TSA sounds like the better choice.....just like it did in November of 2007 when I made the choice as well.

If things in the world go crazy and you end up being stuck at a regional longer than expected, which company would you rather be at in the long run?

If I'm not mistaken, Air Wisconsin uses line bidding and Trans States has a preferential bidding system. In my experience, Line bidding can allow for more days off during a vacation month. Maybe someone at Wisconsin can post about their line bidding process.

Correct. ZW also has trip-touching for vacation. So, I bid two weeks of vacation in the middle of a month. I did this every year and on average I turned that 2 weeks into anywhere from 23-28 days off those months.
I'm at Delta now and we use PBS. It seems to maximize time off during vacation months you have to bid reserve. We have no trip-touching, either.
