Best of luck to all!
If you wont tell us where you are going, are you at least staying 121?

Hello,

What are the odds of getting DAY as a base for a new hire? Whats the reserve call out time? I got an email the other day saying 53K for new hires plus 20K per year retention bonus starting year 2. Not bad for a local guy. Is there a training contract still?

I realize most of these questions have already been answered somewhere on here but sometimes the truth changes.

Thanks

All but guaranteed you can get DAY as a new hire.

2 hours.

2 year contract. Prorated the second year only.

You have a very good chance of getting Dayton. It is a fairly junior base.

There is no training contract, but you will have to stay at PSA for a year or two if you take the bonuses.

If you get someone to refer you, and split the referral bonus with you, first year pay is $60,000.

Still weighing a few options, which is a nice change in this business.

Option number 1 is overseas, not the Middle East

Options 2 & 3 are regionals with very quick upgrades and most importantly 1 leg commutes.

I came to PSA with the expectation (wrongly I admit) that I would be CLT based as a DEC. I could deal with a 2 leg commute if I was logging PIC and helping to further my career, but I'm not.

Unfortunately we all know how fickle this industry can be and I'm unwilling to risk being stuck at the bottom of the list with a 2 leg commute to reserve.

You're welcome to PM for more details.

It is not 20k per year it's 20k over 2 years. Paid 2500 every 3 months

Is CLT commutable from asheville AVL? I noticed 5 flights/day. With new hire seniority, getting CLT and then commuting, would that take more than 6 mo? does PSA have the same commuter clause as Envoy?. I'm making the jump to 121 and PSA is now on my radar. Asheville is a great town I could live in.

It is. And the added bonus is that you can drive to CLT or TYS from Asheville. But, Asheville has become really expensive in the past couple years. The wife and I recently checked out houses in Charlotte and the Asheville area and decided that between all the added taxes and the cost to buy it just wasn't worth it. But, your experiences there may vary. I have friends who have lived in Asheville their whole lives who are now moving out because of the cost of living. Anyway, if it were me, and I was really wanting to move to a mountain town, I would just move to TYS and live in base.

It is all in what you are used to. I think that Charlotte has a really cheap cost of living, and Asheville is even cheaper. When compared to other cities on the East coast, I would take Charlotte over just about anywhere else. I moved here for the quality of life that the city can give me, and chose PSA based on where I live.

Asheville is a beautiful place, and is an easy drive to Charlotte.

As far as commuter clause, it is pretty good. List for 2 flights. If you don't make it, get there when you can. Plus $3000 a year in commuter hotels.

If one was going to move to Asheville I'd just drive. You'll always have a seat coming and going in your own car, and it'LL probably be faster too.
