but only one can log cross country time. There are several flight schools that will allow you to do this pretty quickly if that is what you want. There are thousands of pilots that do this every year, and the FAA doesn't have a problem with it.
