Heard people coming out of interviews saying that the interviewers are mentioning that upgrade at PSA is 1.5 years.
When you are being interviewed they are looking for honest hard working skilled professionals. Wouldn't it be great if those on the other side of the table were that themselves?
Here is the truth:
We have F/O's that were hired in Aug 2001. That's over 5 years. How can anyone upgrade in a year and a half? Ain't gonna happen. Go to skywest.
You will sit reserve for up to 2 years. And reserve is about as much fun as going to the dentist a couple times a week.
You will work holidays, not get paid a dime extra for that.
You will stay in some of the worst hotels that airlines have ever stayed in.
The microhotel in PNS is half step above a trailer park. Your life will consist of living in industrial parks and paying $$$ for airport food.
Your first year pay will be $19,000 because you will be on reserve.
Your second year pay will be $25,000 because you will be on reserve.
If you come here, do your financial planning on those numbers. Could be higher if 90 f/o's quit and you get a line.
Even old school Captains are telling people that they will be better off going to Mesa. At least there you would upgrade.
It is a sad sad day that Mesa is a better place to be. Way to go T.K. Job Done!
