PSA Upgrades
To all my PSA brethren:
I just read the daily DRS, and there are 30 captain vacancies! I have not seen this many upgrades announced at once. This is great news. This will put my class near the top of the FO seniority list, and we are just approaching our one year mark! Everyone should see a substantial gain in seniority. Things sure are looking good. |
I don't know what your looking at but todays DRS said 1 Captain Vacancy.

Texas Pilot - Since you've been there almost one year, what do you think of the company and I would really like to know what your schedule has been like during this first year. I live in Dayton and have been thinking about returning to commercial flying with PSA. Thanks.

I just finished up OIE and Im Dayton based soon to move to Knoxville. So far so good. As far as those upgrades, I talked to an FO the other day that got awarded upgrade next class, hes been there only a year and a half. Anyone know of a good crashpad in TYS while im at it?

Right now PSA has a horrible pass rate for the upgrades. Somewhere between 30-50% pass rate. Last class only 2 of 6 passed.
Doesn't matter what the time to upgrade goes down to if nobody get through. |
From what I understand, the failures are due to guys going in there unprepared. You must know your POH and FOM cover to cover before you set foot in the classroom. The majority of the failures are occuring at the oral, not the sim.

Well....had I stayed at PSA I would be upgrading next month. When I left upgrade time was about 4 yrs. March would have been my 15th month at the company. Could not have forseen the high fail rate for upgrades, and there was way more FO's ahead of me than projected upgrades. Just one of those roll of the dice situations.
|
The company just sent a message to all the first officers requesting their flight time to assess how many will be eligible for upgrade this year. Something definately is going on. I have a feeling that the 900's are on the way. Mesa is not fufilling their contract with Airways, so I think it is pushing our 900 plans forward.
