Current PSA?

[mamba20]

Thank you captain obvious. You mean you couldnt detect the sarcasim in my post? Oh man, what is this board coming to.

 

[k_EAT=ho_ME]

Brilliant. I love when someone pretends to miss the point, and someone else misses that point and points out that the first guy missed the point, and then someone has to point out to the second point-misser that he, in fact, missed the entire point.

 

[mamba20]

Whats your point?

 

[ex j-41]

Not what but where!

And that is under my hat!

Hey I have two questions. I am going to training soon but i am wondering if we share rooms. I am also wondering how long it take to get our background check. I understand that after that is completed we are able to non rev. I am hopint to go to a family get to gether. or it is just a real stupid idea to trivel on one weekend while in training.

Thanks

No, You do not share rooms (unless you want to share rooms, LOL)... Be careful, the new hire Fa's are in the same hotel at the same time, has lead to trouble in the past.

I know new hires like to blow off steam at the end of week 2 or 3 but I advise you to behave if you are at Aviators (The Local Hang Out). The walls have eyes...almost had to fire some new hires last summer for a Bar room brawl.

No idea about background checks! Non reving in and out of Dayton is tough on weekends and there are a few senior guys and some management types that commute in and out on weekends so flights (and Jumpseats) can be full. Be careful

See ya soon.

There are now a couple of new hangouts because of management getting involved in other issues that don't concern them. PM me and I'll fill you in on their location.

I'm heading into weeks 2 of training now. A weeked off would be a nice thing, but I think most of us are going to stick it out and try to get some studying done. Hotel rooms are just one person. There hasn't been an FA class here since we got here so I can't speak to the CPs comments of that. We all got temp IDs the second day here. Additionally we were in SABRE and the phone system by the Wednesday if the first week so we were able to non rev on PSA at least. Perminent badges arrived the second Monday. Very few people in this class have a car so we have been relying on the hotel shuttle to get us places. Stubby's is pretty good but as was said before, behave your self when out. Get those memory items and limitations down and good luck when you get here.

thanks

How many Memory items does PSA have?

 

[Iceman21]

Nothing to see here. Move along.

 

[nethan]

There are 11 IAI I think (I'm too lazy to go look them up right now) and about 40 or so limitations that need to be memorized. Training isn't hard but it does require putting some effort in. So far I have no complaints. Systems training is all computer based and is pretty good from what I've seen so far.

 

[Weasil]

Nethan is correct, 11 immediate action items. 3 of those are the same thing though "masks and 02" so really there are 9. We are expecting a big revision to the POH soon though I'm not sure if there will be any changes to Emergency Procedures. The new checklists are rolling out already so be looking for that those of you in training.

 

[mamba20]

Congrats you guys and welcome aboard. Study hard! we need you! BAD!!! Your with a great company flying an ever greater airplane. Just enjoy it. I've been here just over a year and have met people that I will be friends with for life. Any questions feel free to PM me.

 

[Clipper_Aurora]

AH YES, PSA has been great to me, being a small company (for now, there's always hope) you really become good friends with alot of people and it is nice to see the same people over again, with the exception of a few (that usual 5%) Planes are great, co-workers are great, and whatever happens after the merger is complete PSA could be the best gamble for pilots....so roll the dice

that is all

Does any one know if PSA is going to be a cass airlilne

 

[Weasil]

yes it is. I talked to the chairman of our ALPA jumpseat committee a few weeks back. He said the company has already agreed to participate in CASS, the funding for the infrastructure hasnot yet been authorised yet though. Apparently someone has to physically hook up a computer data base of the active PSA pilots to the CASS system so a gate agent can look you up.

I can't say enough good about the PSA interview experience.

I hope I will get the chance to hang my hat there long term.

Thanks Chief!

What are the chances of holding Charlotte right out of class? I've been asking around and heard that Charlotte just became very senior, how long is reserve running now?
