Its a damn shame what is happening at TSA. I was hired in 6/07, flew nearly 1,100 hours with the company, commuted in early so I didn't miss a trip, did everything right. Yet, the gamble of choosing that company has resulting in an entirely different situation for me now than I had envisioned a year ago. Many other regionals are furloughing too, but I think we're going the deepest in terms of % of the group.
Its just a shame. If/when I go back to the industry, I hope to do better with company selection than the first time around.
Sucks for everyone.
I've learned, though, that often times things that happen are blessings in disguise. I wonder about this.....
