The stock of Pacific Southwest Airlines, the 78%-owned airline subsidiary of PSA Inc., enjoyed the largest percentage gain of any San Diego-based company last week, according to Irving Katz, director of research at San Diego Securities.

The airline, which had hovered around $7 since going public on July 24, last week jumped 1 7/8 to close at $9. Some industry analysts expect the airline to eventually be taken over by American Airlines or Northwest Orient Airline.

PSA Inc., the parent corporation that wants to change its name to allay confusion with the airline, was up 2 7/8.
