PSA good and bad please!

[mamba20]

Things are definitely going to get really nasty here. I say we give ALPA the boot either way, they suck and they've never done anything to benefit us. This J4J thing. . . . I'll be suprised if its as bad as we think it will be. Who knows but get ready for the fur to fly!

 

[PSAChiefPilots]

PSACPS has been very quite with the whole J4J thing here lately. I have not seen one comment from him regarding this.

Anyone that knows me, knows I'm not quiet about anything, but you are New and do not know me. Anytime you would like to stop by, I'll talk to you about anything you want but here is not the place. A public forum is not necessarily the place to Air Dirty Laundry, I have sent everybody over to the Local, Being new are you familiar with it??? If not I can get you in touch with individuals who can get you on it... I have tried to post multiple times and by the time I hit post, I get logged out and don't have time to retype. This has happened 3 times. I'll try it again. See next post!

Care to fill people in PSACP? Please mention the upgrade time, pay, moral of the F/O's on staff. Please, no playing with words and with such a wide variety of flavors available, please offer everyone a choice in Kool-Aid.

Throttle Jockey, Please read previous post!

Is PSA currently hiring? I thought I read they had cancelled a training classes. If so are the new hires mostly getting CLT? PSA Chief Pilot can I PM you?

I tried again...I give up! I type somewhat slow and after I get about 5 paragraphs down, I get booted when I try to post!

Fire away, one of our assitants here will answer I'm sure. (We do not have any Assistant Chief Pilots but a lot of guys who want to answer for me so will let them have at it!)

Good Luck,
PSACPSP

If they don't care what plane they fly then why the comparison? That's funny. Pretty sure they signed up for the deal in order to get jets.

Get your facts straight, they signed up for j4j because we were loosing the dorniers. They got duped into the slotted system because people listened to their friends at other airlines.

I've had the same problem. When you log in, check the Remember Me box and it will keep you logged in.

The you just have to remember to log out if you're using a community computer!

Chief, when writting long essay type posts (which I attempt to avoid like the plauge) I often write it in notepad/word and then paste it into the web browser. This way I don't get logged out and I can check my spelling. Everybody is happy that way.

As to the good, bad and ugly over here now? The FOs are not the happiest lot in the world. The way I look at it is that it isn't good rigth now, but at least we aren't in danger of losing our jobs like some of the other regionals. Granted that could change overnight. Also it looks like our MEC is stepping up to the plate so I am cautiously optimistic that things will work out ok.

Got another good tip for you, if this is a recurring problem. Once you type the whole response, highlight it all, right-click and copy, then post. This way, if you lose the post, all ya gotta do is create a new one, and paste. :beer:

J4j

so are the J4J guys flowing back from MDA or mainline USair?

 

[mamba20]

They will be flowing to the street and finding new jobs. with any luck not one of those guys will end up here. Especially the ones who flowed up from PDT or ALG. They have no business being here unless they are put at the bottom of the FO list where they should be.

 

[mamba20]

Let me add that I hate to see anyone out of a job but at the same time come on! Enough is enough!

 

[atr42flyer]

So im sitting here debating. Should I send my app packet in to PSA? When will all this J4J thing work out? sure hope things settle down at least for a short time soon.

 

[mamba20]

Couldnt hurt to send it in. Worst case you get some more interview experience even if you decide not to take the job. We FO's are all pretty miffed here but it could be worse, we could be at mesa or one of the delta carriers right now. Hopefully it will blow over soon. It seems like the pilot group is going to fight the hell out of this J4J thing.

Try to but when you right click, It doesn't have the normal copy...I believe it says Copy Backgrpound, is this the same??? I don't think so but I am not a computer guy!

Nethan, I assume when you use this method, you spell check your post in that program before you post? Which again I see youdidn't do here! Again, Thanks to all my helpers...I'll try to do better.

Get back to work!

Strange, works just as described on mine. Copy background is not the same as copy. I'm not using internet explorer for my browser though, so maybe there's a difference there. Are you right clicking somewhere on the text you've selected/highlighted?

I said I did that for long posts where I am trying to make a point. Otherwise, my view is that it is an internet message board and nothing more. Oh yeah, it's hard to get back to work when scheduling keeps saying no to my SDO requests! Trust me. Right now, Dayton ain't so scenic. I'd rather be working.

 

[AlphaSierra01]

Is PSA hiring? Are they still having classes in Feb, March, April? Are new hires getting CLT? PSAchiefpilots, I sent you a PM.

 

[EDUC8-or]

To everyone thinking of applying: Go for it. I applied anywhere and everywhere I could. Just because you apply doesn't mean you will get called, and if you do get called it can't hurt going in for an interview. One thing to remember about an interview is it's a two way street. They want to feel you out, but at the same time you're there to find out about the company. I'm guessing they would rather have you turn down the job instead of investing a buttload of money to train you and then have you leave 3 months later for another company. If you go to several interviews you might find the place that is a better fit and you might be happier in the long run.

Nethan-> Dayton is beautiful, NOT! Only two more days and I'm outta there!

 

[mamba20]

Nethan, DAY is never senic. There cannot be a worse place on the planet to live, definitely the most disgusting place I've ever been to. The mayor should be ashamed of him/herself.

 

[Flyin2low]

Go to PSA if you want a job, but don't expect an upgrade any time soon.
