Much of that, including in my immediate instance, is going to be driven by the age of the person affected. For me personally, im into my early 50s, and I have my flow preferences set at yes. But PSA has a relatively senior group of pilots as well, that will choose not to flow, and take the money. I'm right on the cusp of maybe choosing not to flow, especially with the prospects of making this kind of money at the regional level.
I'm pretty senior at PSA, I enjoy a great quality of life as far as schedule goes, I don't have an ego that tells me that I have to fly the next biggest jet, and this new deal will have me living quite comfortably.

Are you prepared for PSA (pretty much all regionals realy) to go out of business or change drastically withing the next 2-5 years? Will you reset your life a few years ago and move on to the bottom of a list somewhere else, and regret not flowing when you had the chance?

Been with the company for 10 months and still on reserve with no line in sight (CLT). Took me 6 months from Indoc to IOE. Had to aggressively pick up opentime to consolidate (several classmates had to do another line check to extend) But hey, I’m making $90 an hour now.

I was told today that training is between 90 and 150 days to get through. 6 months to get through training just to sit on reserve for another who knows how long makes me question whether the money is worth it in the long run.

As of last month (before the pay rise) you will wait for ioe for 3 months, and ground/sim training for 4 months. So 7 months long, and that dosn't include the flood of applicants who will push it further to 10 months in the post pay-rise phase. Add to that, barely flying after ioe.
Much better to go to republic or EVEN MESA (for crj) and get training done in 2.5-3 months, fly 100 hours a month, hold a line instantly out of training, and move to spirit/southwest/jetblue after a year or year and half of flying. You'll be way ahead of the game.
But, thats not the only reason you shouldn't come to PSA, the atrocious training quality is another reason. Go to Envoy/Piedmont instead.
