PSA's contract is online. http://psa.alpa.org/LinkClick.aspx?f...t=KcCmHqrbuGA=

I am not sure if TSA's is, but I would expect it to be.

Here are some questions that I asked:
-How many people are leaving each airline and were they are going? Moving up to majors or lateral moves to other regionals? Why are they leaving?
- How many people are choosing to go work at each regional each month?
- Which contract is better in terms of what I want? More money and more time off? Best schedule flexibility?
- Least time on reserve?
- Which one has a base that I want to live in or I will be easily be able to commute to?


What may be important to you may be different than what I consider to be important to me.

Second that. Most of the terms and rules are gibberish to a non-121 pilot. I've been studying this stuff from the outside for six months now and "better of block or average block," "rest period," "duty period," "blended rate," "quarterly rate resets," etc. still nearly make my head spin.

Dude it confuses 121 pilots... Written by lawyers with loopholes left and right!

And the OP sounds like he/she is trolling if anything.
