Also I have heard that upgrade times at tsa could be within 12 months.

Interviewed with eagle and they were hiring for the same thing as tsa (145) but were saying upgrades would take 5-6 years with a couple years on reserse Possible.

I know regionals Suck and that I need jet time so where would be better to get that? TSA or RAH
Food for thought... I have met several people who have left TSA for another regional. Lateral moves are awesome for your career (sarcasm).

ExpressJet is opening an MCI base. I'd consider it.

Upgrade times are complete BS and those promises are worth nothing. If you'd rather not believe me, I have zero sympathy for you when you go there. If you work at a decent regional and live in domicile, you can have a pretty fun life for 5-10 years.

For the record, I didn't start this one!

Check out XJT with their new MCI domicile.

If you spend 5-10 yrs at rah or any other regional with the hiring thats about to happen, yur nuts. Go where you can do reserve from home and get out. Youll do fine wherever, just avoid a turbo prop. peace.

Not that it'll matter to some of you but the current upgrade times at TSA are not rumored, it is fact.

If there's some intelligent argument for this statement, I'd love to hear it.
