agreed with the previous posts. I also see a big gap between being qualified for the position and being prepared for it. to the guy who said TSA just hands you the material and lets you be...it's not entirely true. You do get instruction, extra help is there if you need it as well, along with one on one mentoring, etc. The company however is much more cutthroat than a good chunk of the other regionals, and the capt. checkride is typically a "build the airplane for me" type of ordeal.

The guys who will probably see 1.5-2 year upgrades still @ TSA will be the ones hired with wet tickets...for people who come over with nearly 1000 hrs, they'd upgrade you tomorrow if you volunteered.
