Upgrade mins just lowered to 3000total, 1600 turbine, 1200 multi. But for every hour you fly in the 145, you are credited two hours towards total time up to 800 hours. So if you come in with low time, upgrade mins are really 2200 total, 1600 turbing, and 1200 multi.
People are bailing every day. The slogan of the company seems to be "We train em so every other regional can hire em..."
90 percent of the captains I have flown with have told me to get the hell out of TSA while I still haven't accrued much seniority.
Hope this helps, I know I don't have a ton of details about the benefits. If you want more let me know.
