I just got a call from your Recruiters out there today and they were talking up your CQFO position seeing as I have been flying in the 121s for over 1.5 years and have the needed time. now i have been reading up on the local posts and other websites and I have 4 question.

1. I see you fly for American and United - is there a flow to them? or maybe a interview Pref? limitations on that (IE time as captain at company, etc)?

2. Your flying Benefits with the Majors - are they really limited to which of the base you fly for?

3. What type of trips you looking at with TSA, 2, 3, 4 day trips and most importantly what type of hotels they putting you in?

4. As a CQFO would i be in the FO classes or a Captains class or both?
I have had friends go through the training at TSA for straight up FO and failed out. Heard their pass rate is in the dumps when it comes to that. I keep in mind i hear that from the web and friends so i take it for what it is worth.

Thank you for any information

Disclaimer: I was fired from here. Figured I'd beat CBreezy to it.

Guys that have been here 20 years have like 2 more days off than someone who just got a line last month. That's what's most important to look at, not the hotel your going to stay at... If they keep making these schedules guys will just quit or sick will calls go up. Will this change with pbs? Nobody knows.

The guy above is correct, if you have been at an airline for 20 years you should be getting substantially more days off than a Jr. line holder and that is not the case at TSA. This has nothing to do with holding a grudge it is the truth, heck this is coming from your own pilots saying it!!! Just like the CQFO disaster. It has been a failure and miss managed on all parts including by your union reps. Once again this is all coming from your pilots.
