Does anyone have any insight on training times at PSA? Last I heard was that people were waiting over 4 months to go from ground school to the sim.
The delay is over since we reduced class size. 5.5 weeks indoc, 2 for sims and 2 for Ioe. I'd say 3 months total training footprint. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Why would we want to leave clt until we know how many lines cvg will have and what reserve call out will be. We barely got any information other than its initial size. Thats a failure on their part for not communicating with us again. Maybe I should check the Facebook page it's probably all on there.

The only thing that would make sense is if someone lived around CVG and wanted to have a base at home, but those people were already at DAY because it's still pretty close to home. So of course that was going to be the base that took the hit, and of course there would have to be displacements to fill it.
This really shouldn't have been a surprise. What did they expect when they have a bunch of ex-Comair guys who live in CVG (and who probably came here because of the DAY base)?

Maybe he wanted the union to break the CBA to allow DEC to fill DAY and the union said..... "Ummm NO".

The purpose of the email was to pout, because management including himself failed to think things through.
There y'all go using all that sense and logic. You know those have no place in Dayton. |
Does anyone think that PSA is now saturated beyond the short reserve time and quick upgrade? With all the hiring and training back up from an outside perspective it could be easy to assume that...

Spring hire, holding build-up line in Day, reserve in Clt. Things have slowed and I'm not surprised. Why would anyone come here when you can go to another regional for more pay, better bases and better contract. Psa claims the "quick" upgrade will get people here in droves; they need to change their thinking. Pay and quality of life are huge. More planes and flow is not the main attraction anymore.

Interviewing has began again in earnest... I'm hearing groups of 8-12 /day. The company projects needing 1,000 through the next 2 years and there are still dozens of aircraft slated for delivery and more 900 options not yet exercised. There have obviously been some growing pains but the training backlog has decreased considerably and there is now more infrastructure and personnel in place to handle a large influx of new hires. With very few FOs having been hired in the past few months, there has been a little stagnation. But nothing to worry about. Been here a year and I'm very close to round 1 in CLT as an FO and I've been holding a round 2 line for the past 2 months. Crediting over 85 hours next month. Once the hiring begins again in full swing movement will come quick. Still lots of upgrade potential here with all the aircraft deliveries and the continuous movement off the top of our list from our flow of 5 /month. Not to mention, we have just started seeing the tip of the iceberg of this mainline hiring wave. Over half of my class has either left for greener pastures (Delta, Jet Blue, Allegiant, etc) or upgraded and that trend is only going to accelerate and continue. The relatively quick upgrade will continue for a while for those just coming in with 1500 hours. This place has its share of problems, but I still think it's one of the better places to work at for a new guy just getting into 121. I'm sure the company will start offering a bonus if it begins having a hard time attracting applicants.
