PSA or TSA
I have a class date in February for PSA and just interviewed as well for TSA. I'm thinking about changing and going to TSA instead for their CQFO program as I meet the requirements transferring from another 121 regional.
Which airline will have the quickest upgrade? Also, can't find a TSA contract to compare with PSA, does anyone have a TSA contract they care to share?

Ok.. What about the 50 firm plus 50 options for the MRJ we have.. (Plus 50/50 E2 Jets) Our contract is waaaay better! We make more flying a 50 seater than most places flying 70+ seat rj's. Run run run for the shiny jets..! Please..

Go where you don't have to commute to work.
TSA crew bases are ORD, IAD, STL and DEN (soon, if not opened yet) and PSA crew bases are TYS, DAY and CLT. What's the cost of living? If you don't want to relocate, how is the commute?
I've flown the CRJs and the EMB-145. My preference is the CRJ. That's probably due to substantially more experience on the CRJs. Good luck!

If you are looking at anything beyond 5-10 years when it comes to regional airlines you are reading tea leaves. Who's to say in 5-10 years a new flavor of the month is more appealing to American than PSA and they don't start losing aircraft? Keep in mind a lot of the Aircraft PSA is getting are being transferred from somebody else. Contracts are made to be broken and if American is willing to transfer planes to PSA, they can be transferred away as well. Just like planes are being transferred to TSA now. Bottom line, go for what makes financial sense. First priority is getting to work, then pay rates. Contracts are pretty similiar but our pay rates are a little better at TSA and we don't have caps. SAP at PSA is nice but we get 150% for all open time pickups. Should be lots of incentive pay out there everywhere as the shortage of pilots escalate.
