If you do the TSA thing then great you get to log a little PIC time when they let you fly in the left seat but again you are scheduling's puppet on both the CA side and the FO side for a long time. You will be getting paid less over the course of your first year at TSA and not have the QOL that the contract has at PSA. Just my 2 cents.
There is the question. Here is your answer. How does that help a guy who is new to the 121 world? You essentially told a new 121 pilot that he can upgrade in 3-4 months. That is a lie. You told him that he could got to TSA and flight left and right seat. That is a lie.
I understand you're excited for your airline, but let's try and do our best to help out guys who have zero exposure and might not understand the intricacies of the convoluted mess of regulations. I have several friends in the military who have almost been duped into making poor decisions because they don't understand the difference between 61, 141, 142. Get it together man.
