How are things rolling along at TSA? I am slotted for a march class and look forward to starting.
Is the movement and growth still happening? Any signs of changes to come? For me the biggest draws to this place are the bases and the movement.
I hear things from the PDT threads that they will be taking back some of the AA flying. Any thoughts on this?

Hey guys, new member here. I'm hoping to join TSA this summer possibly at the new (hopefully?) RDU base. I'm planning on living in base, so I was curious if anyone has heard anything new about the RDU base, and how that's looking? Any word on the types of trips, etc. Will it be exclusively AA flying? I guess maybe nobody knows at this point, but thanks for any info.
RDU is definitely opening. They interviewed for a chief pilot last week. It's supposed to open in Feb, though I wouldn't be surprised if it gets pushed to March. If that's where you want to be based, and you can start soon, you will have it pretty good. You should be able to get RDU right away and spend little or maybe even no time on reserve... Again, if you start soon.
If you want more info on the company, shoot me an email. [email protected]. I'd be happy to answer any questions you have.

All of the American 145s are on property. They will be split between STL and RDU, with most of them slated for RDU I think. In terms of American taking back their flying... Who knows. We have a four year contract to fly the American birds, so they will not go anywhere prior to that. It just depends on what American needs when the contract expires and who can do it the cheapest. It's all part of the regional shuffle. Impossible to predict whether we'll keep flying them or not after the contract expires.
If you have any questions or want info on the company, shoot me an Email... [email protected]. I'd be happy to answer any questions. Good luck!

Agreed.
Hey, I've heard that one Envoy guy had drinks with Doug Parker and he said that he wants to send them all to Envoy and that a different guy from Piedmont had Doug tell him over a drink that he wanted to send them all to PDT. And then, over more drinks, Doug outsourced flying to TSA and XJT. Lots of drinks to be had. I hope Doug didn't drive home...

Position was just listed as open today. Wouldn't expect to see it filled for a couple of weeks at least. PE would be an awesome Director of Training so it probably won't happen....
