PSA Rumor Or Fact?

[dooork]

Not much in the form of start of capital. They (PSA) already operate 200/700's. All they need to do is get the leases. I think what your gonna see is that many mainlines are gonna cut the profits of Contract carriers that it will almost be easier to operate and own there own regionals. It has already been suggested that US Airways eventually will want one large regional to all its feed.
I could almost see Piedmont/PSA and maybe Airwhiskey getting combined to do all the feed for Airways.

Yeh that makes alot of sense. Lets combine everyone into one big happy family........come back to earth.

Kirby was qouted as saying it. US Airways wants one big regional handling its flying. Seems to work good for American airlines with Eagle.

As for one Happy Family.. True, anything that US Airways touches seem to turn to mush!

The pay-rates are so PSA can put in a bid for the 2012 38 large regional jet RFP.

2% over the current CRJ 700 rate (not blended) for CAs.
4% over the current CRJ 700 rate (not blended) for FOs.

The CA rate is industry leading (in most years) for CAs when compared to current CRJ 900 operators. The FO rate is above industry average when compared to current CRJ 900 operators.

This is an LOA to the our current CBA. We are in section 6 negotiations and therefore the pay rates are amendable the day they become effective. (Pending pilot group ratification).

This is no way guarantees airplanes.

For those who don't want to see PSA get 900 (or any other airplane) Don't anyone worry, nothing good happens at PSA.

I believe the rate was correct as above but if just 1 900 gets to PSA we would all get the blended rate. I don't think our company has the knowledge/ability to keep track of who fly's what, and pay them correctly.

Correct. The raises are based on straight 700 rate, that is what I was told in the road show. It will be used for a blended rate.

 

[dooork]

It is a moot point. The cost does not have much to do with pilot pay, it is more about the lease payments....and good luck getting a better rate than MESA after BK.

I hope that PSA get's the CRJ-900s so that there may be better service. Mesa service is pretty bad. Actually, it's hard to have good service when there's no crew to man the airplane.

As all your Captains know so well! Single pilot 121, while you look out the window and drool while looking at all the shiny lights.

More than total BS. Mesa's Airways service, TCF, CCF, A-14, D-0 is and has been the best in the ssystem. Also, there have been zero crew issues.

But it doesn't matter if all you want to do is make up your facts.

I accept that you are entitled to your own opinons, I would argue that you are not entitled to your own facts.

It is pretty simple when you call your own off and in times... Amazing how you call for a push at 1130z but you tell them you were out at 1115z...

Question for the mouthbreathers at PSA:

Are your current 700 rates concessionary?

Thanks.

You don't know anything about this pilot group. You're nothing more then an internet tough guy. Why dont you pm me your name. so that if you ever need a ride i can make sure to leave your as& at the gate. For the original poster...... go to airlinepilotcentral. I'm a Psa fo and I make more on the 50 seater now then a mesa guy makes on 86. So how do you figure those planes would be flown for less here? BTW I'm voting no since 4% is just not enough, as are many of the pilots here I know.

Actually he might know alittle about your Pilot group since he works for Piedmont. Sometimes when he opens his mouth we tend to distance our selfs from him however!

Rabble Rabble Rabble!!!

How about you answer my question:

Everyone here is missing the biggest point around ~~ IF US Airways is even still around by 2012.

Push ten and hold!

PSA used to do that all the time in the Dornier and Jetstream. Most guys call their times out in the 700 when the main cabin door is shut.

Even if you've done it only once, you're as guilty as anyone.

PSA has f---d Piedmont and ALG a few years back to get the jets.

They will do it again. 100% sure of that

As an ex-ALGer who was there during the LOA81 (Jets4Jobs, even if the LOA # is wrong), I wholeheartedly agree.

Speaking of negotiations and blended rates...Are you guys (PSA) actually going to try to get straight rates per airplane, or just negotiate your blended rates for this upcoming contract?

Yup that did happen in 2003, when I was in 11th grade. It was wrong but at least half of us had nothing to do with that. Now, IF these planes get voted in, how would Pdt. Be getting f----d again? Are they even bidding on them? Didn't your Pres. Say. .its not out nitch?
