Wow so that's like an extra $400 or so per month that you can make, huh? I guess that's why reserve sucks. I was just thinking that you get paid to not work. So i didn't know why everyone hated it. haha Shows how much i know.
Guess i'll be changing my mind from CLT to either DAY or TYS then.

Come back and post when you've actually been around the block once or twice...you're a perfect example of the "me" generation...a real man actually likes to earn his keep.

Please make sure you go somewhere and sit reserve, my friend. Can't wait to hear how much you enjoy it

CLT is the most senior base, but you could easily hold it out of training or within a month or so. Reserve is running about 6 months in CLT and 2 months in TYS. Not sure about DAY, but who the hell would want to go there?
Upgrade should be dropping to 2 years or less.
PSA is pretty good to work for, but the worst part is scheduling. They are ruthless. Once you get off reserve, it is awesome, because you wont have to deal with them much.
Preferential hiring with US Airways is another plus of being at PSA.
Hope that helps.

Thanks. I live about 25min south of DAY so it would be sweet to fly out of there. I know an old flight instructor that works there, he is from Middletown Ohio. Last I heard he liked it there. I think I will apply this week. How long is is before you get an e-mail of phone call?

hey ive been doing some simple math problems, yea i know multiplication isnt THAT in depth haha but on here at APC it states there are 565 pilots at PSA. On THEIR websight, they state they are hiring 40 per month through 2008, which comes out to 480 (DUH).APC says 40 for Jan Feb and Mar. Thats alot of movement and growth according to their numbers. Am i wrong? I am BRAND NEW to this and just hired by PSA out of the NOV 20th interview soooo take it easy on me. I know alot of J4J are leaving, but do they have a/c on order too or are they planning on losing alot of pilots or both? Maybe to US Airways with all the retiring in the future? Thoughts?

Im at PSA right now. They are not letting any FOs get CLT right now. You will get DAY right out of the gate but you should be able to get TYS before you get out of sims or a couple weeks after. Upgrade is a year and a half to two years (per the vice pres. of ops). They are hiring 40/month til Mar. They are losing pilots just as fast as they are making them. The training dept. is slammed full. Get in while you can.

good to hear about the upgrade. i just got in..class starts jan 20th....any word on new a/c? How about going up to montreal for sim training...it seems they are going to use both Montreal and CLT for sim training when it gets too overloaded at CLT. Also i had a friend finish IOE about a month ago or so and he was getting 2 weeks off durring training because of the back long...is that still happening? How about stability at PSA....
