I have two buddies working there and they keep telling me....dont stop interviewing. Sounds pretty miserable. So, I kept interviewing...so glad I just got hired at ASA! Anyways, thanks for the info. I really do hope things get better there. The pilots, flight attendants, Sarah Keith, and the HR people were very nice so I hope the management makes a 180 on the way they treat people.

Your christmas bonus will be a note from the flight manager telling you

Here are some reasons not to go to TSA:
Christmas bonus does not exist.
CHautauqua even has a bonus system.
1 week a year vacation.
If you get the j-41 training sucks and reserve for at least a year, at least.
10 days off max first year maybe 2nd 3rd...
No overtime available
Not able to commute because of poor schedulers
Underpaid schedulers that could not give a crap if your mother is dying.
Wife pregnant good luck getting time off to see your new baby.
The Union is corrupt. The MEC extended the contract for his own benefit.
Do i have to mention the OTHER airline???
Maintenence is crap and it is always pilot error! (Think hard about this)
Owner would rather sell you to India then have to treat you properly.
Training dept is good old boy network.
Richmond VA base is very very difficult to get to.
Upgrade is 4 years plus.
The only good thing about TSA is that you can't do any worse.
If you get hired at Mr. Joes flying a C-172 u r better off.
I am happy flying a piston airplane again vs working at TSA>
Just do yourself a favor and don't go.....

I worked for those dirtbags for 4+ years in the 90's. Unless things have changed 180 degrees it is a dangerous place to work. Back then upgrade was 1-2 years so it was worth the constant risk of busting a check ride from some fat ass who never flew the line or getting fired for not accepting a trip that would put you over 30 in 7. All this and MUCH more happened during the time I was there. Somehow I made it out unscathed but I saw guys get fired for events like the above mentioned, and I can't even count how many guys failed checkrides for complete B.S. They used to brag that the initial upgrade failure rate was 50-80%. I will stop here, I'm having flashbacks.....

my interview was back in July!
They offered a September class but cancelled it and kept putting me off
now im in the January 16th class as well.
Man does anyone have anything good to say about this company??
I had a friend who just left there a few months ago because of the go-jets stuff but he said though TSA sucks it isnt any better or worse than his new job. He also commented that they have a lot of really nice pilots to fly with and that everything should be fine as long as i dont take the Go-Jets offer.
I hate to stumble upon bad information 2 weeks from the class date but is there really a good regional job?
I applied with colgan air but got jury duty the day of my interview and had to back out, but everyone tells me colgan air's domiciles cost of living are so insanely expenisive that its not even worth the job. any advice?
