PSA Airlines increases pay rates for several Dayton-based maintenance roles
DAYTON, Ohio, Oct. 6, 2025 – PSA Airlines, a wholly owned subsidiary of American Airlines Group and leading regional airline, today announced it is increasing pay rates for select, Dayton-based roles within maintenance for new hires and those in their first or second year with the company. This pay increase applies to aircraft maintenance technicians (AMTs), maintenance training instructors (MTIs), inspectors and maintenance leads.
