That, and how many go to Delta, United, FedEx, UPS, JetBlue, Spirit, VA, Frontier, Atlas, etc.

I would assume much more attrition that just the required hiring via the LOA.

You assumed wrong, the only captains leaving are going to American. Maybe a coupe in the last 12 months have left for United, but that's it. FOs aren't leaving either. Very little attrition going on at PSA. FOs that have been here under a year and bail don't count.

Does anyone here know if it is after ioe that we go on cass or who to really contact?

thanks

The Code is US followed by the 6 numbers on the front of your
US Airways Express Badge except when jumpseating on PSA then its
JS followed by the same number.I checked mine about midpoint
during IOE with the gate agent.Thats the best way since nobody seems to know...Hope that helps

If anybody has any questions about training or flying for PSA you can contact Joe at 859-466-7226. He helped me and was very knowledgeable about the process.

Current class is 30 people. 10 from 121, 5 CFI's, 3 military, the rest from corporate/135 flying. VP & president say hiring should continue at current pace through end of 2016. Everyone are extremely nice here
