How does getting more planes improve your QOL without pilots showing up? Sounds to me like you will be understaffed, Junior Manned, denied Personal days, and possibly asked to work your vacation.

Three questions:
1) How long 'till TSA is hiring street captains?
2) Will the announcement that TSA is hiring street captains hurt their efforts to find first officers,.....who are chasing the quick upgrade, ("catch 22")?
3) If an 8 year Envoy First Officer takes a street captain position at TSA,.... how much will the pay cut be?

And yet Mesa and PSA seem to have no problem filling classes... and Mesa has one of the worst contracts in the industry.

They're coming from Great Lakes and other crappy places. You're lucky to get one or two CFIs. What happens when they run out of these guys from other regionals? And they will run out. You still need a guy in the right seat, you can't all be captains.

They can't hire street captains per their CBA and that is why they are doing the whole CQFO thing.
2) Will the announcement that TSA is hiring street captains hurt their efforts to find first officers,.....who are chasing the quick upgrade, ("catch 22")?
Doubtful because if you don't already have the mins it will take you more than a year to get them anyways so their hope is that attrition will allow them to continue to get a quick upgrade once they hit the mins. My guess is that you won't end up with too many lifers with the type of personality that would take the jump from one regional to another.
3) If an 8 year Envoy First Officer takes a street captain position at TSA,.... how much will the pay cut be?
There wouldn't be an hourly paycut for an Envoy FO with a CQFO position as the top out at Envoy ($42) is less than TSA's blended rate ($43.41). The only tough part would be during training where you are paid new hire pay ($24.92) at 60 hours a month until completion of OE with no per diem. Also, no insurance for 30 days.

No one is going to put a "silver platter" in front of you and beg you to go to TSA or any other regional. It's a risk anyone has to take if one is willing to jump ship. If you think that CQFO is going to be all gravy, think twice. You'll have to take one step back before taking two steps forward!
