As far as I'm concerned Crash went way too easy on TSA. He's 100% accurate in his earlier post. The only thing he left out is TSA has an awesome group of pilots. At least in the mid 90's. The coolest guys I've worked with.
I worked for those dirtbags for 4+ years in the 90's. Unless things have changed 180 degrees it is a dangerous place to work. Back then upgrade was 1-2 years so it was worth the constant risk of busting a check ride from some fat ass who never flew the line or getting fired for not accepting a trip that would put you over 30 in 7. All this and MUCH more happened during the time I was there. Somehow I made it out unscathed but I saw guys get fired for events like the above mentioned, and I can't even count how many guys failed checkrides for complete B.S. They used to brag that the initial upgrade failure rate was 50-80%. I will stop here, I'm having flashbacks.....
