PSA Hiring/Training Updates?

Flyinghigh09 · March 4th, 2008, 14:24

I recently submitted my resume to PSA but no word yet. Does anyone have any new information about hiring, training, etc..

Thank!

PSA is still hiring right now. They have a lot of captain upgrades going on right now so that has slowed the new hire classes a little bit. They were going to have three classes in march but I believe they have postponed two of those classes. But then again that might have changed since I was there a little over two weeks ago. It took me about 7 weeks before I got a call back for the interview.

Everything SC has said is right on the money. I interviewed today and was told the exact same thing.

Thanks for the update guys!

belliott, did they talk to you about class dates at your interview? I have heard class dates not before May or June?

Also has the written test changed? mypilotcareers.com has a new and old version. Are they still using the new version?

The guy I work with was hired and assigned the April 21st class about a month ago - He just got word that this class got bumped to May 5.

The new hire sim is running 1.5 to 2 months behind. And because they pay you full guarantee from day one of training, they don't want to have people just sitting around. That is the reason for the delay in assigning ground school start dates.

The problem of course is (like always) we are going to end up short FOs over the end of the summer. It's like clockwork around here.

In the interview they said class dates would be for June as they are running people through upgrade training right now. I don't know what mypilotcareers.com has.... as I didn't use it.... but I looked at willflyforfood.cc.... it didn't have the questions and answers from the test if I recall correctly but it did offer advice on what to study... good luck.

aviation interviews gouge is spot on. They havent changed the test to my knowledge, and I think they like to see if you have gone to the trouble to find it.
