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.

PSA, Mesa, and current us are not having any staffing issues.
After 1st quarter of next year, the current addition of airplanes per month (between 2-5) stops. So any new upgrades will be based on attrition of Captains to other jobs.

Caveman, if you have the 500 multi/multi crew, you will be able to hold CA with your seniority about the time you get ur 500 of 121. Even if you're a point-nose guy, 1000 hrs and upgrade will come at TSA faster than most, almost all lines built for 80+ hrs. TSA will have the 80+ jets for 5 yrs (up from 30 something now). You'll be long gone before the wheels come off... You gotta get the time somewhere, so start fast (unless u have the cred to straight to the big league, then get the hell out of the regional threads
).

1000 Turbofan
ATP, the types in my profile, and the rest of it (passport, class 1 med, etc), but like many other folks (with higher quality experience), my phone isn't ringing off the hook despite apps in everywhere. Seriously considering applying for a regional position to add 121 to the resume.
It looks like the math says 6-7 months until a mil guy would accrue his 500+500 121 time... Just a helluva gamble if the music was to stop sooner vs later at year 1 FO pay.
If there are some TSA Captains reading this thread, I'd appreciate a PM to ask some more questions.
