I was supposed to start Tuesday and had all my information except for the airline tickets. I volunteered to take the later class date when they asked, so I haven't gotten any updates from that point other than a thank you.

They were planning on running double ATP-CTP classes starting next week, but the start of double classes got pushed back 2 weeks. So it will only be 15 starting the CTP course next week, but should be up to 30 at a time in a couple of weeks.

thanks.
You bid for base prior to IOE but during IOE they'll positive space you to wherever they want you to connect with your training pilot. You can change your base request along the way. You're not "locked in" to a base and can change whenever you like as long as there are openings.

Regarding parking, I think they typically provide that in base but not at an airport you're commuting from. Others with more specific knowledge can speak to that.

thanks, I wasn't worried so much about what base as much as being able to park my car in base while doing IOE - cause I'm a pilot and therefore cheap !

Can the no interview flow through agreement be canceled/changed/terminated? Or is it in a contract with PSA?

It is contractual.

Default Commuting woes

I've pretty much narrowed down my choice of regionals to PSA due to a number of factors. I know the ideal situation is to live close to the domicile but unfortunately I'm going to have to commute no matter who I go with.
I live in the trifecta between Montgomery, Birmingham and Atlanta, damn near the same drive time to each of them. It looks like I can get a one leg commute to all PSA domiciles from one of those three options through Delta.

How reliable are commuting flights? Am I going to get stuck alot? Do I legitimately need to try to get a flight out 24 hours before my duty starts?
Does anyone here have experience commuting to PSA domiciles on Delta flights?

There are 1 leg flights on PSA metal out of BHM, on AA out of Atlanta, and Air Wisconsin out of Montgomery. You can use Delta for a flight as well if you need to.

For the commuter clause, you just have to list yourself on 2 flights that will get you to work on time. If you can not make it on both, then you can rejoin your trip when you can and it is not held against you.

If I can get Charlott as a Domicile it would make things super easy. How likely is it to get Domiciled at Charlotte right out of training? Just quickly glancing around, unless I can get on a Delta flight out of ATL I'm looking at a two leg commute to DAY, TYS or CVG. Not a huge deal breaker but from what I've read and heard having a one leg commute ups QOL a good bit and gives you a much better chance of getting to base on time.

Also correct me if I'm wrong but in a worst case scenario if I get on a PSA flight I can sit jump seat; weather it's in the cockpit or an FA spot. But if it's another carrier I'm basically just flying standby and would have to have a regular passenger seat.
