How would I destroy the chance of going to American by going to PSA? Is it because I had heard something about PSA flying Envoy's old CRJ700 aircraft? I had had someone tell me there was some friction recently over this.

Unless you live in a PSA base don't bother coming here. If you are a new 121 pilot with no prior time you'll probably upgrade right around when you are eligible with your 1000 hours anyway. So if the upgrade time was the only thing pointing you at PSA you need to rethink your decision.

They dont have any clue as to what they are doing.From the training dept to top management, someone needs to clean house Inn my opinion. Their sop's are just crazy, having the captain verify vspeeds while he is taxiing instead of doing it at the gate,a ridiculous 2 paragraph taxi brief that you have to memorize verbatim, numerous times where the poh says one thing and the fom says something different. Not to mention the 8 to 10 months it takes to get through their training pipeline. They brush if off as growing pains, no,its poor planning on mgmts part.
If you go there,get your time and get out before it implodes.Unless they make a lot of changes to their antiquated way of thinking,it's bound to happen.This industry is changing faster than they can adapt to.
