Sounds like the school's marketing department is really excelling if they can still sell this career!
Actually we don't even advertise. It's all word of mouth from former students and pilots. But we are also located right next a large military base and a lot of guys get out and use their Gi bill. I tell all my students the truth and don't sugar coat anything.

Don't think this way man. I did what you are talking about and lived to regret it. I had been trying to get on with skywest back in 2005 and they totally ignored me until I was about a week into new hire class at Trans States when they called me to interview. I decided to stay since I was already in class. Everyone at Trans States told me to go as fast as I could and I should have listened to them. I put two years into that place and finally bailed when the GoJet stink got to be unbearable and bailed to go to Skywest. By that point, they had hired a ton of pilots and I l was stuck being junior for a long time. Trans States does NOT care one bit about you, your career, or if you live or die for that matter so show them the same amount of loyalty they show their employees and bail to a better company if you get the chance. I beg you to do what is right for YOU and not Trans States. They haven't earned loyalty from anyone as you're about to find out.

Have you seen how much open time there is out there in STL and IAD? I think most of the reserves will be working just to cover it. Really, there could have been at least 3 or 4 build ups in both domiciles

I dunno, There's a metric ass-ton of open time out there. And with our -2509288% reserve coverage, I have a feeling there won't be a lot of guys sitting around.

I might be interested in TSA as my first airline, but I am concerned about the TSA washout rate which has historically been high according to various message boards. That is a show stopper for a new airline applicant, then and later when they report that failure to the next company. What do you think is the washout rate one could expect these days at TSA? I understand it is higher for FlightSafety trainees because they do not get op-specific training emphasis, but what odds are we looking at here?
