Pros

PSA Airlines’ initial training is well-structured, fair, and designed to set pilots up for success. Expectations are clearly defined through standardized flows, callouts, and profiles, which remove guesswork and help reduce workload early on. Systems training is practical and closely aligned with how pilots are evaluated, making studying efficient and straightforward. The instructors are supportive and genuinely want you to pass, creating a positive training environment rather than a washout culture. Simulator sessions are challenging but fair, with consistent profiles and no “gotcha” scenarios. Strong class camaraderie and teamwork make the process feel collaborative, not competitive. Overall, PSA provides a solid, professional training experience that builds confidence, prepares pilots well for the checkride, and offers strong long-term career momentum.

Cons

Training moves quickly, and falling behind early can be difficult to recover from. The program is very structured, which leaves little flexibility for different learning styles or deviations from SOPs. Simulator availability can be limited at times, and CRJ systems—especially electrical and automation—can feel dense and mentally demanding. The pace and evaluation environment create real pressure, and extended time away from home during training can be challenging, particularly for those with family or financial stress.

Pros

The company is full of smart, hardworking and knowledgable people who understand what needs to be done to make things happen.

Cons

For some reason, even with the latest regime change, none of the upper management appear to see or listen to improvements that could improve operations or employee retention. The chain of command goes both ways and maybe the information is going up. Maybe they hear but they do not listen to the reasoning- even for items that would not cost anything.
