The truth hurts....
 
The PSA tropical storm is being upgraded to hurricane status and despite their best efforts the truth can't be hidden anymore.

FOs upgrading out of seniority order creating the potential for a good ole' fashioned *** storm down the road.

Aircraft delivery slowing...

No flow, only 4 interviews per month

20 year wait before even getting to interview...

Their management pilots admitting in public that they don't care if their pilots are unable to fly visual approaches

Not to mention their pilot's seemingly bizarre notion that they are immune to reductions in flying, base closures, and the resultant displacements....things which every single other airline goes through at least every other year...

PSA pilots as of late:

http://i.imgur.com/tZOS8.gif


On a serious note: for those of you who are still junior at PSA (chrisreedrules) don't get mad. I implore you to reflect on your decision and possibly make a move. We joke and poke at each other on this forum but all of this is deadly serious. Think about your long term career and realize that PSA's fake "quick upgrade" is not what is needed for you to get to mainline. A true flow means more these days than any PIC time....remember that at Envoy you can flow to AA as an FO. If you don't believe me, go look at the "who's been hired" thread on the Major forum. You think PIC time will help you get to Delta or United? Yeah, you and every single other Regional Captain and LCC pilot also has PIC time. Good luck with that....and next to military pilots with IP time it means NOTHING unless maybe you are on the friends & family plan.

Street hires at AA are strictly military at this point with a token amount of family...usually also military pilots. Envoy is 30/month and/or 50% of each class...that is largely the only way in to AA for civilian guys like us. Delta? Good luck...especially if you don't have a 4.0 GPA in rocket science and graduated in 4 years (only a slight exaggeration I assure you) and United is the same except for the high GPA requirement. The bulk of their new hires are also military....that leaves a token amount of civilian guys per month. You think you and 10,000 other pilots all with PIC time competing for the same position will get you in the door faster than a flow? Nope. Soon Delta will also establish a flow..possibly with Endeavor. It's the way of the future.

LOL.... I wonder how much they are paying you and the rest of the "ANTI-PSA" clan to start up these threads. Maybe another 25% per thread on top of guarantee?

Good Luck!

The truth hurts....
 
That last paragraph is the sobering truth. I'm a 135 guy so my only way to the Majors is to marry a CP's daughter (except i'm already married) or to network, network, network.

Dunkin 05-20-2015 09:58 AM

In a few years it won't matter what your GPA or background is, the only way to get to AA will be through Envoy, PDT, or PSA. If you want to go to AA go to a wholly owned carrier that has a base where you live or is the easiest commute, all of this other stuff is flame bait.

BS. Plenty of 135's are going to the major airlines.

I have no say in either companies, but I'm beginning to think the OP is a pilot/recruiter for Envoy. He's doing more recruiting pitches than PSAJOBS now.

True story I met this girl online who eventually told me she was the daughter of a CP at a Major. She was like a 6.5 at most but I really thought about it....:D

He does spend a lot of time writing really long campaign adds for Envoy, if he isn't a recruiter he certainly has no life.

Thought about it?

I have revoked your man card. Sorry. You have to crush a few 6.5's in order to get to the 8's son.

Like I said, the truth hurts. You are seeing only what you want to see if you think that was a campaign ad for any airline. I mention Envoy once, in one sentence pointing out how you can flow to AA as an FO. What else do you see? That's the problem...you guys have blinders on and only see what you want to see...as opposed to reality. Thank you for proving my point.

The purpose of this forum is to provide ACCURATE information. Nothing being said is anything but cold, hard facts. CFIs and others looking to make the move to the airlines don't need to be served delusions about sliding over to the big 3 without any military time. Again, that is the cold hard truth and PIC time won't matter. More pilots between the Regionals and LCCs have PIC time than those who don't. They are all competing for the same positions not only with each other but also with miltitary pilots.

Again, these things need to be put out there. Thanks for contributing.

Cujo says good news coming to envoy in a few weeks or sooner.

Good Luck!

LOL, yeah right! Delta will not have a flow unless they start a completely new regional where every pilot goes through the full Delta interview.

Delta wants badly for the SSP to end.

I didnt say that 135 guys were not getting hired. But the ratio of 121/military guys getting hired vs 135 guys (with no prior 121 nor military of any kind) are skewed very much in favor of the first group I mentioned.

It's getting to the point where PSA needs it's own sub-forum. Maybe past that point....2 new threads today alone.

FirstClass 05-20-2015 11:01 AM

PSA is getting all the CRJ's plus there will be a selection committee where 100 of the hottest Envoy flight attendants will be chosen to come over as well. Those interested in being on the committee should message PilotRecruiter for more information.

Hottest flight attendants? No. But have fun with the sausage fest.

Hey man, don't throw me in that bathwater. I'm innocent and was only making an observation. I don't fly for PSA nor have anything against those who do.

That's one area where you guys are probably much better off. I honestly can't remember the last time I flew with a decent looking, young FA.

A used car salesmen couldn't have tried to sell Envoy any better. Street hires at AA have had a balanced share of regional, military and some interns. I have yet to hear of one Envoy F/O transition to AA via any flow-through. In time, perhaps, but this B.S. snake oil sales job of trying to lure in saps to Envoy to pad your ride with crap like this is laughable and any chump who flocks to Envoy based on this propaganda or others here trumpeting a pie-in-the-sky assumption-based future is truly a sucker.

Envoy will be downgrading and furloughing pilots by the end of the year, at least that much is certain. I hope for your sakes you can pick up the flow over to AA a bit more to minimize the number of pilots put out on the street. One way or the other I'm sure we'll throw your junior guys a bone and staple them on to the bottom of our list. There's going to be more Envoy pilots working here whether they want to or not, just a matter of time.

"Bacon boy" ?

I suppose I'll just add that to the list of people and persona's I've been declared to be. Your last sentence is as laughable as you. Here you are trumpeting a concept that you not only are using to lure in saps to your collapsing airline, it's something you obviously hope to take advantage of yourself.

What does that then make YOU ?

Yup........that's right. Aside from being a troll yourself, you're also an incoherent dope who contradicts his own argument. :rolleyes:

My statement on AA hiring is far more accurate then your B.S. Obviously this upsets you. Don't worry...........I think you'll have PLENTY of time at Envoy to think about it. ;)

Well, I have no concerns about that, but clearly Skyvector is concerned about that otherwise why the desperate sales job filled with B.S. ?

Perhaps he's been hanging out with RJ Pilot the King of APC B.S. ?

At any rate, I don't think Envoy will furlough as attrition should cover contraction, but the upgrade schedule claimed by some on this forum is a wish list, if you ask me. That's why I've asked for someone to provide facts as opposed to sales projections. It's getting harder and harder to find a mature Envoy pilot these days, so perhaps I'm asking the impossible ?
