Tsa longevity?
I’m looking at between SkyWest and trans states and am slightly concerned with the new pilot contract concessions will be made on something are these fears warranted? Also anyone there now what is the next few years looking like? Will they actually replace the old work horses they have? Are they financially stable and going to grow? Seeing the shutdown of the iad base and rdu shrinking from tsa and the possible Denver closure from gojet really makes me wonder if the company is going to be around in a few years. Any and all info is greatly appreciated

We will shut the place down before giving in on the concessions they want. We fought too hard for our min day and PBS language will never give it up. They can pound sand. PBS barely passed with the language in the TA and TSA management wants us to give that up. Ain't gonna happen.

So from the sound of it you all would recommend ping with SkyWest for stability? The biggest thing is I want to make sure I have a job for one, and two that I can fly my butt off. Also wondering about the training department at tsa as well

Skywest is the place to go, without doubt.
