Default The BAD about TSA?

So I have an offer to join TSA. I don't mind junior manning as I like to make extra money when possible. What's the bad about TSA besides junior manning? Reserve is short, upgrades are short, bonuses are good, pay is on pair to others.

Pay is actually LAGGING others but the bonus offsets that for a few years, so if your intention is to get in, fly your butt off, and move on in time to take advantage of the peak legacy retirement wave, it’s not an unreasonable choice.

If your intention was to have a career flying there, not so much.

You sir nailed it! To the OP, really keep in mind the family and other commitments. You might be having the time of your life, but family may grow restless. They might be resentful of your being gone too much. And of the constant change in plans.

Keep this firmly planted in your decision making. Trust me the consequences can threaten everything for you

^^^^this. The toll on the family is big. When I leave my kids say “oh daddy is going to do his stupid pilot job”. They aren’t excited when I come home anymore. Wife isn’t feeling much different. Hoping it will get better, but know it won’t. Would think this is across all regionals in general. Don’t want a 9-5 job though. Something will give eventually....

I'm way too young to even think about a family.
Also according to the recruiter their contract doesn't allow more than 3 nights/4 days gone at work even with junior manning.
