They have no idea what to do about hiring new FOs.
Street captains WILL be hired come summertime. PM me if you want to know who I heard that from.

trans states has had a rep for hiring some low time guys, but they do not budge at all for performance. Its actually a good way to hire because the difference between 500 hours and 1500 hours could be a simple difference of how many landings you have saved in the pattern. Until there is quite a bit of IFR cross country experience, most instructing is just adding hours into your logbook. So I think its a relatively good thing to hire people and give them a shot, if they cant cut it, so be it. I definatley think TSAs training was very thorough and fair. If you didnt make it, probably a good thing. Thats one thing I will give TSA props for is the training department, most every captain I flew with was very knowledgeable, professional with the door open, and all in all a damn good pilot.

Tell them to start paying hotels in training and some people might think about sending a resume...not to mention let up on the training.

You know a lot of guys don't want to fail out of training on their first 121 gig, right?

very true, I knew TSA had a tough training department before I went there, but I was up for a challenge. I do agree with you though, no one wants to fail, of the guys that were in our class that busted, it really messed them up. One guy called back XJEt and Airwhiskey and told them he was now availiable to interview, explained his TSA situation and they said thanks but no thanks. Kind of sucks. THey are paying for hotels in training now, as well as 400 dollars a week on top of the 60 hr/month guarantee. We'll see what happens!

So...what about those FOs hired in late spring 2004? Are they going to upgrade?

i was in the jan class, did everything up to the oral and passed. i quit in feburary, and was about number 32 to quit that month. about 5 didnt make it in my class and a few found other places to go. training is tough but if you just study and listen during class it is not that bad.
