[edit] Reward for Eagle Scouts

PSA, for a time, offered a free scenic flight around San Diego County to all Scouts who had earned the rank of Eagle in the past year. I (MWS) went in 1977.

[edit] Who remembers ...

... "Proud Bird with the Golden Tail" and the cocommicant "We really move our tails for you..." that feminists saw as an invitation to Sexual harassment? Rlquall 02:12, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Name changed to Jetstream to Preserve PSA Trademarks!?

"Following the merger with USAir, the PSA name was given to Jetstream International Airlines in order to preserve the PSA name and copyrights."

That makes no sense to me. How does the name "Jetstream" preserve PSA copyrights. The other airlines that were merged in kept their names as commuter airlines to preserve their copyright. -newkai t-c 03:38, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

There was an airline named Jetstream that US Air Group owned before it bought PSA. When it bought PSA it changed the name of Jetstream to PSA, so no one else could use the PSA name, since US Air was still "using" the PSA name. —Cliffb 05:43, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Broadcasting

I removed this section:

The company set up a subsidiary called "PSA Broadcasting" in the mid seventies. It acquired stations in several California markets like Sacramento, San Jose, Los Angeles, and San Diego. Two were acquired together from Biola Bible College, 107.5 KBBI Los Angeles and 102.9 KBBW San Diego. For several years the stations were running beautiful music or "Easy Listening" formats as KEZC, KEZR, KEZL and in LA KLVE (which used KLVE but had asked for KEZD but snagged a complaint from KEZY in Anaheim)better known as K-LOVE. At other times the stations tied their etters to the company name as KPSA, KPSC, KPSD, and KPSJ. KLVE in LA eventually was sold to KLVE Broadcasting Company, purchased 1020 KTNQ from Storer Broadcasting, and ran as Spanish stations for many years, beforee selling to Heftel Broadcasting (rolled up eventually into Univision Radio). KEZL in San Diego wound up in the hands of Gannett Company's KSDO. ASI Communications got KEZC in sacramento.

We really need a cite for this. I find it doubtful that an airline started a broadcasting company. Plus this whole section needs cleaned up, if it can be cited. —Cliffb 15:47, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
