Just read through a couple pages of this PSA thread and realized that PSA has got some really stupid pilots. No offense.

I applaud your enthusiastic and by all means productive post... What makes you "Gods gift to aviation" that you can call 1,200 pilots "very stupid"? Looking forward to your prompt response jr.

Facts rather than illusions.
Any company letters on all these announcements and aircraft placement or is it just word of mouth with a little lip service.

I just read through your 17 total posts and it immediately became clear you are a moron. No offense.

When I was hired, the company was receiving new -900s. The total delivery number was 30 and all were delivered. During that time AAG announced the transfer of 47 -700s from Envoy. Delivery started last summer. In January, the transfer will be halted and the delivery of the next batch of 24 -900s begins. When delivery of the 24 -900s is complete, AAG will resume the -700 transfer between Envoy and PSA.

Thus far, there have been adjustments to the -700 transfer. There is talk of parking the -200s in the event staffing becomes a larger issue (personally, I believe staffing will become a larger issue.).

I was at Comair for 15 years and stayed until Delta shut us down. The last 2-3 years was a classic example of "word of mouth with a little lip service."

I don't think anyone would deny that staffing will become a larger issue for all regional airlines. And yes, I do think the company is insane for saying they want 1,000 pilots by the end of 2017, and 1500 by the end of 2018. If they truly wanted that, they would make PSA more attractive. It simply isn't going to happen. We'll just have to wait and see what solution they come up with...

thats the great mystery...strange how adamant they are that they won't have any problems...we will see. maybe this spring when they are forced to talk with us again....we will see what they have to offer.

now i take it with the tiniest of grains of salt, bit the Dion said at the town hall that he/they are well aware of the new contracts and ta's out there with our competitors like the new hire pay thats higher than our 3rd year FO pay. He said "i don't think we will have to do that, but if it comes to it, we have to stay competitive" so who the hell knows.

this place is a mystery and extra elusive. like a flying unicorn that craps yummy pancakes covered in diamonds.

actually no its not like that im just losing my mind today.

I hope that the company IS sincere in wanting 1500 more pilots! If they actually want that many pilots, they're going to make this place MUCH more attractive. And they'll have to sweeten the pot for BOTH new hires AND current employees. This crap of allowing the company to offer bonuses to new hires, only, simply cannot happen. ALPA cannot let the company compensate select unionized employees outside of the collective bargaining agreement. I realize that other pilot groups have allowed their company management to get away with that crap, but we should fight with every last breath to keep ALPA from allowing it here.
