Krazo,

Sounds like you know a bit about TSA. What's with the tip jar? Are you talkin' about tips for the van driver or for money so the pilots can eat!?
I am seriously thinking about NOT taking that TSA class date. Is building time in an ERJ at TSA better than pounding the pavement as a CFI? I actually get pd $21/hr as CFI, but I can't get many hrs. TSA is giving me an opportunity to get those hours onto the resume, but at what cost?! I do not believe in working for free. Or working for less money than flight attendants, which is the case many times. I wonder if I should just suck up TSA management and deal with it.......I have no I idea what the right decision is.
