If they try to integrate I have a feeling Trans States Holdings would lose much more than just the American flying. A vast majority of the captains and FOs at TSA would walk before they integrated with Blowjet. Even with the current state of things Blowjet is still hiring direct entry captains. What does that tell you about that place?

to keep the TSA guys on property, they'd have to keep the TSA name...without it, i think the vast majority of pilots would walk, might keep some FO's, but not many captains, and as we know, they need captains over at blowjet.
Someone also mentioned that apparently the AA scope was for 44 seat aircraft, and, that TSA was actually paying a fee to AA in order to fly the 50 seat aircraft. Albeit, it's not as much as you'd pay to fly a 70 seater on the certificate, but apparently, it's "something".

They've been getting more CRJs for about two years. However they're still at 15. I'll believe it when I see it.
A phone call and a little cash is all it takes to lower upgrade mins. I was in class at TSA when the memo came out that dropped them to ATP mins.
