Seniority Reservation Consequences
I'm approaching minimums R-ATP (Army rotary) and live in a small Republic base but have not met the requirements to interview just yet. I know living in base is huge but I'm attracted to the amount of flying and upgrade times at TSA and could commute to any of the three bases relatively easily. I'm curious about the ramifications if I go for the seniority reservation day and then receive a CJO and decide to go to Republic instead? Is there any obligation upon attending that one day and could it be looked at negatively down the road if my record shows only a couple of months at a company before moving on?

I'm a Trans States Aviator (college program) and had this question myself recently. I asked around with some of the people in St. Louis and the answer isn't a very good one. Attending day 1 of the Seniority Reserve program counts as beginning training. If you opt out of the program after you reserve your seniority, it'll show up as a training failure on your pilot record. There's some good Pro's to working with TSA, message me for some more info.

In essence, I can go somewhere that I wouldn't mind getting stuck, but doing so would increase my chances of getting stuck by taking longer to become competitive. If that makes any sense. Any insight/advice would be greatly appreciated!

If anything it will show up in your Pria that you worked there yet did not complete training. That’s not the same as a failure. Failures only come from written, oral, checkride, and linecheck failures. If you haven’t done any of those, what could they possibly say you failed?

I've been trying to figure that out for a while. It basically comes down to whether I want to grind it out to make major minimums and hopefully make the jump as quickly as possible or spend several months on reserve and delay the upgrade by a couple years but be comfortable living in base?

To your point, if seniority is everything, it applied at regionals and majors. Better to be quick IMO

Ok, so I’m a bit confused. They are saying that if you start and reserve your seniority, then decide it’s not for you this shows up as a training failure?
