This place still blows and natural selection should take its course with it.

Same rumor floating around Compass about our MGMT. Which one could be true, or did they both go?

Haha, same management...so, rumor would be the same for both sides. One of my college roommates is a mechanic at TSA, so although I've departed he still keeps me in the loop on interesting "developments" in the Hulie Factory.

Got an email to interview, but have not been able to get anyone in recruitment to answer a phone for several days. Anybody else having an issue? Or successful?

Same here, I just stopped trying. I left a message, but I'm not going to beg to make a lateral move.

Is this new?
The FAA is proposing two civil penalties totaling $633,000 against Trans States Airlines, Inc. for allegedly operating two Embraer 145 regional jets on 3,660 flights while the planes did not comply with FAA regulations. The FAA alleges Trans States improperly installed replacement radio altimeter antenna cables on two airplanes, which the airline then operated on 268 revenue passenger flights when they were not in compliance. Inspectors found the new cables laying unsecured to the airframe inside each aircraft’s large aft wing-to-fuselage fairing. Inspectors found the old, apparently defective cables still mounted to the walls where the new cables should have been secured to prevent them from chafing. The FAA discovered the alleged violations during inspections in 2009, after Trans States returned the leased aircraft to their owner.

It'll probably be reduced to 5 dollars as long as they say they're sorry. Wish pilots could do that when we get a violation from the FAA.

They're SWAMPED. Currently in one of the classes for TSA now, they're running 4 classes (2 for Go, 2 for TSA) of just pilots, and just as many FA classes from what it seems, plus they have another TSA class starting in 10 days or so... Keep trying. E-mail is definitely fastest way to get in contact with them. Interview is easy. If you're current, know the IFR regs, and IFR procedures in the AIM, you'll be fine on the ATP portion. See you in the air soon. BTW, if you go to GoJets, it's all a personality interview, no tech, but that's just what I hear.

What's up with the ad on 350 for pilots to be based in PIT?
