1. I see you fly for American and United - is there a flow to them? or maybe a interview Pref? limitations on that (IE time as captain at company, etc)?
2. Your flying Benefits with the Majors - are they really limited to which of the base you fly for?
3. What type of trips you looking at with TSA, 2, 3, 4 day trips and most importantly what type of hotels they putting you in?
4. As a CQFO would i be in the FO classes or a Captains class or both?
I have had friends go through the training at TSA for straight up FO and failed out. Heard their pass rate is in the dumps when it comes to that. I keep in mind i hear that from the web and friends so i take it for what it is worth.
Thank you for any information
You'll have 11 days off even if you've been here for a long time. That means in about 15 or 16 days of work every month you'll only have about 4 days off. Guys that have been here 20 years have like 2 more days off than someone who just got a line last month. That's what's most important to look at, not the hotel your going to stay at... If they keep making these schedules guys will just quit or sick will calls go up. Will this change with pbs? Nobody knows.
