On a positive note, there is usually one really long (24+ hour) overnight on the "crappy" trips. With the right overnight and a fun crew (and some restraint) it can make for a good time.

PSA has hired a few more sim instructors recently. But, to be honest, we are way overstaffed when it comes to sim and ground instructors. I don't know if the company is planning something, or it is just wishful thinking.
If you PM me names, I can tell you if it is true, but I doubt it. Most all of our instructors are former Comair pilots, and a few guys that left the line and now working in the sims.
Right now, PSA sim instructors are having to fly the line at least 4-6 days a month, sometimes more, because we have way too many instructors for the number of new hires.

It is possible.
In the last few months, PSA has hired about half a dozen ground instructors (ground school/IPT's/systems) and a couple sim instructors.
Personally, I have only flown with one guy that came to PSA from Air Wisconsin. I am sure that he got fired from AWAC, and was not at PSA long either. I am sure that he is the exception to the rule at AWAC. Everyone else that I have met from there has been great.

Yes, I'm tired of getting called twice a day for junior manning when I'm currently on my primary vacation. I too like someone said above have been getting calls in the middle of the night for early shows and a most likely a double deadhead back. If I didn't know any better, judging by my call log one would assume I'm on reserve again with the amount of calls from atw.
