PSA Airlines Reviews

Pros

Specific managers are good at creating an engaging environment for their specific departments but it is not consistant throughout the entire organization.

Cons

Again, specific managers are good at creating an engaging environment for their specific departments but it is not consistant throughout the entire organization. The other downside is that outside of pilot or flight attendant training, ongoing skills training or recurrency is not valued. There is no emphasis on keeping up with current business skills or trends.

Advice to Senior Management

Training and skill updating should be valued otherwise employees and their contributions become stagnant. Managers should be given more forcus on the soft skills such as how to effectively communicate with their employees and even communicate with their peers. Too many managers are bullies and try to run roughshod over everyone else.

Pros

It's a job. You get flight time. It gives you experience necessary to get a better paying job. After 10 years you get a decent 401.

Cons

10 year old contract. Lots of unpaid working hours. Management motiviates thru fear. Training dept is considered a testing dept with pilots. No extra pay for working holidays, no credit for working them as well. Hotels are chosen on price only. Location of many are in not very desirable locations. We get paid 72hrs/month but work 50 plus/week.

Advice to Senior Management

Tripping over a quarter to save a dime isn't working. If you want us to care about on time performance and fuel burn then you need to care about us. Wearing out employees isn't going to make us more productive.

Pros

You will get your paycheck on time, maybe flight benefits if there are any seats. I have to say you never hear from your boss and that ant all bad..

Cons

I have to agree with the other person that the company does step over dollars to pick up pennies. The airplanes are NASTY.... The crew rooms are insufficient and very uncomfortable, Scheduling has to be the most unprofessional group of people I have ever talked to on the phone. Managements attitude toward complaints is very degrading they will tell you if you don’t like it they have a stack of applications on there desk to replace you. The training department doesn’t train they test. If you try to upgrade and don’t make it they fire you even if you were a good First Officer. I think I could go on all day...

Advice to Senior Management

Time to jump to the 21st century!! Quit using 1960s management stile of managing with fear. Take some Leadership and Managerial courses. Quit using the contract as an excuse you know you can do more than the contract but you cant not do less. TREAT EMPLOYEES LIKE THEY HAVE VALUENOT LIKE THAT ARE WORTHLESS. Remember fuel at $4 plus per gallon your employees are cheaper than fuel.. Its time for Keith Houk to go!

Pros

Travel benefits when you have time.

Cons

No leadership and inconsistencies in management.

Advice to Senior Management

There is no leadership at PSA. At least not in my department. Every department is important. Take some leadership classes.

Pros

The friends you can make,networking opportunites and of course Travel benefits!

Cons

poor working conditions, poor quality of life, bad hotels and you can easily fly anywhere between 18-30 flights a week it can seriously deteriorate your health as a flight attendant especially if you're a woman.by far the flight attendant pay is horrific considering you manage all aspects of cabin operations and cabin safety.

Advice to Senior Management

decrease turnover and pay higher salaries to keep quality employees
