To answer your question, based purely off of APC information, they have about 15 pilots per plane. I heard post part 117 the average staffing is 13 pilots per plane at a regional

Guys who were interviewing on October 15th were getting December 8th as the earliest class date possible. All class dates before that were filled to capacity. Not sure of any newer information.

Interviewed with PDT yesterday... There was a guy there who recently went through training at PSA and left during the middle of it. He said that the psa rate was only 25 to 35% and that the training department is an absolute mess. Is this true and can anyone perhaps elaborate a litte bit?

The training department is jammed up at the moment. Another sim is on-line in CLT and the wait time for sim training is coming down. Most, if not all, the 18 August class is done or in sim training now. I am waiting for -700/-900 differences sim now.

He didn't seem like the type to wash out. He was pretty sharp. He just said that his class had a high failure rate due to no fault of their own. According to him, the instructors taught them "their way". And the examiners wanted to see everything done by the book. And there has been a high turnover rate of DOTs and instructors there hasn't there? I'm interviewing on Thursday and I'm just hoping to shed some more light on this rumor.

This month, they are taking a third -900. The initial delivery rate was two per month, then going to three per month at an unspecified time. I guess now is the time. After the last of the 30 -900s are delivered, the transfer of the -700s from Envoy begins.

If they're that Junior then that means that they had 121 experience before they got here. There are two former Endeavor, and one former Envoy guys in my class, each with several thousand hours in the airplane. Are they unsafe?
That said, that 8 month figure has not been shared with guys actually in the building, but my class is not at the point where we can see this information online.
