Psa
 

So what can you folks tell me about PSA? I got an email from them that seems a little interesting, says that my resume was received and to be considered I must meet the minimums. If I am considered for employment I will be contacted by email to confirm their interest..

Then this next line is interesting I'll type it verbatim "PSA Airlines considers that an individual has removed him or herself from consideration if on the individual's passive demonstration of disinterest shown through non-responsiveness to email inquiries regarding the specific position"

That coupled with an addition of the word PilotXXXX (XXXX being a number) to the subject line of the email I sent them (they simply replied) makes me think this is a suggestion to reply to this email, and stay in contact with them. But its a way of tracking interest in the position. I've replied to the email guess I'll wait and see where it goes.

Is that even a complete sentence? I read it 3 times and I don't think it is.

Tell them you'll be interested when if on e-mails to specific position applicants regarding there is proper grammar.

They could write it with crayons and I probably wouldn't care. If it gets me in the right seat of a kerosene burner I don't care.

Unless its GoJets!! I have been doing my homework.

Flew into CLT this evening and was told that PSA cnx 30 some flights last night due to lack of crew? Anybody?

Yeah, I got the same email....
Anyone have a gouge for their interview?

That's a standard "hey we got your stuff" email. You'll get another invite email in a week or so if they want to interview you. The second one is the one you need to respond to.

Hey F35Captain, how many hours did you apply with?

I got the same exact email yesterday, and I responded to it. However this happened about 3 weeks ago as well. Then I met thm at the job fair in ATL and they said they d be in touch with a class date. I don t know what is going on. But i applied with 440TT and 102 ME. I responded to the email saying "thank you for considering me as a First Officer Candidate, I a m still interested " or omething to that effect. We will see. They arent my first choice but Im keeping all of my options open.

oh boy SJS at its best, PSA pay rates arent all that great, I would hold out if I were you, unless you live right by there bases, even so..............be careful what you wish for:o

Give it a rest, not everyone will be as fortunate as you to fly for express jet. If someone wants to get a job flying why not give some encouragement instead of making little comments that imply we are all idiot's because we might fly for an airline other than Express Jet. Pay rates aren't all that great anywhere. And hold out? Like most of us can afford to sit on our a$$ and just wait for what? Get over yourself, sick of your little queer a$$ remarks.

I think the important point to be made is that in today's market, someone with over 500/100 can have their choice of several regionals. Its not like 5 years ago where you needed to settle for the first one to call. Take your time and pick the airline that fits you best. You might be there for a while. Pay is not going to improve if people who have a choice work for places like Mesa, PSA, and Trans States just to get the turbine time(QOL decisions are justification in and of themselves). Choice being the key word.

Air Wisconsin is now hiring lower-time folks. Published mins are 500/125 I believe. If you wanna live out east, shoot ATW a resume; we're starting to have trouble recruiting pilots just like everybody else...

Does ATW have any bases in the Northeast? Somewhere near BOS or PVD?

ATW is Appleton Wisconsin, AWAC's headquarters.

Our current domiciles are PHL, DCA and ORF.

.................................................. ..........................

I am interested in Air Wisconsin. I am planning on instructing for the duration of the summer and then I will start sending out the resumes. I am currently at 350/58. By summer's end I should be in the ballpark of 650/100 . Still low time but that's when I am stepping into the game.

Just a little punk, LOL. You need to grow up.

.................................................. .................................................. .............

If Wiskey is where you wanna be, start sending your resume now and update every four weeks. Attach a cover letter with each resume stating what you are doing and how much you are flying and the reason you want to work here. The more your name comes across ER's desk the better your chances...

I am not getting into this industry to make 200K per year. I love to fly and will make an educated descision as to where and who I will fly for. If you love what you do the money will follow eventually. I know I can live on whatever I make. I planned wisely when I was in my twenties. Bought my house cheap, fixed it up and now its my nest egg. Did my time in the Corps and then started my own company. Made plenty of dough and discovered money isn't everything. Which leads me to flying. Maybe I'll apply with XJT. Then you can tell me in the flesh that I am a *****. It would be a sorry mistake for you, bet that you crap your skivies there on the spot. Your a spoon fed pus. I know your type. I want this, I want that. Bet thats all you ever say..

*sigh*

Put them away, fellas...

:p.........................................

You know more than me? Doubt it. And believe me, I dont think your Chuck Yeager. I could care less about how many hours you have or position you hold. You character is a big friggin ZERO. So I have no respect for what you know or type. It's all crap to me.

I would think I know slightly more about the 121 regional world..................... Why do you take these posts so seriously...........................get a grip

I am Shamrok, kiss my bicep....

hahah that was awesome ;)

Peace to all, I'm going flying..................

these childish rants coming from the 30 something that can't stand spoon fed 20 somethings. the irony continues!

Ok, this is just getting stupid:D

Just emulating Saab's quote, "I am SAABaroowski, hear me roar". Did you happen to read that? Or did you miss it?

I would post something intelligent here, but while reading this thread in its entirety, I have lost enough brain cells to make a fully functioning monkey. Lame.

Read it and didn't miss a beat. I'm certainly not going to get into a tit for tat with you. I personally just can't stand people that rip apart younger guys, then with their posts show that they are on the same intellectual level, seemingly lower. Once again ignorance is bliss!

Wow, your very defensive. Are you feeling insecure about something? If you read one of my previous posts I simply said that an older pilot has more "life" experience than a younger one. How can you argue that? With more experiences in life, not just in the classroom, one has many more perceptions to base a descision on. It's a fact. If you can't except that then your ignorant. I am not looking tp get into it, tit for tat either. And that started with someone asking if age would be an issue to going to a regional. I never ripped anyone for being younger.

WOW!!!
I can't believe I read the whole thing....what a waste of my time
.....
Professionalism in ALL aspects of our lives is KEY
There are times where we just need to let things go

Enjoy Life Everyone :)

Hope this helps to bring this post back to something worthwhile.....I heard the same thing about PSA, and apparently Mesa is having the same problems as well.

Maybe when their mainline partners start canceling contracts due to reliability issues, the regionals will start to figure it out. Or better yet, more "regional" flying will be brought back under the mainline umbrella ala the 190s at USAir.

AMEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is this all about USAir getting E190? I know a captain for USAir who used to fly Airbus and now is being moved to fly the E190.

What next E175 then E145 for a 15 years captain? Give me a break

Prepare to be ripped apart by many people on these boards for that comment.
