Question ASA vs. PSA

I know that everyone has an opinion on each of these regionals, but I am looking to make the better decision in terms of choosing the best fit. I have been invited for an interview with ASA in July and am waiting for a call from PSA! With the way the industry is which would you pick? For those who live in ATL where would you recommend living with a family? Thanks to all!

If everyone one here had their say I'm sure they would all say ASA over PSA...hands down. But what it should boil down to is which regional do YOU think fits YOU. Are you really gonna let a bunch of guys you never met tell you where to work?? Do some research on the 2 companies and find out which one is right for you. And don't limit it to only those 2.....you have many other options, leave them all open for discussion.

P.S. what times did you apply with?

Thanks for the advice! I know everyone has an opinion, just wanted to get the "general" consensus. All regionals have there share of problems, just hoping a few ASA and PSA pilots could give me the pro's and con's. I also heard traffic in ATL is horrible, anybody with advice on places to live would also be appreciated. This is all baring that I even get hired!!!

Applied with 750/95

Agreed...live in Vinings and love it! Easy access to both highways and plenty to do and see! Born and raised on the North side of Atlanta....Traffic can be bad but the growth down here speaks for itself
