I got a phone call today from an individual who will remain nameless. This person told me about a memo that came out on the 24th from Richard Pfennig, the CEO of PSA. So, of course I had to get my hands on it. Fax machines are just so technologically magical!
In distilled form, it states that:
1)PSA is closing pilot and FA bases in PIT and CAK,
2)105 pilots and 60 FA's will be able to bid another base,
3)About 125 PIT CSA's should expect furloughs,
4)Line maintenance in PIT will be phased out and moved to CLT, and
5)PSA's soon-to-be all CRJ fleet will be concentrated in PHL and CLT to support mainline operations.
All of this is to occur November 1st.
So, it looks as though no one is safe from the Focus City Slide, including the lowest paid group at US (PSA Customer Service).
It is interesting to note that when PSA started operations out of STL and SRQ, no one offered those same CSA's an opportunity to rebase themselves at those stations. Of course, it would make sense to have trained personnel at those stations, which may be why it wasn't offered.
Well, just like their mainline forebears, now W/O employees will get to enjoy the fruits of the poisoned tree. I reccommend syrup of Ipecac, folks. It will help to induce the vomiting neccessary to make you feel better.
