Just so no one thinks I've got nothing good to say about PSA, pay is ok for 1st year FO. (72 hours/mo and per diem 24hr/day in training.) The planes are good. The crews are great.

But there are far better places to start your career.
Eagle has to be wayyyy better..... at Eagle you'll make six figures AND upgrade quick (sarcasm).

The great thing about PSA is their bases - you can actually afford to buy a home in domicile as a second year FO. If you buy in CLT, and do some research, you'll probably make $30k-$50k in 1-2 years as the homes appreciate in value due to all the snowbirds moving down from the NE. If my significant other could find a job in CLT, we'd move there in a heartbeat. It would be a fairly easy commute for me.

I haven't heard anything about PSA. They are very low-key. You have any info on them?
