Re: PSA (again)

Can any PSA folks say whether or not the 1500 total time requirement is an absolute one?

I've got just shy of 1500 and about 425 multi, 220 or so turbine (Beech 1900)...I realize this probably puts me at the bottom of the stack, but ... who knows, maybe I'm wrong?

Thanks!

Take care,

Its hard to say right now. The most recent classes have been filled with people that used to work here. Things may start to look good for people that have times such as yours in the very near future. In the past PSA has made exceptions to the mins. I think it has something to do with how much college you have, or something like that.?

It doesn't hurt to send a res. in anyway, you'll most likely get an application back and a call shortly after you send the application in.

Good Luck

airpiraterob, you're overqualified for SA

 

[Airpiraterob]

well....

metrodriver....

youd be suprised how not-overqualified i am compared to everyone else.

in todays market, either have stuff walked in or have alot of logged time. only way to go. since i dont know anyone anywhere.....well......at least i got the time. gotta keep flying tho.

Indigo furloughed 6 out of the 10 new hires last month. They obviously are not hiring at this point.

Yeah its true you need 1500hrs TT regardless. I interviewed on the 18th, and got the job, pending me reaching 1500hrs. I was told by Ken that there are several in my position and to keep them updated and when I reach 1500, they'll get me in next ground school. I was told by Capt. John Welsh (Chief Pilot for those unfamiliar) that the 1500hr requirement was because the sim they are using is now a Level C fidelity. I was really impressed by the family atmosphere there, now I just need to fly my butt off!!!

Good luck to all,

I will second the fact that everyone at PSA seems nice. I interviewed there in August and unfortunately did not get hired. However I will say that the interview was fair and I thought everyone was easy to get along with. I had under 1500 TT but had a good LOR.

that the 1500hr requirement was because the sim they are using is now a Level C fidelity.

This must be an in house requirement.. We run people with 500 hours through a level C sim all the time..

I sent my resume to CHQ regular old mail; got the call 5 days later. I think my 300+ 121 turbine may have helped the quick callback.

So actually who is hiring out there right now. Anyone?

A friend of mine just got on with Omni Air International. DC-10 FO. That outfit has worked out some lease arrangement for National's 75's as well, so I guess they will start some 75 classes. My buddy is pretty excited to be there.

For all of you that are sending in resumes for any US Air or United feeder, I would strongly reconsider. Look at how many of them are furloughing. No CHQ is not yet, but problems are coming for them too. Save this and mark my words. CHQ is really not doing that much DCI flying over all. I know a lot of thier pilots are going to say they are expanding with DCI. However how much do you really think they are going to expand you when they have 2 wholly owns. Once they can get enough Comair and ASA jets and pilots the CHQ deal will be out the the door. It may take a couple years, but it will happen. Think about job security when you are sending out your resumes, thats all i'm saying. Nothing is 100%, but go with your best bet.

Does anyone have more info on this company?

 

[ultrarunner]

Here is what he told me... prly much better info out there for ya if you're considering applying:

About 100 pilots. An all DC-10 fleet, with the previously mentioned 757's from National just coming on line.

PFE's crew that seat.

Got some sweat-heart lease deal on the 75's.

Lot's of long-haul stuff. Military lift going on right now also.

Can live anywhere you want. If I recall, you need to be withing a "few hours" of an airport. The company airmails you to the plane, positive-space'.

Didn't really catch how bidding and reserve works. But I'm sure someone will chime in with that info.

I had seen previous posts that they required previous "heavy-time" and loads of it, etc... but that's not the case with my friend. I suspect that's for new-hire captains, which they are hiring.

that's about all I know.
