Lol! Good news just around the corner

 

More 900s and all the 200s to the desert and 1000% pay raises and tuition reimbursement and free food and all hotels are hilton brand and LAX-ORD-DCA-LGA-JFK-DAB-MIA-DFW bases?

@#$T%( WOOOOOO

 

thats it, you sold out cheap.

 

For sure! Keep chasing that imaginary carrot.

Charlottesville base is coming. It's out of the way and completely useless but they are practically giving it to us!

^^^^merger with AWAC, pay increase, and home based, that's the good news !!!,

July seniority list 1182 total pilots

August seniority list 1170 total pilots including the 16 new hires on the list.

That means 28 pilots gone in 1 month, even closer to 1 per day than just 2 months ago. I'm sure the defenders will be here to explain how it's mostly from flow or correcting the list.

Just a reminder: January seniority list 1195 total pilots. Maybe someone can explain how even though PSA has been hiring at least 10 a month since January the list has still decreased by 25 total pilots. Granted I'm sure many of the new hires didn't even finish training. I'm willing to bet many left for another regional that was their first choice. Probably one with better pay, better bases, and a better contract that might actually be followed.

Maybe they should raise the recruitment bonus to 10k. Or maybe they should finally think about improving the conditions here to retain the experienced pilots they have already paid to train.

 

LCCs are hiring like gang busters right now. I know 2 FOs who just got hired in July and a couple more with interviews coming up. Know a few CAs who have class dates coming up too. Lateral moves make zero sense in this hiring environment.

 

I was really planning on being at PSA until I got hired at a major. Line holding captain, and live in base. Not bad.

But now, I am looking to bail asap. I am thinking maybe Spirit at this point. But app is in everywhere.

 

LCCs? Why would anyone go to an LCC when the flow to AA is just 10 short years away? (Sarcasm)
Seriously though, if the pay and contract were fixed I believe it would reduce the number of pilots that left for LCCs, at least for captains. FOs have nothing to lose by moving to an LCC.

I believe a lateral move to another regional still makes sense. PSA shows no signs or intentions to improve anything. Any FO hired in the last year has the opportunity to move a number of different regionals that offer higher pay, more commutable bases and in most cases that FO will upgrade earlier than they would have had they stayed at PSA.
