Sure they do
Try looking at this link for some more information on interviews with TSA and the simulator equipment they're using to screen out pilots.

Hi!
This question is being asked on www.tsalounge.com, with no answer yet.
They did have a sim eval, but it was in the old HoJos building, when that was TSA HQ and the sim co. was in there also.
Now, TSA is in the old TWA building. From what I've read, I don't think there is a sim any longer, but nothing definitive from current TSA pilots.
The old sim was pretty complicated, and the sim prep was VERY helpful, unless U really had your sh1t together.
Good luck!

"why in the f%#k would you want to go there!!"
Dash:
WTF? In this state of the industry you expect someone to turn down a job at ANY 121 airline? Especially one with industry standard (or better) pay and NO concessions when MOST other airlines are signing concessions. TSA has jets on firm order and probable growth.
It's not the best airline--and anyone there will tell you that--but it's not the worst either. It's a good place to spend a few years, build some JET time, and move on when the industry is a little better.
Anyone that would ask such a stupid question when the industry is in such a dump is ignorant beyond help.

Dash 4 Cash, I work "there"!
I know it's not the best place to be but it's one of the better places to be right now! We are getting more jets with most code-shares, we have a descent relationship with management now, and we are hiring CQFO's...............how much better can it get?
We may not be the best company as far as reputation carries, but we have improved immensely, and will continue to improve!
I thought about leaving here twice, never did, but it turns out that the other comps. I would have gone to would have furloughed me(for the third time), so I am happy to be where I am now!
good luck to the new guy's!

Hi!
I've had 3 flying jobs. The one I'm at now I like the best. TSA was my 2nd choice, with the AF being my third choice. TSA isn't SWA, but I liked it, and I'd go back if I was furloughed and needed a flying job.

PS-TSA lately is a LOT different than TSA 3-5 years ago. From what I understand, it has improved a lot in the last 2+ years.

Hey medic
Where in the f#*k are you going to go in a couple of years? You will be stuck at that Sh*^hole thinking your an "airline pilot" making $16k a year w 10 days off, on a good line. It is going to take alot more that a couple of years to recover from this BS sizzle chest. My advice to anyone would be to get into somthing else there are alot of ways to make money.

Hi!
Actually, your first year, with perdiem, you make about $25K. When I went through they also paid well in training (better than ACA, Comair, etc.).
The minimum days off for Reserve is 10. Lineholder min. is 11.
I know it used to be a lot worse. Maybe you were at TSA when it was bad. Sorry.

Actually Dash:
3rd year FO on the SMALLEST turboprop we fly is about 26,000 (WITHOUT per diem). Not good, but a far cry from the 18,000 you ignorantly quote. I'm pretty junior and average 14 days off. 10 is the min days off for RESERVE and 11 is min for line holders.
I'm not saying that this is "good" by anyone's standards, but if you're going to make statements about our pay/days off/ per diem you may want to educate yourself a little better, lest you come off as a complete idiot.

That sounds about like it was back when I was there c.1996 except you could figure around 20K + or - a few K's depending on how much you wanted to work. The only reason I worked there is because they didn't charge pilots for training which I refused to do. But Cliff.....25K for a year with 10 days off a month and $200 a week during training is not "good". The unnecessary and constant "Management vs. Pilot's" battle that goes on there, while not exclusive to TSA, is a pain in the ass. Most of us just want to go to work and do our job and earn a living.atpcliff said:

Dash 4 Cash is just worried you'll be senior to him/her when ALG furloughs again and he/she starts working for TSA in RIC. Maybe life at a wholly-owned is so wonderful that working anywhere else would be unacceptable.
Dash- have fun watching medic and ces152 fly the rj into all those destinations you used to service.
