"Or any regional"
Do you work at eagle? I made 23k my first year at eagle. I find it pretty hypocritical when I hear one regional pilot talk down on another regional pilot, as if we all didn't accept a job that paid Us complete crap the first year. Especially when a currently employed regional pilot is telling prospective regional pilots not to do the same thing they did

Just saw this. I would say that most AA pilots aware of the situation of the eagle pilots holding the line, and many aware that PSA didn't. I'm not sure I would characterize it as "anti-PSA", but their vote certainly doesn't impress anyone at APA who understands. The career question is impossible to answer. The pilots don't do the hiring, the company does. I wouldn't say that the current situation exists whereby having PSA on your resume could impact your career negatively, but no one can see the future.

And that is where the lack of information is prevelant. Eagle had how many chances at a deal with US Airways?
At what point did you think that Airways wans't going back with a 6th offer?
I agree that PSA shouldn't have accepted the first offer to them. But Eagle clearly didn't want anything that Airways threw their way.
PSA had voted before and held the line and we got screwed before. Back in 2007 and 2011 we voted for 900's and the airplanes went to Mesa. We were always the pawns. What did PSA get for holding the line in 07 and 11?

Some argue that it doesn't matter and that all we have to do is suck it up for a few years then move on with Flow. FYI in a few years NONE of us will need flow, so why is this becoming managements tool to allow cheaper poverty level wages? Quite frankly I'm ****ed every time I hear we're not cost effective. PSA/Piedmont will always be cheaper, it's just math even with Eagle having a 12/4. Do we have Captain's on step 18? Yes. Did all of them plan on making a career at Eagle? Hell no.
We're all slowly playing into Jerry Glass's and DUI Doug's hand and I'm not arguing with any of my co-workers because I know that's what management wants. They're trying to beat us down, and already from what I'm hearing is there's a group out there trying to go beg for management to come back. All we can do is apply elsewhere and hope that future airline pilots see this mess and not come to the Regional side of the aviation industry.

Looking at PSA's route map on the company site, is there a PHL base? If not, how will commuting from NYC area be to a charlotte base. Will I need to get a crashpad? I have a early November interview and I am excited, however I am trying to avoid having to get a crashpad and commuting, but the future that PSA shows, I would be willing to commute.
