TSA is no peach of an airline. If you can go elsewhere....do so. TSA makes money, so with that regards it is a good place to work; however, the bulk of the employees here at TSA are treated like merd! (I think that is the right french word). The only place you will find any kind of QOL is by living in domicile, either STL or RIC and for get about commuting(even from PIT-it won't be around much longer). The standard life when you are new here is expect to be utilized to your minimum guarantee, you may go over, but probably not. you WILL spend several days a week sitting airport reserve and will only be paid for 50% the time you spent on duty. When out flying the line you will encounter some really out standing crews, living in what amounts to squaller(you will understand when you see the condition of our aircraft-THIS IS NOT THE FAULT OF OUR MAINT. DEPT, as they are understaffed even worse than we are) what you would get is a paycheck(though not much of one-first year fo's average around 18000 per year) and flight time.
Good luck with your decision.
