This statement is 100% true..I've worked
at both and I can honestly say you need a
union..


Sent from my Private Jet

So you say we need a union but you don't like the leadership. Why don't you run it then your way.

What the latest understanding of the opportunities for DEC at PSA for someone that is about to hit enter on the application? Usually by the time I hear about opportunities like this the opportunity is gone. Have they suspended FO hiring because they need to focus on hiring more street captains? Or does PSA have a pool of street captains they need to train before they hire any more FO's?

I'm not sure anyone knows. We have two captain bids closing on the second and third of June for a total of 40 captains. We should see the results of them within a few days.

I don't know if the DEC's are being hired as part of this bid or outside of it. Not sure anyone knows.

There are no DECs online. I'm told some have interviewed.

This next week or two should be very telling.

Truth be told, I'm more interested to see what came out of this SSP negoiation. That's going to affect people far more than DECs will.

You'll know Monday at 3pm.

"Need Sum PIC time" not alot just some LOL

#1. Is it true PSA is taking DEC's or is this a ploy to get ppl on property and yank the carpet out from up under you in training to say nope we don't need Capt's now but you can be an FO lol GOTCHA!!!! Thus formally Not to Open a "can o worms" or whoop @$$ Amongst my fellow disgruntled or upset guys about legitimate pilot contract issues but is PSA taking DEC's I lil birdie told me this is it tru!!! If so hows the training? can you get in and out then on line without taking or getting a bullet?!!! Id like to make a decision on this before pulling the trigger!!!

#2. Hows the reserve, kinds? types? rules?

#3. Are there enough F/O's on property already qualified where if you were a DEC you wont hold the seat long due to getting displaced by a more senior FO Upgrading!!!

#4. Whats the Flow to AA look like "HA funny joke" no seriously I would like some sort of a half way descent answer on that one!!! cause im just curious.

OK guys ready to hear some answers let not get too sarcastic here in the replies ok Thanks

1. yea we are hiring decs. i would doubt we would yank the carpet anytime soon. we are pretty short on captains

2.we have reserve. you would be on it obviously. short call long call and hot. short is pretty basic 1.5 (might be 2 its been a while) hour call out. long is 12. and hot you sit at the airport.

3. you wont get displaced to fo, unless we furloughed etc. you will be on reserve probably forever.

4. no flow. we have a guaranteed interview program as of now. 4 a month or 48 a year. supposed to have info on an updated deal on monday. so far the only people to not pass the interview told aa they did not want the job.

5. was that good enough?

How long would it take a newhire to get a chance to Interview at AA? I hear 20 years?
What if they fail the interview?

Why is there no flow thru like Piedmont & Envoy?

How many CRJ200's are being parked for thru 2017?

How will the FO movement stagnate as I see there's now hiring of street Captains and little if no First Officers?

Why has the CR7 plane transfer schedule been reduced and scheduled to stop by end of 2015?
