Oh well, I can upgrade and have the base of my choice. I probably wont be on reserve long considering a that of folks junior to m are upgrading. Time will tell how the ability to receive critical/premium plays out. In my opinion, the company is being very shady right now.

Hahaha, I JUST said this a couple weeks ago. "How long do you think mgmt will continue to let you guys rape them through the SAP before they put an end to it?" Y'all made your bed, now lay in it

Can someone tell me what SAP is?

Schedule Adjustment Period.

It allows you to drop trips and/or pick trips up. Lets say you start with close to 100 hours on a particular line, it allows you to drop a trip or two down to the minimum of 65 hours, and then pick trips up again at additional pay.

It is still officially 8 sessions then a PC and LOFT (this hasn't changed for several years). They give a "warm up" session prior to session 1 but it is not required. They will give extra sessions if needed but the amount of extra sessions depends on the student and needs approval from management. They will typically give at least 2 extra sessions if needed.

It is a great scheduling program combined with amazing critical pay rules. Unfortunately, AAG already has their sights set on eliminating this. Judging by the speed in which PSA gladly bent over last time, I'd say it won't cost AAG much to "fix" the glitch.

Rift or wrong there is a lot of negativity towards PSA so without a quick upgrade people will be less likey to go there i would think

There are also about 100 pilots who have the seniority to hold captain and are either bypassing or do not have enough 121 time. Because of this the extremely short upgrade time PSA is experiencing is artificially low and misleading. By the time anyone hired now completes training chances are most of these pilots will have the time and that upgrade time will go up.

Does anyone know if PSA will waive the 1000 hours of 121 time if a pilot has mil PIC time? Have there been any examples/experiences of this?

The Useful PSA Thread
 
Per the new ATP reg 500 hours of mil AC time counts towards the 1,000 121 SIC requirement.


All times are GMT -8. The time now is 02:31 AM.
