In my estimation from these forums, it would seem PSA is probably the best regional out there when you look at the benefits.Originally Posted by FaceBiter
Mesa is a flaming dumpster fire. PSA is a joke.
- year or less upgrade
- good movement off the top of the seniority list
- taking 3 new airplanes per month for the next 2 years
- flying 200/700/900 series
- Amazing travel benefits on USAirways and American (PSA is a wholly owned regional)
- Best bidding system, ability to drop down to 65 hours if you want to be home more
- Charlotte is a very commutable hub
- Rumored to be adding Chicago as a new domicile
- very laid back people culture
Did I get them all? If I was looking to be a new regional pilot that's where I would go, can't imagine a better place right now.
My guess is some pilots will come to PSA as a new hire, upgrade quickly, then be on to a major airline within 5 years of being a new hire. All while their counterparts who elected to go to the Envoy's and Republics of the world will still be on reserve as an FO after 5 years.
However, to balance this laundry list out a little, there is a lot to be said for the ability to drive to work and if that becomes a major factor, then I would just stay at Envoy if you still hold a seniority number.
