Stop wishing for things to change. From to V.P. lips "we will be stagnant for at least the next year".
Things are getting better in PHL? I guess so, but look who's base it is, AWAC. If it gets any better, they will deserve the credit.
I don't care to dump on the schedulers at PSA. They are just a product of upper management. Understand they like most of the employees at PSA are driven to do their job, just not equipped with the tools to do it.

The station is run by Piedmont, I'm not certain how AWAC gets any credit for any short term improvement.

Thanks PSACP, will hang tight and hope!

Calls should be going out soon, Waiting on a CP to go through the Applications and seeing how 2 of us avoid dayton, that only leaves one CP! He was supposed to go over yesterday but didn't get to it! May have gotten done today!!!

I'm surprised PSACPSP isn't still recovering from the back injury he got on his last Dash flight.....

You slapped CB for that yet?

Every chance I get, I knew they were built like tanks but holy cow, I thought we left a crater in FLO....Then he blamed you, that was real nice! Tell CB I said hello...And to go get some "landing training."

I read in a previous post that new hires typically get trained in the 200 and then get a differrence training down the road.
does that mean that everyone has to go to the 200 or do some poeple go directly to the 700?
also, if hired in the 200 how long can you get into the 700?
thanks

from what i have heard if your based in CLT then you get the differences but you still fly both equipment. you could have a leg in the 700 and then 2 legs later your in a 200 I think. but im sure somone will correct me as i do not work there yet.

 

[saviboy]

so since you have one pay rate for the 200 and one for the 700, you get paid according to the equipment you fly this day?

 

[wanabe_fo]

blended rate

From what I understand it is a blended rate. You get paid the same no matter what you fly. The rate is determined based upon the fleet makeup of the entire airline. Therefore if (big if) PSA ever takes more deliveries of 700's then everyone's paycheck goes up.

I could be wrong as I have not started yet but I believe I remember seeing this posted here quite a while back though.

Initial is on the 200 then 700 diff trng. There is no 700 to 200 transition program. If you are CLT based you will just get priority to train in the 700 but dont quote me since there is a mixed 200/700 fleet there now.

 

[DorkProp]

If you get based in DAY, you will not get differenced on the -700. CLT pilots are the only one who get differenced (yes I realized I just created a new verb). The pay is a blended rate so it does not matter which plane you are flying. CLT line-holders get either the -200 or -700 for the whole month. CLT reserves will fly both types all the time, one leg to the next.

I checked on Airlinepilotcentral.com and they show 2 rates (1 for the 200 and one for the 700) E.g.: 2nd year F/O in the 200 is 27/hr and 2nd yr FO in the 700 is 30. so which one is it? or is it 28.5?

thanks for the answers

APC is notoriously slow on being updated. Current first year pay rate is 21.85 (I think) and it goes up to around 28 the second year. It doesn't matter what aircraft you fly, the pay is the same. Some people come in not caring what they fly and some people seem hooked on the -700 flying.

Outside of first year FO pay, take the ratio (# of each A/C in the fleet) 200's to 700's. Now take that same ratio of 27/hr to 30/hr and there you have the blended rate. I'm not sure of the number of each airplane we have in the fleet but that's where the rate comes from. You can be in DAY or TYS flying the 200 all month or in CLT in the 700 and you'll get paid the same.

 

[PoorJetDriver]

First year FO is $21.85 and 2nd year is $28.36.

With both 200 and 700 flying in CLT now, the 200 was the more senior aircraft for January. The 200 lines were much better than the 700's.

No kidding, I never saw CP's eyes get so big in my life after that arrival.

Not as far as I am concerned. It all depends upon what your priorities are. PSA tries to make all lines equally bad.

Should i apply or hold out for skywest or chautaqua.
