PSA Schedules & Commuting
#11
Hey I am an KORL (keep our 172 there) guy too who would love to commute from MCO but is WAY hesitant of Mesa...
Best schedules I have heard of to commute from MCO are - EWR, IAH, ATL
I need some more twin time (1380TT 80ME) any of you MCO guys got any suggestions.... Thanks

They sell 100 and 50 hr blocks. Ask Mike if he would be willing to let you buy a 20hr block. It would be easier to go there in person and speak with him. You'll get the gate keeper from hell if you try calling. PM me if you have any questions.
BTW, Florida is aweful to commute from. Even positive space flying is painfull.

av8tr - thanks I may do that... I ate lunch at FPR yesterday at the Tiki... where is Ari on the field?
Noleone - try Capflying.com that is a decent club - way less costly than Air Orlando... they have a Grumman Cougar that is about $100 and hour dry - we could split that and build some time...

I'm going to the 10/1 class with PSA and live near DTW. Friends at NWA say that flights to CLT are full of commuters as well, so you may have problems in both directions.
Have you heard about reserve time at DAY? I'm thinking about bidding it but would like to know how long I would be on reserve.

Florida Flyer, I would certainly appreciate anything you can send me. I suspected the long wait for CLT, so I am going to try and build some seniority out of DAY and then see what happens. Since I live just north of Detroit, DAY works well for me anyhow. For what it is worth, look at TYS (Knoxville). My NWA friends say that the trips out of Detroit to TYS are usually fairly open and don't have a lot of commuters.

FlyingDog, I'm not 100% certain about this, but my understanding is that each airline has it's own upgrade criteria - sometimes multiple criteria. For example, Pinnacle has a "Pilot Mentoring" program that allows for an upgrade at 1500 hours as long as you have 1000 in a Pinnacle CRJ. Otherwise you are looking at about 2500. The issue is low-time pilots (I know someone hired into Pinnacle at about 194 hours) and that, if you consider it, by the time he hits 1500 hours, he will have almost 1300 in the CRJ and he already has his ATP written. That is just as much time, if not more, as someone who hires in at 1500 hours after CFI'ing and then upgrades at 2500.
I will leave the discussion of low-time pilots to other posts, but 1300 hours as an F/O should be reasonable time to consider an upgrade, regardless of what your numbers were when you started.
Good luck!
