Their 145s aren't new, they're new to TSA. The latest are coming from Mesa and I bet they're just peaches.

I'm a former waterskier. Do yourself a favor if commuting, go somewhere with a commuter clause and real growth. 50 seat aircraft are going away, and guess where any 70 seaters go if Trans States Holdings is awarded flying? There are a ton of great people at TSA, and I enjoyed flying with them. The upgrades are about to come to a screeching halt though and perhaps more important the company freaking sucks. THere are a ton of recently upgraded captains that won't have competative mins for quite a while. There is no upgrading for growth, it's all for attrition. Once that stops, the movement stops.
