For whatever reason to some of you,I could careless about how bad you hate TSA. Just about every other regional out their someone always has something negative to say. So forgetabout!!!!!! All regionals out their are stepping stone's to many of us. Therefore all the negative info does me no good, infact it would be nice if some of you can shed some light on dealing with the cons and making the best out of the pros.

Don't Worry Be Happy!:beer:

Thats the exact attitude that makes TSA such a sucky place to be. Ask the people that got hired here in the mid 90s how the "stepping stone" attitude worked out. There is a good chance that you will get stuck where ever you get hired for up to 10 years. Anyways this is one of the reasons that we will fight hard for big improvements in the CBA.

You are right all regionals suck. However TSA has a higher level of suck than most. If you must get STL then check out CHQ. They are a regional so they suck to but as someone put it the other day "CHQ is the best of the worst". The cons here are hard to deal with. If you can manage to make it past the reserve stage it will suck a little less. We have 10 days off on rsv and 11 days off with a line. You might gain lots of senoirty at first, but wouldnt count on a fast upgrade. First off you have like 350 hours listed on your profile so you will be here as an FO for at least 2-3 years. And then be here another year or 2 in the left seat for a total time of about 5 years. Why come to a really sucky place for that long when you can just go to a sucky place. Not really any way to deal with the pros of this place cause really the only pros are the crews. The pilot group here is a great bunch of people and there are some times where its almost a shame the trip is over because the crew was so good. The other crewmembers are about the only thing here that will keep you sane. Cons include the CBA which we are working on. Management that will do anything they can to save money. Oh yeah and the whole GJ thing.

You say you dont care how bad you will be treated so to me it sounds like you have SJS. If you do decide to come here then I dont want to hear you complain when I fly with you and its your day 6 and you just got JR'd into another round trip.

Ture indeed! But some of you Maverick pilots got Big watches, Big Ego's, but most little important have little D****! So maybe that's where all the hate comes from. Some of you are really good at taking the Fun out of flying. No wounder why we have a pilot shortage!!!!!!

Don't Worry Be Happy!!!!!:beer:

Wow, you really know what you're talking about. How long have you been in the regionals for? You speak of pilot shortages like it's a bad thing. Take economics 101 and you'll see why it might be a good thing for the industry.

 

[Hawkster54]

Yeah and they also just opened up 10 new bases, they love commuters now, the benefits are now better than any government job, the attrition stoped, there will never be street captains, the new crew room is NOT a trailor, contract will be done next week, GoJEt is giving all of their routes back to TSA, Frank was wrong, they are getting more flying, they got all the good overnight Hotels back, Prefbid starts next week, they cancelled all JR. Manning, no DH to and from IAD has been ammended to the contract, the crew schedulers now are required to have a high school education, and TSA is now "the" regional to be at and RAH, XJET, and Skywest are going crazy now because they wont be able to get any qualified applicants. SHi*why did I leave that place!

The writing is on the wall, anyplace that hires 25 250 hour guys a month for attrition only. You should be able to decipher that for yourself and not rely on the opinions of the people who actually work or who have worked there! Good CAll!

I agree....this is some funny S**T!!


Oh I almost forgot....TSA SUCKS

Do not come to TSA. Very low QOL, ancient contract, gOJET, HK, TSA management, etc, etc should all be good reasons to re-think your decision.


If you come here, I will stop by the crewroom in STL to tell you I told you so as you get owned by scheduling. Actually, I might have to got to RIC to do that since you will be sitting out there for a 4 day stretch.

I just sat in IAD for 11hrs with a broken AC. Wasn't given a hotel, GDO was the next day. I was told tough, you time out and limo yourself home. So please come here. That wasn't negative just truth.

 

[Smarta$$]

I just heard TSA new mins are 250/25! Just would like to know what the QOL/upgrade times are like? Also how easy is it to get STL and are you guys CASS yet?

P.S. Please,Please,Please No negative info about how much you hate TSA, I Heard EHOUGH!uke:

I hated TSA. That place is as bad as people say.

same thing happen to me repeatedly at TSA. For 3 whole months it felt like I lived at the A-Gates in IAD, I slept in the mesa/Republic crew room more than I did at home, I ate more meals at Famiglia more than I ate at my own kitchen table, I saw all my friends from training in the A gates more than I saw my friends and family at home. I even started to talk with an "istani" accent after listening to those idiotic gate agents passenger announcements over and over and over and over and over. yeah TSA was awesome, good game.

 

[temcgrew]

I worked for TSA for three years and thought it sucked, then I left and now I know it sucks!!!

 

[EWRJ0225]

I wonder if any of the management from good ole TSA reads these forums?

Sure, they are the ones that are trying to put a good spin on the gojet situation. They should know by now that gojet is the main cause of the record breaking attrition.

Hi!

Isn't Great Lakes worse than Mesa?

What about Big Sky? I know very little about them, but I don't think they're great.

Is Pinnacle worse than Mesa?

The official mins at Pinnacle and USA Jet are lower than TSA:
Comm-MEL
Instr-Airplane

USA Jet is a pretty good place to work, in my opinion (I was at TSA).

Holy crap!! thank you everyone here, you've made me realize I did make the right decision going to a scheduled cargo carrier rather than the shiny new jet regionals. Your little RJs may be nicer, but my QOL and pilot skills are a lot better I bet. No offense.

Then why are you asking? Got Shiny Jet Syndrome that bad???

You should be ashamed of yourself...methinks you are better Go jet material!

PS, bring your own lube, HK don't supply that either...

Do all of us at TSA a fovor dont come here we dont want to fly with you. We hate this place enough, someone like you will just make it worse. Go to ho jet, they need you.
