Need a Trans States Sponsor

[WIPilot]

35off, agreed, commuting is always hugely better than not commuting, but if one has to commute I understand TS is non-CASS and non-commutable schedules, right?

As far as I am aware, TSA does have cass now...unless I read incorrectly?

Just fax your resume directly to TSA and they will contact you. When i worked there they said they pay more attention to resumes faxed directly to them. But why on Earth would you want to work there? 1500 will get you an interview anywhere. Take my advice as a former waterskier STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!

If you get hired at TSA you'll need an AA sponser not a TSA sponser when they hire you.

Hopefully the airlines aren't holding your previous training failures against you guys...but even in this market, they may be doing just that.

TSA is CASS now...have been for a few months now (finally). Anyways like it was said before just go ahead and fax your stuff to TSA I'd say you will probably get a call a few days (if not hours) after they get the fax.

If you live near ORD apply to SkyWest. They need pilots badly right now (think 30 f/o's short every month, just in Chicago). Instead of just putting your resume in, contact them directly or better yet, go to the open house! It's just HR interview stuff, but they'll often get you in for a real interview VERY soon after that. Not only would you be based at home, you would have a better schedule, flying more, with more time off, and more pay. Seems like an obvious choice to go to either SkyWest, Republic, or Shuttle.

I don't think anyone really gave the answer he was looking for.....how DOES one get a TSA sponsor? WHY does one need a TSA sponsor?

So if you don't honestly KNOW someone at TSA, it's ok to just have some random TSA employee give you a rec? I fail to see how this helps in the application process. I would feel strange about asking someone I don't know to give me a golden seal of approval when they really don't know me.

Interesting.

I agree: just bypass the airlineapps.com and fax direct.

This is the first time I have heard of someone wanting to come to TSA and need a "sponsor" If you dont know anyone at TSA then my guess is that it will be pretty hard to get one. I know I probably wont be handing out any sponsorships to people I don't know. Anyways go to www.transstates.net and then click on careers on the left...scroll way down and you will see the person and number to fax the resume to.
