Default TSA or Expressjet
I have class dates with both in March. Pros and cons of both. 25 years 121 experience so not my first rodeo but starting over. Appreciate all input

Hard to say. There’s been cases of TSA guys going to XJT and XJT coming to TSA. So it depends on your circumstances, we have to know more. XJT has historically been the better airline, both are stagnant right now.

Well commuting is a way of life if you live in Florida. It’s going to be rough. I would go to the one that has the closest base to you.

XJT's training is far beyond TSA. Like its really even a competition.

That's why TSA bought a crashed up XJT plane to use as a trainer.

What? The only XJT plane that was “crashed up” (whatever that means) was back in 97 and is used for their cabin trainer.
