What bases are the new hire FO's getting out of training recently? Are they starting to get assigned to D.C. yet? Has there been a bid for CA's to start moving if they wanted to? I saw there were/are interviews going on there this weekend...

Wondering if I could get some insight on this.........Had a phone screen last Spring and was invited for an interview. I never pursued it based on a few factors, just not good timing. What is the possibility of Pilot Recruiting offering another interview now that things are much more conducive to starting a 121 career?

Did you skip the interview or notify them that you were unable to attend? If you still have the email chain and didn't just skip out, I would call or email them and explain that the personal situation that precluded you from being able to attend then has been resolved and now that you can focus on training and ultimately PSA 100% you would like to explore another interview opportunity.

Something along those lines... best wishes.

Thanks for the reply. No skipping of interview, never scheduled one. I just said I needed some time to get some things in order. I was in the retirement process and just couldn't commit at that time. Just wanted to get a feel to see if not taking the initial interview invite would be detrimental to a re-attempt.

You will be fine. As long as you didn't "no-show" for it, they won't hold it against you.

Apply again. It should only take a few minutes to do so. If you don't hear anything in a day or so, send an email as well.

Thank you for the quick reply and info. Sounds like PSA is hitting on all cylinders including QOL! I'll be joining the team this month and can't wait to get started. I know, I know, Newbie enthusiasm....

Link55, guy like you should go to Piedmont, Endeavor, Commutair or dare I say, Gojets. Get a quicker command, PIC time and off to the major leagues. No need to stay in the minors if you're already pitching 100mph so to speak. No disrespect to PSA and its crews. You are, or will be, in a different pile than the rest of us. Those are just the facts. Military is quite favored as everyone knows. Being an FO for two plus years will stall you for two plus years. The Yankees want the big leaguers now not two years from now. This is assuming you want to play for the Yankees and not the Toledo Hounddogs.

Anyone that would recommend GoJet for any reason is obviously a troll.

If he has no 121 time, it is doubtful that he has the 1000 hours SIC that is required to upgrade right now.

PSA is upgrading 24 a month and will likely do so for quite a while. With growth and attrition, expect upgrade time to fall to about 18 months. It takes at least that long to get 1000 hours SIC in order to upgrade in the first place.

Not a troll. Advice for people trying to move on quickly. It was not that long ago that PSA itself was considered at the bottom of the barrel and was hammered for accepting an iferior contract. You would have been considered a sell out or "troll" for recommending PSA not all that long ago but thanks PSA help.

Some called it an "inferior" contract, but they were mostly uneducated and did not know what the contract really was. That same contract has given PSA pilots the ability to have the best quality of life in all of the regionals and now has industry leading pay.

People should not be so quick to judge.
