HELP!!!

TheOneMarine · December 31st, 2007, 17:02

Hey guys, as I'm sure you've heard, I have an interview with ASA on the 9th of Jan. It's my top choice for regional. Today I got the email inviting me to the PSA interview on the 8th! PSA is only 1 day and ASA starts at 1300 on the 9th. What should I do?!

Did you not say "ASA is your first choice." Then you should go for ASA.

A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush. Unless the 2nd bird is PSA. That bird should be put in a garbage bag, beat to death with a shovel, and put out of it's misery.

Best of luck at ASA.

Ask PSA if they have another day for you to interview as it conflicts with your schedule. Regionals are pretty good about giving you another date if the one they chose does not work. Go to ASA, interview, and if you don't get your top choice PSA is already lined up a week or two later....

Wow, this just made my new years, lol. Thanks for the advice everyone. I went ahead and returned the email asking for the next available date.

ASA #1 Choice......on the 9th

PSA #? choice on the 8th.

Go to both. Maybe PSA would be better after further review.

If it comes down to it PSA could be a bit of a interview prep.

I would say do both.

av8sean · December 31st, 2007, 18:24

You can always just buy a confirmed ticket to Atlanta on the evening of the 8th after the PSA interview to make sure you're there for the ASA one the next day... CLT-ATL isn't that far.

I have been in the EXACT situation that you are in! Wow! I ended up taking PSA after all the dust had settled. It fit beter with what I want to do and where I wanted to be. Both good airlines, IMHO.

PSA is very good about re-scheduling interviews, if needed.

Just because you go to an interview--doesn't mean you have to accept the job--see what they have to offer--maybe you won't get the ASA job. Better to choose between 2 than to not have a chance for either!

ComplexHiAv8r · January 1st, 2008, 11:10

Can you pull the PSA up earlier? Definitely do both. Don't be surprises when you list the good/bad that PSA ends up on top. I only say that because you said ASA was your top pick, but wasn't another one before it???

Hey hey hey, that was another situation Tracy

. That other wasn't a top choice, it was a desperate ploy to get away from someone

, lol. ASA was always on top. But I am going to both. I'll just have to wait an extra week to go to the PSA interview. I emailed her back and everyone says PSA is really good about rescheduling the interviews.

Theres a shock, he's got to find his head from his happy place first. I highly doubt that a 500 hour pilot with 36 multi is going to be insured in an Eclipse Jet. Did you ever go through with upgrading to the SR22?

XLR99 · January 1st, 2008, 14:38

Is Alpha out of the running now?
Anyone up for beers on Friday?

No, not out. But haven't heard anything back from them and they said I wouldn't until the new year. I think the CP is on vacation till the 6th last I heard. I'm up for it if it's later in the evening. Ask Tracy too.

Friday evening could work.
Going over a few things with the accountant on the SR22 idea. I'm a little concerned on availability. I like knowing there is a plane in the hanger. Part of the reason I didnt move forward with the Adam partnership.

I bet he can get insurance, it will just be more then the Eclipse jet. Remember they wanted me to buy into a Cirrus jet!

I still think the the VLJ market is going to have to self insure like the early sport bike companies.

Well, you got me there. Self insuring will be a whole other animal.
