PSA Prospective Pilot Questions...

[azcz10]

I live near ATL and I am a corporate pilot on a King Air 90. I make $60k and fly 250-300hrs per year. I am a total stranger to regional airline flying so help me out guys. Is it possible to begin your duty day at ATL? If not, is it possible to commute to TYS and begin your duty day? PSA guys only please.

I suggest you get professional psychiatric care before you leave your current job in order to accept employment with PSA.

 

[say again]

Im afraid not, though that would be nice!! Duty starts at domicile before a trip.

Commute to make 1/3 of what you make, be away from home 10 times more and fly 3 times as much......hmmmmm. CRAZY!!!!!!!

 

[Sawmill]

Trust me...King Air flying is a hell of a lot more enjoyable than CRJ's or ERJ's. Listen to 79%N1. Just my .02. -Former PSA FO

2-3 guys register a day, spending $10 on a credit card to start flame bait like this, and tool boxes like you bite into it.
For the original poster. You're loser. Save your money. Turn off re runs of the Golden Girls, get your hand out of your pants and find a hobby.

And then there are the guys who have been here for so long they didnt have to pay 10 bucks...and still dont understand that just because you have an opinion, you dont have to let everyone else know it, because we didnt ask.

And what if your hobby is watching Golden Girls with your hand down your pants? Huh Mr. Opinion?

Thats right, take your own advice and shut your mouth, Sweet Cheeks!

If your hobby is cranking it to a bunch of woman on the brink of wearing colostomy bags, your hobby sucks. Time to get a new one.

Uhh D(xr)ICK...maybe if you go back and look, aczc asked a question that I answered (adding it was just my opinion). It seems to me your input to this discussion is just you wanting to hear yourself "talk" and has absolutely nothing to do with the topic.
Now shut up cuz the commercials are over and GG is back on. (Boy its hard to type with one hand.)
PS...How did you know I had sweet cheeks?!?!

We've all been on FI.com long enough to know, when someone with 2 posts total comes on here, from the 91 side making decent money and nice schedule. Wanting to leave it for the regionals, is FOS.
People buy into it, reply and the same ole cycle continues. If people would quit answering these morons, they would go away.....hopefully.

Now heres a little tip. So you're watching Golden Girls, one hand is occupied and you're trying to type....hard, isnt it?
Solution:
Get a blender, put ping pong balls on the blades (incase you hang a little to close)
Fill it with refried beans and butter scotch pudding.
Turn it on to "blend" Sit back, type away and enjoy.


Oh, and make sure the dog is in the back yard or in another room. It could get messy.

If this isn't a hijacked thread then I dont know what is.

To the original poster:

I highly recommend you consider other options.

Don't listen to these guys. PSA rocks. Soon we'll be getting CRJ 900s, flowthrough to mainline, fat payraises, 2 year upgrades, double time for open time, signing bonuses, new uniforms, minimum of 4 star hotels on overnights, supermodel F/As, minimum 14 days off, PBS....

Well, at least we're getting new uniforms. I (heart) sharkskin.

I saw the OLD PSA MEC in the crew room the other day, moaning about how poorly staffed we are. Somebody said "You and Management are too blame for this". I don't think S.T. Heard it.
But its right.
Alpa gives the Captains a big fat raise and sweet nothing to the F/O's then blame management for not being able to hire new pilots. How many pilots out there are willing to fly for $20k/year?
We are short qualified F/O's because the old Union took what they could for themselves and screwed us. Now it is coming back to bite them.
Remember what your parents taught you about being greedy? this is lesson #53.

On the flip side....Management should have known about this upcoming shortage 5 months ago. And NEWS FLASH ....In less than 9 months we are going to be losing 60plus captains. Can you hear me?????? Shortage again!!!!

I actually flew with him for a turn yesterday. First time I'd even met him. Nice enough guy if you take the political considerations out of the equation. Not too happy with being an hour late due to no FOs though.

I've got an interview coming up at PSA. Can anyone give me any info on if they have a training contract, what's the pay during training, flight benefits during training, and where based during training? Also, if anyone knows how often they run training classes I would be grateful (need to give current employer 2 weeks or you get bad reviews from them for the rest of your life).

Seems they have a lot of bad reviews, but without coughing up $2k for my MEI I doubt I'm going to get enough multi time to get onto anyone like Skywest. Even places asking for 50hrs multi would be 3-4 months in the future before I meet the minimums...
