Best you can do is get your TPIC and move on. Second best, take the flow to F9.
You must be flow eligible by now, no?

Most trips will start out of where you are based. It depends on where you are based and where you live. However, there is a Commuter policy making commuting easier.

TSA’s profile (here: https://www.airlinepilotcentral.com/airlines/regional/trans_states_airlines) says the following:
“Trans States will fund up to $40,000 for fixed wing pilots who need to build their hours for the ATP minimums.”
Can you explain this further? I read this as you’ll pay for me to fly while I’m obtaining one or more of my PP, IFR, CP (or other?) ratings. True? What’s the catch/contract terms in exchange for taking TSA’s money?
Also, is it still 2 years to upgrade from FO to CA? I’d be interested in the DEN base once I hit 1,500 TT.

Pretty sure that money is for the final time building hours to make you atp eligible not pay for pilot certs. You most definitely can get den. It’s growing. I would bet you can upgrade before 2 years.

How does the F9 flow from the other TSH (Compass and GoJet) impact the TSA flow? I understand it's possible in 2 years but what is reality?
