I think that TSA is just sort of the canary in the coal mine. Maybe managed just a little more poorly than some of the others, but EVERYONE at the regional level is starting to bleed CAs and even senior FOs to the majors, and many of the ones that go first are the training cadre. This is something that is going to have to be ACTIVELY managed by someone with a little foresight and knowledge of queuing theory, otherwise you are going to wind up with CA/FO mismatches even if your total numbers hold up. And this is an issue that is not even amenable to just throwing money at it, not if seniority is going to be honored.

And this is going to become more - not less - of a problem for the next five years or so. Those regionals who don’t manage it well are going under.
