PSA vs CommutAir?

[BayouMLU]

Perks to PSA- Overtime is almost always available, not too hard to get a relatively desirable schedule due to high turnover and folks wanting to work weekends for travel/avoiding management, jet 121 experience, route structure is frequently challenging due to high demand and wx impacts. Promotion to the coordinator position remains plausible due to high turnover and expected increase in fleet over the next year.
Negatives- Management as everyone else has said, many sick calls and junior man situations, poor training- even though I believe due to recent debacles this should improve, general poor morale.

Also contract negotiations are ongoing and the rumor is management wants to combat the high turnover with a solid pay increase. I believe the only other similar regional paying lower is mesa- starting right now is 14.45.
If you are looking for a foot into the door this isnt a bad option, but i certainly would recommend other regionals like skywest.

Mesa starts at $14.00.

This can be a double edged sword. You might be gaining seniority at your regional but if you don't want to make the regional a career, those people leaving above you are going to always be senior to you at the major they went to. Turnover at most majors is pretty light outside of retirements or the rare promotion. At AA and Southwest, most managers these days are not hired from the dispatch group so you only move up with retirements or desks opening up for workload relief. With consolidation, the lists are pretty long so the longer you wait or need to wait to go to a major, the bigger the hill you will have to climb seniority wise.

Eh, I'm not in a position to get to a major yet, so I'll just enjoy getting off the 2am shifts.

Don't forget that after you work at PSA, you'll be an expert delay coder. After all, that's your number one priority. Forget all those diversions and reroutes... its of utmost importance you code those DQT and DQC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's QTC dangit! God forbid you put DQC...you'd be getting a stern talking to!

Congratulations!!! You have already moved up a spot or two in seniority. As the max exodus continues.... a total of 7 people have either left or will be leaving over the course of three weeks. Before you know it, you may be running the place.... the manager may be near a total mental collapse at this point.
