January 14th has 14 CQFO. 2 FOs now. (one guy went to the next class and one FO left)

Feb 2nd class has about 9 CQFO 9 FO.Not exact numbers but it's close to that. Most new hire classes have a couple no shows.

December 3rd 9 CQFO'S, 3 FO's

December 16th 13 CQFO's, 3 FO's

January 5th 20 CQFO’s, 5 FO’s

January 14th 15 CQFO’s, 3 FO’s

The numbers I am coming up with are around 57 CQFO's and 14 FO's since December 3rd. Are these numbers accurate?

Thanks,

Speed

Right. So what's your question?

No question in that post. Just posting one of the points covered during a conversation with a TSA pilot/recruiter after inquiring into the CQFO program.

But I've got a few ??? for you now though😎

How many planes are currently on property?

What is the planned expansion?

Is there a published aircraft delivery schedule?

Trying to read a crystal ball, on projecting how long a military guy with zero 121 time, but exceeds all the other CQFO requirements, would be at FO pay.

You'll be on FO pay until you get 1000 SIC hours. That's an FAA requirement. Depending on when you get hired, your upgrade will be between a year or longer. The music stops next January.

Or 500 SIC if you flew a ME Crew aircraft in the military. Either way, the sooner you get in, the better. If you get in late, you'll be at the bottom of the list.

The FAA regulates pay now? Where have I been?

Is this a real question?

Trans States isn't going to pay CQFO (or captain) pay to people who aren't legally able to act as PIC.

Once you're on the list, you go to the bottom of it regardless of experience. once you meet all upgrade requirements you can submit a bid to upgrade and depending on how many qualified pilots ahead of you will depend on when you can upgrade. Until then, you're an FO. Period.

What happens next January? I asked/searched for an aircraft delivery schedule...couldn't come up with one. What is special about TSA's plan to man this growth....it seems other Regional operators are having staffing issues without growth?

Real questions, looking at the possibility of adding 121 experience to my resume, and the TSA growth plan/CQFO program looked like one of the more promising options. Thanks in advance.
