  Whatever Happened to Alaskan Airlines -- Remembering PSA, AirCal, Western

  PSA Airlines - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
PSA Airlines (IATA: n/a, ICAO: JIA, and Callsign: Blue Streak) is a regional airline based in Dayton, Ohio that flies under US Airways Express for US Airways.
PSA began as Vee Neal Airlines which was renamed to Jetstream International Airlines (JIA) in December, 1983.
On November 1, 1995 USAir renamed the recently acquired JIA to PSA in order to protect the trademark of Pacific Southwest Airlines, which was once a large carrier on the West Coast that USAir had acquired.

 Catch the Smile of Pacific Southwest Airlines   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-14)
Even today loyal PSA workers keep web sites of the fun times they had at the airline sometimes called "Poor Sailor’s Airline" (using the PSA initials and playing off the home base of the airline, San Diego, which also features Marine and Naval bases).
PSA flight attendants, being legendary California girls, were decked out in hot pants and miniskirts to match the fun-loving style of the airline.
PSA was thus able to recruit and train pilots for its fledgling company.

 AIN Online April 2002: AFA complaints over cabin searches falling on deaf ears   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-14)
While major airlines use specially trained personnel to search cabins for weapons or other suspicious contraband, in the interest of cost efficiency regional airlines typically require their cabin crews to conduct the searches.
On March 8 PSA flight attendants distributed leaflets to passengers in the main terminal at Pittsburgh International Airport in an effort to raise public awareness of the issue.
The demonstrations continue because, according to the AFA, not only have the airlines failed to respond to their concerns, the FAA and the newly formed Transportation Security Agency (TSA) say they have not found sufficient evidence of violations to launch an official investigation.

But cost isn't the only consideration: the airlines also want someone else to handle the logistics and management hassles involved and to convert the financial complexities of the process into a consistent, regularly recurring expense.
