Rumor has it that their will be no new hires until the end of January or Early February. We offered Voluntary leaves for December and possibly going to do it for January...Lots of a/c scheduled for C checks during and afterward January so...Predicting needing new hires in class for late March arrival on line so if my math is correct..Early February!

Stay tuned here!

Good Luck,
PSACPSP

Thanks Chief. Haven't heard anything since the initial offer and was told sometime in January. With voluntary leaves I was pretty nervous about when the next class might be, but Feb. doesn't sound to bad!

What would be the chances of a CLT base? I grew up there and would love to move back there. I miss the Queen City.

 

[PoorJetDriver]

New hires have been getting CLT lately. However, lenghty stay on reserve.

 

[skydork]

So is DAY, running about 1 year now and with lines going down every month its getting longer.

 

[liz289101]

How long is the reserve at CLT running now?

 

[Drill Sgt. Dad]

If I can ever move back to CLT, RSV won't bother me. At least I won't have to commute or get a crashpad.

 

[EDUC8-or]

No classes until March. That's what the instructors were told. It also might take a while to get to Charlotte. Since we lost a lot of flying in Dayton people are jumping ship from Dayton to Charlotte. The way things are going I'm hoping I can get to Charlotte by March, so that would be 6 months in Dayton. That 's being optimistic. Lots of us on reserve in DAY aren't flying much either because there are 50 lines and 40 reserve FO's. Just find something to do in your spare time if you get a crashpad and bring your car to help pass time.

 

[Lineup&wt]

All the talk, should we wait for the call to say that class is cancelled or should we call HR to verify. Everyone is talking about the classes being cancelled or postponed but yet nobody has posted anything here that they recieved the call to verify it. Its seems that everyone in DEC class has there hands in the air not knowing what to expect. Any insight would help or any more inside talk would be appreciated. Have a good day.

I interviewed just under 2 months ago and got the call for a class date about a month ago, original date Dec 5th. It's already been confirmed by HR that my class date is pushed back (as was the Nov 14th class). So, if you were given a Dec class date, now it's verified. Still up in the air from HR for a new class date however, and others that were hired with me have not heard anything either.

 

[Tank]

I was supposed to be in the Nov 14th class. Received a call saying that is was pushed to DEC. and havent heard a thing since.

Get used to it guys, sorry to tell you but none of us have a clue what is going on with this airline. Management dosent like its people to be able to plan their lives. Rumors flying around like crazy: being sold off, more planes, losing planes, etc, etc, etc. I really dont pay attention to it anymore you'll go nuts and they are almost never true. On the same token things can just as easily change. I was supposed to be furloughed a year ago and before it took effect I was recalled and flew my a$$ off. Hang in there.

Hey SP,
What's the latest on Knox Vegas. Should we be concerned over the lack of backfills for the folks going over to CLT?
Thanks!

I received an e-mail from PSA about about 2 month ago to send an app in, I did then, and shortly after I have a friend working at PSA recommend me. But never heard back from PSA. Is that because you stoped hiring or because I am not competitive, how can I find out?

We have stopped hiring, each situation is different to getting called or not but have friend resubmit internal recommendation as soon as you hear we are hiring....Stay tuned here, it will be posted!

We have enough people as of right now to fill at least 2 classes and that's losing half the people we have in the pool by then, and we will lose at least half. I'm realistic!

Good Luck,
PSACPSP

I did get another LOR (letter of Rec.) last week and it's still on my desk awaiting hiring. If you are "Buddy" I got it!

 

[flighttime]

So best guess on the next class is late January or early Feb. If you have enough poolies for two classes, any guess when the 2nd one would be?

 

[PoorJetDriver]

Let me check my crystal ball... I'm afraid the answer to that question is who knows.

 

[nethan]

I think the best answer you are going to get is "some time after the first one". You know, that's probably going to be true. Wow, something you can count on at this company!

 

[ThrottleJockey1]

Look at reality

If they are going to ask for more volunteer ferloughs and not enought pilots take them....what will they do? Remove the volunteer word! Are you sure you want to work at PSA, anyway? Tied for 2nd for the lowest reginal pay in industry and listen to pilots who work there, not too happy.

Dude you got some serious grammar and spelling issues. This place definetly has room for improvement but there are great people here aside from the bad apples that every company has.

At least we are out of the tunnel of bankruptcy unlike Comair, Pinnacle, Mesaba with their parent companies restructuring.

Now we just have to wait to see what hand will be dealt for us. It could be great or it could really suck.

There are other places that are hiring.

By the way, it wasn't voluntary furloughs, it was Voluntary (personal) leaves...their is a difference, read the contract, it has something to do with losing longevity (pay raises moved back.) I would have loved to have had a month off without pay when I was a line guy. Company was looking out for some people and look what happens. Open mouth, pull out foot.

Hey SP,

Thanks!

Heard today (11/16) in a recurrent class that they will backfill TYS with a few Captains...I am repeating what I heard, don't quote me on that!

Also said TYS will should be OK and do not for see downsizing...Just remember, it is the airline Industry, things change.

Any idea how many NWCRJ's are on the ramp over there? Haven't been there in a while but heard it's a bunch.
PSACPSP

 

[Crzipilot]

Last I counted there were 10 CRJ's there. Talking to another crew I ran into, there's a bunch on the ramp in MEM too....

 

[keydet96]

I counted 7 yesterday morning.

 

[CoATP]

Class Date Moved

Now in REALLY LATE Jan. [Called Feb. in most places] Any good rumors? Any bad rumors? Are they still interviewing or has the entire process ground to a halt?

 

[Stuka Luva]

listen to pilots who work there, not too happy.

I'm a pilot who works there, I'm pretty happy

 

[RUhiring?]

I'm a pilot who works there, I'm pretty happy

That's because you just upgraded, and don't have to fly with all of those damn J4J's anymore.....:laugh:

 

[nethan]

I haven't been here that long yet, but I've only flown with 1 captain that was in the 5% (true PSA too) They weren't even really in the 5%.. maybe almost 6%. So, no complaints and I'm hella long way from upgrading!

Maybe it's time to start those -900 rumors again (like we really need those on property).
