I believe that TSA was kind of like GLA, or MESA so to speak.

And we have to keep in mind, it's ALL relative to the times of the mid 90's when the "regionals" tubo-uber-super sucked back then.

But you could save your $5-6K, apply to GLA, TSA, or MESA. But you would also be working under the crappiest conditions, the crappiest management, the lowest pay, etc.

What many don't realize is that PFT was almost a norm back then on the civilian track. Also, in the early 90's there were mil pilots separating with virtually NO legacies hiring. And the ones that were looking to stay current and couldn't find a local 91/135/corp gig did it as well.

Complete black mark on the industry.
