That would be sad.

I speak from a more southern Bro base, so I'm it entirely sure how MOD affects SFO pairings. For us anything in the northern system boosts the credit up because of the generally longer legs. I've been doing a bunch of CIC the last month or two and nobody has heard word 1 about losing flying there for what it's worth. Lots of rumors floating around the Brasilia fleet though, lately it's about the cost of parts to keep the fleet running. The airplanes that work make money but making sure they have parts seems to be the challenge.

Does PSP have RJs and if so, how soon could someone hold it out of training?

Yes. PSP RJ is rather senior.

Too bad we can't defer maintenance on the prop hubs.

This would be the first I've heard of that rumor. My last pay stub still said $22/hr. 3 more months to get off 1st year pay and counting...

No kidding, that can't be cheap. Although if there is one thing on the Bro worth maintaining, the prop hub is probably it.

Nope. not as of today, and if they did my check from 3 days ago does not reflect it. They have the option, like you said, but as of right now they have not chosen to take it.
