fair enough..... just looking for some info on the contract. 1. What do you like about the contract, or think is a decent/fair/good provision?
2. What do you dislike or think really sucks about the contract. (Besides payscale)
Thanks

Since when did regional "redeyes" become a thing? These overnight pairings look awful.

Can any recent trainees at TSA PM me with some info? I have a CJO and I'm looking at going to the Feb 1st class. I'd like to know the training footprint that you guys had. The answers that I've been getting from HR are pretty vague. Basically that it's just a 90 day footprint. I'd like to know a more EXACT timeline. I know everything is subject to change but... How many weeks is ground school? How many weeks are sims? LOFT Sims? IOE? Time off in between? Delays? Time between IOE and the beginning of reserve? The more details the better. I need to plan out everything for the months I'll be gone. Any other advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

3 cockpit procedures trainer sessions (1/2 week)
Maybe a few days off
8 sim sessions (more if you need it)
Checkride (usually about 2.5 weeks after starting sims)
About a week off, then IOE
Usually 2 IOE trips (25 hrs flt time)(takes roughly 2 weeks usually)
A few days off, then reserve.
Grand total about 12 weeks from start to finish. Don't expect much time off going through training, they want to get you on the line as efficiently as possible.
