Is there a payraise in PSA's future? Their 2nd and 3rd year pay is just downright terrible. The airline looks attractive to me (all CRJs, TYS, CLT). How do you current PSA pilots like it? I know there is much more to a contract than pay. How are the benefits and work rules? Would you put them up against ExpressJet, American Eagle, or Skywest?

Well....I didn't get that email though. Nor did I ever.
I sent in my resume to HR and 2 days later got an invite for
an interview.
Don't know what to tell you auto....

No. There is no pay raise in PSA's future. Mgmt has repeatedly asked PSA pilots to fly -900s for -200 rates.

I'd guess most guys hate it. They're leaving by the gross. Anybody who can move up is going up, anybody who can move to the side is getting out that way. The company keeps reinterpreting the contract to the detriment of the pilot group.

I quit PSA to fly for Eagle (the BOS base was my deciding factor). And would've gone to XJet or Air Whisky if I had not been able to hold a NE domicile.

Here's a quote from a PSA message board, I think it sums up the entire PSA experience.

"Hey, just wanted to let everyone know that aircraft 703PS had the forward lav overflow and seep through the bulkhead and the carpet to row 10 on Monday, April 9. The company apparently has decided that this biohazard of blue juice and human waste is okay to fly because the juice is dry now. I hear that the passengers are complaining that it smells of urine and strong chemicals and are throwing up more often than normal in flight. Additionally, F/As are reporting sore throats and burning eyes as a result of continued exposure to this plane. Thought I would pass this along. "

Robthree, good for you! I love seeing pilots ditch these crappy regional carriers for good ones. You picked one of the few good ones. How do you like it at Eagle? I hear one complaint about Eagle, upgrade upgrade upgrade. Who gives a crap? That will change. In the meantime, you will be an FO for a good airline that knows how to treat their employees.

Default Got the invite

Got this e-mail today but no attachments for what documents or application to fill out? Guess those materials are to follow after you accept it!


Thank you for your interest in PSA Airlines, Inc. We have received your resume for a First Officer position with us and would like to invite you to join us for the next round of interviews.

We will be conducting interviews in Charlotte, NC (CLT) on Tuesday May 1, 2007. The Q&A session, the written test and the panel interviews will start at 1300 on May 1. Sim Evaluations will take place in the evening of May 1, 2007. We will schedule travel arriving in CLT for the morning of May First and departing CLT the morning of May Second.

These are 3-phase interviews with a SIM evaluation, a written ATP test and a panel interview. Please reply to me before Thursday April 26, 2007 if you are interested and available for these interviews on May 1, 2007 and what city you would like to fly in from. I will begin scheduling travel as soon as possible.

**If you are no longer interested in interviewing with PSA, please let me know and I will take your name off of the invitation list.

Thank you again and I look forward to meeting with you soon.
