When I get it, I don't even know if I'll ever be called back because the 50 seaters are being phased out. I wouldn't be surprised of TSA as a brand gets phased out and any growth occurs on the GoJet side.
Meanwhile, a friend of mine works for Comair, and switched from the CRJ-200 to the -700/-900 and received an appropriate pay raise and it looks like he'll be escaping the furlough too. He was hired with Comair AFTER I was hired at TSA.
Why did I stay at TSA? I should have gotten a few hundred hours jet time and switched to a better company. My future would be looking a lot brighter right now.
Gotta stay positive....
So what, your friend is now going to fly a CRJ9, who cares? Still same crappy pay but with the extra FA. You still have a job flying a regional jet what is there to complain about there are thousands on the street right now. There are many who wished they would have done things differently knowing what they know now but flying is flying.
