PSA anyone?
 

Anybody have any information on PSA? I see that their requirements are 1200...how strict are they on that? thx

not very, people have gotten hired recently with 650hrs

i sent my stuff in a few days ago. Im sittin on about 750/120. Think i got a shot?

These were individuals that had previous CRJ training at All-ATP's, DTA, RAA, Pan-AM, ERAU, etc.

Well I went ahead and send my stuff in with 1005/390, hopefully I will have a shot.

I can't imagine you would have any problems with your hours, but I could be wrong. I thought the mins used to be 1000/100 or 200. They must have raised them do to some recent washouts in sim training.

Is PSA doing a lot of hiring right now? I sent my stuff in a while ago and never heard anything. Thinking of sending it in again. Email still the best way?

Why do you want to fly for PSA?

I just quit PSA to fly for Eagle. Morale is rock bottom. Schedules are horrendous. They treat you like dirt. Upgrades are non-existant. Unless you have to be based in CLT, I can't see any reason to go.

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.

Send your stuff to AWAC.

WOW! It sounds like you left one ****** hole for the exact same ****** hole of an airline. Brilliant!

Let us know how that works out for ya in 10 years to upgrade, if they don't sell ya off or furlough.

Eagle has to be wayyyy better..... at Eagle you'll make six figures AND upgrade quick (sarcasm).

You're effing nuts.

I have, still waiting to hear. Havent even heard back from expressjet.

At least he went to Eagle instead of Mesa....Great Lakes.....CommutAir.... Pinnacle.....Ho Jets.....Colgan...need I go on......... Give him a little credit?

HA...my roommate left eagle (and came to PSA) for the same reasons you left PSA.

Strange world we fly in.

I am beginning to think there is no such thing as a good regional airline

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.

DING DING DING....... tonights winner:cool:

ExpressJet!

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

I can honestly say that even with a name change from Jetstream to PSA it was and probably still is a ****ty place to work. Unfortnately I left one s$&t hole for another.

Sorry, I do not work for them. I think the PSA Chief pilot posts on here every now and then.

Who do you work for? You mentioned wanting to move to CLT. I recommend it. My family has been there for 1.5 years and they don't plan on leaving.

In fact, my mom moved up there as well.

I'm based in Norfolk. It would be an easy commute until the summer.

I don't get going to Eagle. With their upgrade times, it seems to me you're practically guaranteeing yourself almost a decade of regional flying before you can move to the majors.

bingo. we have a winner.

oops.....didn't even get to you post. Same thoughts.

Actually, I'm planning on two decades of regional flying, before I retire. I will not be a stranger to my wife anymore. I will not miss my son growing up. Eagle is the only regional Jet operator with a New England domicile.

Had I been as tied to CLT as I am to BOS, I certainly would have stayed at PSA to see what happens. Parker has said that if the US-DL merger goes through he will cut 10% capacity, and he forsees no reduction in mainline flying. That sounds like bad news for #1 COMAIR, #2ASA, and #3 PSA, in that order.
