Get out while you can, or better yet don't even look at TSA. I would rather stick a fork in my eye than fly for that outfit. Come on, the Scorpions were cool
Quote: I have an interview date with TSA on May 15th. 1700TT and 100 multi for anyone interested. The tech interview is consisting of an 8 page study guide on the E145 in icing conditions, max weights and airspeed limitations of a lot of icing equipment type stuff. Along with current multi flown and what not. 2 year reserve would suck and commuting from Chicago to there would suck. Personally, I'm holding out for my 2 recommendations from ExpressJet, and 1 captain from GoJet, and 1 from SkyWest. I was at the FltOps.com job fair in Vegas a couple weeks ago and they (TSA) were the only company that didn't seem to care too much on multi time, and I had 88 multi 2weeks ago. Guess we'll see what happens...
2 guys I know interviewed and hired in August and furloughed by December. Good luck.
Ah yes I forgot what it felt like to be at TSA.
What are the reserve periods? Haven't seen the contract yet.
Quote: What are the reserve periods? Haven't seen the contract yet.
In IAD home reserve 0500-1900 or 1000-2400 with a 2 hour call out. Airport reserve 0500-1500 or 1300-2300.

Going by the past few times new hires have shown up I'd say that reserve for 2 years is a stretch. Realistically you guys will probably be furloughed before then. And recalled...and furloughed again.
Just a heads up if I haven't said it to you in person before.

The Pear Tree has bed bugs.

10 people in the next new hire class

2 year rsv...whats the draw for new hires? live in IAD or STL?
No idea, for me it was STL and I had an offer from awhile ago. It was a job and bailing before pinnacoloba falling apart.
For someone to get off reserve (Which I have never been....think about that for a moment...) we're going to need to hire 100 or more.

Why?

Because maybe 50 will make it to the line.

...so when I hear that we're going to be hiring until July I'm thinking to myself.... 4 guys now, 2 will wash, 10 guys next month, 5 will wash, and 10 guys in July...7 will wash because the company will suddenly realize they don't need that many pilots....think Feb 2008.

Yeah, unless there's something up their sleeves....I'll never know what holding a line feels like.
