PSA and Republic

[jayd1038]

I feel bad for the PSA DXers, anytime I have any interaction with them they seem to be so overwhelmed and swamped. On a few occasions there was no release even at D30, we had to call, and sure enough nobody was working the release as it was thrown on the desk of someone who was off sick. Not to mention a lot of times when the release is pretty late the dispatcher working it always says "I was actually just sending it" or something along those lines, poor guys you can tell they are just overworked and have too much on their plates.

Here's what PSA's dispatch manager has to say about that...

Just recently left there. Can confirm that MOST guys there were over worked. There were a couple who just refused to do their releases on time.

I implore you to see the previous thread about PSA vs Commutair for specifics on why PSA is a terrible regional. The main issues revolve around training, overwork, poor leadership and constant turnover. Delay codes are more important than dispatch- don't expect to become a well rounded dispatcher from here which may be part of the reason for a lack of ppl moving onto majors.
If I had the choice I would 100% recommend Republic...unless of course OP3 and QTC turn you on.
If, however, you are looking to get into the industry use PSA to obtain experience and move on ASAP, only if you have to. PM if you want so more info.

Ohhh yea OP3 OP2 MT0 MT1 OP0 Those are the best! (Sarcasm)

There is NO training at PSA....you will be instructed on how to tap tap send. It's definitely not a good place for your first dispatch job. When the dispatch manager doesnt even know the 1-2-3 rule, where they still run the place like its part 135...yeah theres some serious problems.

There I fixed it for you!
