I’m not defending their pay policy. I think the training pay is stupid, and having sent a bunch of guys home for two weeks unpaid after the first week of Indoc was dumb. I think they learned their lesson on that.
They’re a regional like all the rest and regionals suck. They’re 2.5 years old as a 121 and are still learning as they grow. Management run around is normal at regionals; at least you don’t have management targeting employees like at other regionals.
There’s two sides to every story. If their MX program was unsafe they wouldn’t be flying. If something isn’t right, then write it up and get it fixed. Machines break. That’s why we train pilots for abnormals and emergencies.
Those old TSA planes are/were buggy though in my opinion.
