Briefly saw my neighbor today while dog walking. I've mentioned him before, he's just upgrading to PIC on the CRJ700/900. Sim and type ride done, just waiting for OE which is backed up. Well it looks like he may never get his OE done, at least not at PSA because Delta has hired him. Zero turbine PIC time. Standard career route, flight school, CFI, PSA. He does have a 4 year degree. I don't know his Delta class date, he literally yelled the news to me as he passed by in the car. When I get some more details I'll post.

I saw Piedmont increased their hiring and retention bonuses. PSA to follow?

Comair then TSA, actually.

And supposedly adding the CRJ to their certificate.

As long as the PSA MEC agrees to roll over on SAP they can get whatever they want. Until then the backup plan is in place.

Think they’ll offer longevity to drive the land line if we agree to give up SAP?

Be careful thou, at the hotel they suggest you stay at you may be evaluated without realizing it when you're in common areas.
