You say that as though any of us care what you think about TSA. You come across as just another bitter Envoy guy. Go worry about your flow to American and leave us alone.

Oh and as far as my "flow", I could lift a finger and be over there at this point. Happy where I am and proud to retire here!

Most CQFOs will be paired with CQFOs. Perhaps the company wanted it that way, but obviously TSA is not getting enough regular FOs. You guys need to stop lying to potential new hires. They come to this forum to get information, not propaganda that is easily dismissed with logic.
Now, some TSA guy, praying enough of you get duped into coming to TSA so he can upgrade, will come here and argue this point. They will say that TSA needs CQFOs first and foremost and THAT is why there are so few FOs so far; they need the CQFOs for their expansion. But if your company was growing, wouldn't you also need the same amount of expansion in your FO ranks as well?
Beware of this place. TSA has a grand history of lying to their pilots. Look back through older TSA stuff and see how they hire in spring and furlough in fall.

Also, the new class is 10 CQFOs and 10 FOs. Not sure why someone wouldn't believe that. Do you want us to go take a picture of them holding their logbooks up next to their face with their pilot's license in hand? Not sure why you don't comprehend things like being fat on FOs in anticipation of the new flying. Now that they have hired a good portion of the CQFOs, you will see a greater numbers of FOs in class.
You also realize there is a new Director of Ops and Chief Pilot(s) that are changing the culture of old. The IAD Chief Pilot is even the former MEC President. They are making Trans States an employee friendly airline. Just go ask a regular line pilot and hear it first hand.

You're really pushing the age thing today with all the 'kitttys' and 'kiddos' and such. Did it ever occur to you that being called young isn't offensive and none of us would give so much as a squirt of pi$s to trade places with you. Enjoy retirement

Maybe you should go "crusade" against a pilot group that is actually undercutting you instead of focusing on one that has a decent contract and qol.

Wait, so you are basing your entire opinion of a company on one pilot? You do realize that no matter what is going on their will always be a couple of guys that can't let the past go. I guess I should've specified more than 1 pilot. He also could've just been telling you what you wanted to hear so he could catch a ride. Or it could be simply a case of confirmation bias and hearing what you want to hear.

It has nothing to do with what you are doing to me or my company, though you are not perfect little angels; your CQFO program is designed to pilfer from other regionals. If it does not work out, and my money is on it not working for most, those poor CQFOs will be holding the bag.
My "crusade" is to try and help out the unassuming CFI before you manage to deluge all these lies into them. I don't believe that TSA is even in the top 5 best places for a new hire to go. It will take a new hit FO 2-3 years to upgrade, not 1.5. Maybe a few in the beginning will get that, but not most. With 2-3 years, that only leaves a few years before you start bleeding airplanes again, as has been the rinse and repeat cycle for you guys for a long long time.
Oh and I am pushing the Kiddy Kiddo thing today because several of your fellow liars have decided it is fine to throw potshots at me with "old man" as the centric point. Tit for tat .... Little man
