I think Dayton and Knoxville are the jr bases. Everyone wants to go to CLT for some reason... Including me!!!
Any PSA guys know what the reserve times are looking like now at the different bases?

me and my dad have done some researching on the routes out of these places and it seems like CLT has a bunch of destinations as it should, while i can only find a couple 3-4 destinations each out of DAY and TYS....anyone else on here a PSA pilot flying out of these bases? Would sure like to know about it...
I would def like to get CLT myself, location and route wise. PSA is saying on the websight that they are hiring to all bases. Im guessing it will be a little bit easier to get CLT then it has in the past because all the J4J are leaving....and im guessing those pilot are mostly based out of CLT. So may FO slots be opening up as upgrades take place??? Just taking guesses here....

I was told during the interview that CLT was a senior FO base and reserve times are much longer. I would assume that is because CLT is a hub and this is where commuters prefer to be............Dayton/Knoxville here I come!

TYS is a beutiful part of the country. Right next to the smokey mountains. If you love nature that is the base I would pick. Also TN is growing. Just make sure if you decide to buy a house there that you can get water. The water table is dropping and there is a shortage.

any word on routes out of DAY and TYS? I am aware there is no route map at the moment due to frequent changes of routes...

DAY and TYS are outstations. You generally fly into a hub at the start of a trip and go from there. You don't fly in and out of an outstation all day long usually.
For example from DAY you might fly to PHL or CLT and then proceed to do hub and spoke stuff from there (EX: CLT to GSP to CLT and then CLT to ORF to PHL and then in and out of PHL with the last leg of the trip going back to your base).

Love the TYS-turns! And outstation-basing is fantastic...easy drive to work, easy parking, easy security, friendly gate-agents, you still get the hustle-and-bustle of the big hub, but still get to come home to a relaxed atmosphere..
