TSA Agents Want to be Airline Pilots?

[Princedietrich]

Most of the TSA I've encountered are flunkies in the truest sense!

Flunkies? I'm honestly surpised that most of them even have opposable thumbs.

If they do ask you about being a pilot.

Well here is your first lesson:

For starters you don't ever want to climb on Pitot Static and Tat probes. Lesson complete, so that will be $50 for your first lesson.

sad thing is there is probobly more soon to be furloughed airline pilots asking them about becoming a TSA agent than the other way around...

I'd rather lick matchsticks. Or mine for diamonds in Lesotho.

Alright, I'll bite. I never met a TSA agent that would go $100,000 in debt to get a job that pays $25,000/year. I have met plenty of pilots in the exact same scenario, and most of them are happy because they are flying a 170 or 900. They can't support themselves yet alone a family, but they're happy. Apparently, that is all that matters in this world.

I really dislike the TSA, but sometimes I feel that we are just as low as them if not lower. Look at some of the grammar and spelling on this board. We're not exactly the most intelligent people in the world here.

The absolute best post I have ever seen on this website.

For a fun time, just hum this little tune the next time you're going through security.

I know a few furloughed guys who went to work for the TSA, but not as screeners. Seems like a lot of the middle management positions at TSA pay pretty well, and being a Gubment agency, there are a LOT of middle management positions.

Bump.

Exactly, the truth sometimes hurts.

Use Firefox, it figures out the spelling for you.
