Thought they were losing the 200s faster than expected.....

No one wants to become a street ca just to be bumped by several hundreds of fo's once they get their ours to upgrade. You'll be on the bottom of the barrel. Bad idea.

It is amazing how perspectives have changed recently. As a new hire years ago, I was just happy getting on as an FO somewhere that had a reasonable expectation of stability and minimal furlough risk by having a few people behind me. Now, you are arguing that someone should avoid coming to PSA as a captain, with tangible plans of having ~600 pilots behind him. These captains cannot get "bumped" by upgrading FO's unless unlikely furloughs or reductions take place (unless by "bumped" you are referencing change in relative seniority); how is this any more risky than being at the bottom of any list? Is an applicant better off going to a stagnant regional as an FO? |

Sounds like all the guys considering lateral move to PSA have gotten cold feet and decided "it ain't worth it." |

You make it sound like PSA is going to be an attractive place to come work for that 600th guy to get hired and forever be on the bottom of a saturated regional with pathetic flow that trickles to America.
Not at all. My point is it will suck on the bottom of any list. Besides, the argument against the flow is ridiculous considering even if the flow doesn't improve (which it should, at-least slightly), there are carriers with no flow whatsoever. So considering your response, I will extend my question- is it better to be on the bottom of a list as an FO, at a stagnant regional, with no career progression of ANY kind? |

TSA was the first, not PSA.
Somewhat true. However CQFO is slightly different, both in-terms of flying position and pay. |
Yes CQFO is bad very bad. You wanna talk about being schedulings *****...

It is appreciably better for those FOs already on the seniority list. Plus, CQFOs at TSA will hold CA positions by winter.

The experience as CA gave me enough PIC to move on to a major.... I would have never made it to the major without that PIC time. I paid my dues.

My guess is Envoy will be next to hire street Captains. There is going to be massive upgrades going on there. According to one of the threads, they are projecting 230 upgrades by December 31st, 2016 (19 months).
This gave me a good laugh! Comments like this make apc worth the occasional gander! |

Seriously. Are you high?
If you are looking for proof though here is the direct link to the post. http://www.airlinepilotforums.com/re...ml#post1896489 It's a great time to be an Envoy pilot. Good Luck! |
Any gouges out there for the DEC interviews? Curious if they are changing it up much from the FO ones.

Envoy doesn't need street captains. Most FOs here have the hours to upgrade. Unfortunately PSA pilots don't and now running into problems running their airline & can't handle the flying. Considering no flow (only a chance to interview) at PSA it will be a rough time for all those new hires.

I don't know. "Where" "were" the 200's parking? "We're" not parking any at the moment but maybe soon.
Hopefully they park them Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Gouge? Lol. They have no hiring standards. They hire people who literally busted initial 121 checkrides at other carriers the day before.
Can't wait for that to bite them in the ***. This could not be further from the truth. |
Gouges for DEC. Are you serious?
Scary. |

All I was asking was if they were changing it from the FO interviews, as it should be. Perhaps using "gouge" was the wrong word. May I ask why you seemed to have taken offense to that question?
Have you had a look at aviationinterview.com? That is probably the best source of information. |
