Really three announcements. The 700's are going somewhere, 20 175 to start flying beginning of 2015 (to an already established 175 operator), and then another 20 175 to be flown at a later date presumably a carrier who would need to get a training program up and running. What flying does TSA think they are going to get? Additional 145's when they are parking Envoys? lol gimme a break

 

Keep in mind Tsa already flys for AA. Well technically it's usairways flying and only 3 airplanes, but we already have one foot in the door with them. I'm sure a lot of us would love some more AA flying rather than additional flying for the disaster known as united express.

 

Well the 3 new airplanes in the MX is bust. Only one airplane in UAX colors was sitting over there yesterday when we departed STL. Hanger doors were wide open.

 

I bet you called yourself a real airline pilot, when trying on that gojet uniform. Oh wait you're still studying how to be a professional pilot.

 

I have been following the news and do know about the new flying. The point I was trying to make was that literally no one knows where that are going.

As to your comments regarding TSA? You aren't even any good at trolling. If they are going to give 20 Ejets to someone who doesn't have a 175 program as YOU claim, why would they be hoping for more 145 flying? I think this is where I'd put an lol because joking about airplane size is funny to you for some reason.

 

TSA founded in 1982.

Comair founded in 1977.

No disrespect, but regarding regionals, is age really an indicator of anything these days? I tried using this logic when I was choosing where to go, but I realized there's no security to be found there either.

Actually, looking for long term security with the regionals dosen't appear to be right at all, so I let that logic go. It doesn't seem like they want you around for very long at all.

What I get out of my research so far, is that in today's environment, it seems that one should use the regionals as a stepping stone to the majors. Get in, get the time, and get out. Something like a job while in college. The corporate greed of some shows no signs of going away. It's possible that the longer they see pilot's hanging around and becoming more expensive, the more the concern over their profits grows. Then they start forming plots to either "motivate" the pilots to move on (concessions/threats of shrinking) or "force" pilots to move on (Comair) in order to preserve and/or boost their own profits. They seem to feel that if pilots want 6-figure salaries, then pilots need to move on to pax/cargo majors, corporate aviation, or overseas operators. For example, take the GoJet situation. They would rather create a startup to save money than to do the right thing and pay people what they're worth. They couldn't have cared less about how anybody felt about it except themselves. This was a drastic move and it shows they will do whatever it takes to suit themselves. To some of them, we are not people, rather we are numbers.

They -want- you to "hit it and quit it". XD

 

Not sure anyone was trolling. Why would TSA even think they would get 175 flying. If it goes to anyone owned by TSH it would go to sister company Compass as they already have a established program and far superior operation.

 

So does SkyWest, ExpressJet, Air Wisconsin, Mesa, Republic, PSA, Piedmont.... not a very valid argument.

 

Well just saying. Seemed like you were shocked that someone suggested AA flying for Tsa. Also not many people know we fly for aa/airways and have a good history with American.

 

Nope wait till the end of May.
