No growth equals no movement. PSA has upgraded what? 30 FOs this year. Very few of which were the 400ish hired in 2015.

Your valiant attempt at Highlighting my personal poor decision in coming to PSA in no way validates or rectifies the litany of poor decisions this company has made in their effort destroy this companies growth in their desire to save a dollar.

All of the DECs should have known and expected this. The last estimate was there are 150 FOs right now with 1000 SIC time that want to upgrade and are senior to the DECs.

Jumping the seniority list and upgrading out of order will cause this every time.

We did expect to be at the bottom of the list and to be on reserve. We accepted that. However we were mislead. The company was selling all this talk about growth and how even on reserve DECs would still be flying. I was even told I would hold CLT as a captain within 6 months.

Is it my fault for believing the hype? Yes absolutely. So now I am correcting my mistake by leaving.

However it is also the companies fault for misleading people when all they really wanted was as many captains as they could get on property before the flow snapshot was taken.

If anyone is looking for info on PSA, feel free to PM me. I have recent gouges from several people, and can answer other questions.

If you don't have anyone to refer you (and split the retention bonus with you), I will do that as well. I am not just looking for money, but will help you along the way as well.

A July 5, 2016 new hire FO just got awarded CLT. So, for those asking how long it currently takes to hold CLT as a base, it is about a couple months after training (or sooner).

That's good news. Any idea how long before a new hire would be on reserve in CLT before holding a line? Also, is there a link that explains PSA's commuter policy? Thanks for the info.

The commuter policy is basically a reembursement system. You pay for the hotel and send them the receipt and you get a check the next month. PM me if you have any other questions. I just went through training.

The commuter hotels are as described. You pay, submit a receipt, and get paid back. If you only need 1 hotel in a month, stay at the Ritz or somewhere nice and get $250 back. If you need 5 rooms that month, stay at one of the "commuter" hotels that give us deals of ~$50 a night, and get $250 back. Either way, you get $250 a month.

The commuter policy itself is pretty good. You must list on 2 flights that would get you to work on time, and the flights must have space available the day before. If you don't make it on either flight, you just call scheduling and tell them. They may ask you what flights and check, but not always. You just rejoin your trip when you can get to work.

I thought it was a $3000 commuter allowance.
