You don't want to go to PSA. Its not a good place to be. Here's a current thread on the ALPA 61 message board, the Dayton local. It is a typical PSA issue, and is very representative of how thier management operates.

Please change your MKE airport diagram to reflect that we now park at C 18at the Milwaukee Airport. The new ops freq. is 131.5.

We went to MKE yesterday and did like the diagram said and went to gate 51, 53....but nobody was home and there was no equipment there.....We tried to call them on 130.5 but we did not know that there had been a change to the ops freq. We called the MKE ops phone number and there was no answer. We called our dispatch and told them that we were at our gate as depicted in our airport diagram and in all of their wisdom they said..." You guys are suppose to be at gate 51 or 53!!!! Go there now!!!" ...........I said "I AM AT 51 AND 53 AND NOBODY IS HERE!!!!!!" There response was "Oh.....well we show that that is the gate and ....ummm...(covers up phone..."hey I got 2315 on the ground in Milwaukee and they taxied to the wrong gate....do we know where to park in Milwaukee????) I then lost it and said "WE DID NOT TAXI TO THE WRONG GATE!!!! WE WENT TO THE GATES DEPICTED IN OUR DIAGRAM AND USAIRWAYS IS NOT HERE AND THEY DO NOT ANSWER ON THE OPS FREQ!!!!" Grrrrr. He corrected himself but yet nobody in dispatch knew where USairways parks in MKE.....SO we called MKE ground and ask if they knew anything about USAirways ops moving...they said "Stand by".....(probably so they could laugh at us) "Try the C gates...there appears to be some ground personnel waiting for you near C18.

This is how we do business here at PSA. The incompetence of our airline and their inability to complete a flight because nobody bother to let the pilots know that we now park a half mile away in a different terminal. And who do you think they will blame this on????? The pilots because we sat for 10 min. at the wrong gates trying to find our spot.

What a joke this place has become.


Pilot A:
Hey....FYI.....
MKE Ops moved on July 7th 2007...I got there on Aug 5th......so there was one whole month that PSA had to get this info....

Pilot B:
I went in there about 3 weeks ago and fortunately we had an AWAC jumpseater who knew that we had switched gates AND knew the new freq. Guess who filed an ops report that our gate and freq were wrong? Guess who never heard anything back?

Our Station Bulletin pages are some of the most useless things going right now. Half of them are wrong and and out date.

Pilot C:
This happens every time at every station that changes. Shows how much all levels of management care about running a smooth operation. Just a question, did the station info on the release reflect the new info????

RF

Pilot D:
I wish that you would have let the rest of us know..... you should have know the company wouldn't tell us. I know it's not your job but it would have kept Darren and I from looking like a couple of Jack _ss's.......... But the info is out there every one take note......

Pilot A:
Hey Randy,
The release reflected D 51 and 53, as does "Shares" and "Dex". Flight info will not give a freq but has C18 for the gate. (a lot of good that does me in the cockpit). That should make it clear as mud. It is wrong in the places that we have access to as pilots trying to complete a flight....half right in other places and correct but missing gate information in other places.

Pilot A:
I thought that this info would be important enough to put in todays DRS but it must be of little concern to the company. I called Tom Arline to suggest that this info be made available to the all of the crews ASAP but that just does not happen here at PSA. Nothing in the DRS today or for the past month about this change in gate info or ops freq.


Pilot E:
"What a joke this place has become."

Become? I can't remember when this place wasn't a joke.

Muff
5 yrs. and counting

Pilot A:
Did you know.....

Our maintenance was rank #1 and won several awards back in the 1990's.
PSA use to be ranked up in the top 10 and sometimes in the top 5 for performance.
We actually had some pride in this place.....sure we bitched about things but in the past five years (just about the time you got here EarMuffs....hummmm) this place went down hill fast!!! I have never seen such a poorly run operation than ours....and to say that this beats working at Mesa is a stupid analogy. Mesa sucked back then just as much as they suck now. Look at what they did to CC air and Florida Gulf.....can you say Freedom scabs and oh..GRRRRRR...I doubt that I have to go on.......

We weren't the best but we were gaining ground.......Now we suck......in almost every way.......passengers hate us.....the press eat us alive.....other regional think we sold out with the slots on the jets to the J4Js which set an industry standard for giving up seniority....oh and then there is the CEL guys flying our left seats.....Why don't we just let the USairways MEC allow all of the Pinnacle, Mesaba and Eagle guys over here to fly in our seats. Throw in some Comair guys and some Mesa pilots to add insult to injury........This place sucks!!!!!


Pilot F:
"other regional think we sold out with the slots on the jets to the J4Js which set an industry standard for giving up seniority....oh and then there is the CEL guys flying our left seats"

Most of the guys n gals I talk to who weren't affected by the J4J program don't know it even existed. This brings me to a question: In 8 months when they are all gone, are you still going to be crying over spilled milk? Get over it already!

and, you're right, this place does suck. I don't think the morale is even repairable at this point.

Life is not good for bluestreakers right now. Comair is a much better choice and just a little further away in Cincitucky, or how about Republic/Chautauqua/Shuttle America with their Indianapolis base? Much better is not much further.
