A Few Additional Questions
1) Is PSA 100% cancellation and DH pay?
2) How does the 2nd year bonus actually work? Would you maintain your first year pay (~$58,500 at min guarantee) or do you actually drop in pay? I've read it a few different ways and just want clarification.
Thank you

100% Canx, 50% DH, 2nd year drop in pay as I understand it.

Mil/Guard guy here, new to the forums...
I submitted my resume and application last night, and got a call this morning to set me up an interview, so that's good. However, I'm in a weird spot and am wondering if anyone has an answer or opinions about my situation.
My total hours are sitting at a little more than 600hrs, but I submitted the application with a metric for Taxi time conversion (the normal version of the Majors' "1.2 x" or "1.3 x") in the Comments section, since our time is logged only from TO to LDG, and doesn't include taxi time. The recruiter pilot said it made perfect sense, but she's not entirely sure how that works at the moment.
It may be a stab in the dark, and maybe I'm simply asking for validation of my own thoughts, but has anyone been in a similar position recently, whether with PSA or another Regional?
Snagging another 100 hours or so in the next several months shouldn't be an issue, but I'm trying to jump on the wave sooner rather than later.
Thanks for any help in advance.

That's not true everyone always says MCO is bad but I've never missed a commute in almost 2 years. All the flights are on 321s which gives you 2 jump seats. Take that for what it is.

Hi everyone - I have started seeing a small trend in the last 6 months. I am currently a senior captain at a regional in the training department and have seen 2 new hires collect bonuses, get their type then bail and head over to another regional and do the same thing. Within a few months they collect thousands of dollars plus the type. It seems the regionals are so desperate to hire that they still gamble on these kinds of people. Are the regionals doing anything to demand repayment? It seems really sad pilots are out there doing this and bragging about it.

We had to sign a two year agreement at PSA. But other than that, what can they do.

It's a small world, trust me they will regret it when karma sneaks and bites them down the road. Also it's gonna make it that much harder for these individuals to explain to a legacy carrier why they were regional hopping when the interviewer knows these bonuses are out there :-)
