PSA Recalls

[Long-Gonner]

PSA will be recalling all pilots currently on furlough during the month of January. The company expects to take delivery of at least 9 airplanes (CRJ701's) between Feburary and April of 2005. With this news, all downgrades and additional furloughs have been cancelled.

Heard the same thing 3 times now as of yesterday. Here's hoping.....I didn't realize before how much I hate waiting on cargo.

 

[mamba20]

Just wandering, is there a CPT still there named C. Rahn?? Give me a PM. Thanks.

 

[Smoking Man]

No.

I think it was in early 02 or so when his employment came to an end.


Man I feel sick....................................................................

 

[Weasil]

Let me get a hell yeah

Whew!

What a load off! No more offering to smother your steak with Sassy Sauteed Onions, Mushrooms, and Jack Cheese for $1.99! It's amazing how big a kick in the @ss it can be to have a job you always wanted and have it snatched out from under you ten days before your checkride...This has been the most humbling experience of my life. I will never again b!tch about a 5am show time as long as I don't have to upsell a sidekick of ribs for just $5.99 EVER AGAIN! Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone...see ya Jan 3rd guys!

hey guys thats great news, just wondering whats the current upgrade time like now for a newhire? Anything new going on with the j4j guys?

 

[Weasil]

yeah I guess there will be a call to APL guys and gals to offer them a position. By rights I think they can staff half the pilot positions on the 9 new jets although nobody expects any response.

 

[Speedbird34]

All the J4J hiring into PSA has been concluded. Finished..Finito..concluded..no more calls to J4J guys if not on the previous list offered jobs. Welcome back boys and girls things will keep getting better. Still hoping we get the rest of our 30+ jets

 

[captboy2001]

how many pilots r at psa?......with furloughs back........

 

[svcta]

There were 575 before the furloughs. So it just depends on how many come back.

 

[Weasil]

Speedbird,

I sat down in a meeting with the Director of training the other day and he said that they do have to put out a call to the APL (j4j) pilots because this is a new order of airplanes. If you no more than he does than I would be very surprised.

 

[Crzipilot]

Weasil, your right. An offer for 20 capt positions went out to APL guys the other day. Calling through the list to start Dec 8th I think. they have still had guys taking capt positions but I believe they already had a last call some months ago for f/o positions. So, if there's anyone on the APL list that wants to come over to a capt slot they have another chance. F/O's it's closed and no more offerings to APL guys. Now I do believe they basically gone through the list, and that last offereings they barely filled. So this time around, if they don't fill all 20 spots, they will call Everyone on the list again, and put out a final notice. If after the final notice the 20 slots aren't filled, then it closes and no more APL guys will come over as capt or f/o.
So the j4j issues are almost over and all new spots will be held by PSA f/o's upgrading and new hires off the street. Look for somewhere around the 15th of dec. to see if they fill all 20 spots, or not.

 

[Weasil]

Actually Dec 20th will be their class date if any J4J come
