There are between 15 and 17 scheduled to begin the next class. The person relaying those numbers to me wasn't positive on the exact number. Better?

 

There are 10 in the current class.

 

Rumor is due to staffing levels PSA will flow less than 5 a month starting this summer.

 

Can someone who currently works at PSA please help answer some questions:

What is the average line per month? 12, 13 14, etc. days on? Off?

Are they 1, 2, 3 or 4 day trips? Commutable?

What are the junior/senior bases?

What is the current upgrade time?

Is the flow slowing or speeding up to American? How many are projected to go per month?

Rough estimate how long it will take a new hire to get to AA?

Any contract negotiations to increase pay/better work rules, etc?

Are there people from PSA getting hired by AA or will they only let you flow through?

 

Whoa, where did you hear that???

 

All you have to do is read back about 10 pages on this thread and you will have your answers.
Smh.........

 

Yep.Those 15-17 people have more than one job offer I'm sure.Most of them will probably end up somewhere else and not show. ...if they are smart.

 

Happy to help since this forum is full of so much junk.

1. Not 100% sure on avg line days off since I don't hold a line. I'm guessing 13ish. Once you hold a lone though you can trade for any trips that haven't been picked up yet that will let you get more days off if you can get more efficient trips on your schedule. The SAP requires 65hrs credit time minimum so if you just want the minimum, it's pretty common to get 15 days off every month.

2. The trips are 2, 3, and 4 day trips. Commutable ones go senior. On reserve, they're required to release you by 5pm on your last day of a reserve block, so it will be commutable on the end at the very least.

3. Junior bases are DAY and CVG. Senior base is CLT. TYS is somewhere in between.

4. Upgrade time is rapidly increasing so your guess is as good as any. I'd be disappointed if I couldn't upgrade at 2.5-3 years though. It all depends on if they'll be able to continue hiring FO's.

5. Flowing 5/ month. They could hold people here for a couple months but are required to catch up flows by the end of the year. Once we're properly staffed, I imagine they will increase flow to 10+/month which seems in line with the ratio of their other WO flows. As the flow stands, a new hire will take 10-15 years to flow. Don't come here if your goal is to flow. From what I've been told, no one at PSA will get hired at AA outside of the flow.

6. No contract negotiations that I know of. But lots of pilots are asking for better pay/commuter benefits.

Feel free to PM me with any more questions.

 

1 per month till 2017. AA recalls.

 

That sucks. Must have just been announced. Thanks
