I'm an envoy pilot, but have nothing bad to say about the guys and girls at TSA. I can only hope people don't make lateral moves and keep the regional churn cycle going.
Now, PSA on the other hand? Absolute dirt bags...but that's for another thread...

Don't know who's payscale your looking at. If I were at ExpressJet I'd have to take a pay CUT ($66.93 to $65).

What are your work rules? Min day pay? 401k, insurance costs, sick time, LTD.
You all speak of your low overhead costs, well if you are doubling your fleet they will be increased accordingly. All regional companies are banking on pilots jumping from seniority list to the next. Thus I my paying first years wages.
Once agai. We pilots play checkers while mgmt plays Chess at Kasparov.
