PSA Airlines Announces a $15,000 Sign-On Bonus for All New-Hire Pilots
June 13 2016 - 12:00PM
PSA Airlines today announced an important enhancement to its pilot
recruiting platform by rolling out a $15,000 sign-on bonus for all
new-hire pilots. This valuable improvement enriches PSA’s existing
top-notch employment opportunities which already offer the highest
quality of life in the regional industry and the only true
seniority-based pilot flow through program to American Airlines
(Nasdaq:AAL).
In addition to today’s expanded pilot bonus
program, PSA will also be enhancing the value of its employee
referral program for pilots by increasing the payout from $1,000 to
$5,000 for eligible participants and aims to further reward current
employees as ambassadors for the company to attract the best and
brightest future aviators. Employee referrals are an important part
of pilot recruitment and with this increase, PSA will be materially
compensating its workforce for helping identify and onboard future
pilot colleagues.
The long-term stability, unmatched career opportunities and
quality of life at PSA is something few regional carriers can
match. With a young and efficient fleet – including more than 50
brand-new large regional jets, a sustainable cost advantage versus
competitors and the experience as a reliable provider of service,
PSA is an airline that will remain a vitally important regional
provider for American.
PSA is building on the success of its sustained pilot
recruitment initiatives, including these two enhanced programs
announced today. Earlier this year, the airline implemented an
industry-leading Cadet Program which helps the most promising
future pilots make a smooth transition from the classroom at top
colleges, universities and flight schools to the cockpit and offers
various levels of support as the Cadet’s certifications, training
and experience evolves.
