I heard the same thing about Gojets, Freedom A listers, and Gulfstream back in the day. Those guys got PIC time and moved on without any problems. I never heard of any issues about the non union SkyWest guys taking a pay freeze and flying 700s for 200 rates back in the day to undercut AWAC and ACA. Don't believe anything you read on this forum, go where you think you will be happiest with the best career potential.

Christ...Destroying my career?? I got the same response from people in this forum when I took a Commutair interview and a RAH interview and an AWAC interview. Is there any place to go that has decent pay (fair), a somewhat positive future that I can look forward to for the next few years??
Im really considering just sticking with my Shuttle class, at least at RAH things can only go up from where they are..guys on this forum make it sound like it cant get any worse there. Plus Ill have a NY base...

Out of the interviews you mentioned above, AWAC would have been by far the best choice, much better than any of the others.

Is a NYC base really being looked at or rumored? I mean I guess it kind of makes some sense, but we all know how regionals love to shuffle the flying around the system.

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.
There are 12 flights a day from LGA to CLT on USAirways mainline alone so commuting to CLT wouldn't be a problem at all. Keep in mind as a PSA pilot, you'll have priority on US mainline metal except mainline pilots. Also, within your same priority boarding group, it's first come first serve based on time of check in, not company seniority....which of course is good for new guy commuters.
Most guys who are getting Charlotte are sitting reserve for 1-2 months so you'll definitely need a crash pad briefly at least. Also, keep in mind that there aren't many trips that start late enough on the first day and finish early enough on the last day to be commutable on both ends. You'll likely need a crashpad even when you get a line unless you plan on staying in a hotel, sleeping in the crew room, or in a van down by the river.

The Useful PSA Thread
As you know proper communication is very important in this career field. I recognize you now believe that since PSA has hired you that you are above it all, but please remember a good pilot recognizes his/her weaknesses and uses all available resources to correct deficiencies. I have had to do this myself many times over the years. Based on many of the posts that I have read, I believe you will run into miscommunication issues if you do not take proactive measures now, while your career is still young. You are not obligated to heed any advice, but the issue is very noticeable. I'm not the only one here who has noticed it. The choice is yours to work towards a long and successful career, or you can get defensive.
