Type of 135 they accept
So has anyone had an issue with the TSA accepting their part 135 time ? Friend at another airline said his airline would not accept his Lear PIC 135 time since less than 9 seats.
Curious to see what type of 135 time meets TSA case by case basis. Kinda hard to believe 1000 in a C-208 or C-402 then straight to left seat in ERJ. Anyone have info on type of time they will accept ?
Flyer also says they can discontinue program at anytime so what happens after they get a bunch of bodies stop the program and then stuck as downgraded FO ?

If you look at the comparison, you see that the above average contract (XJT) has better 401k mathing, a B fund, better sick accrual (and able to use from day 1), better vacation accrual, lower insurance cost-sharing, better LTD, an OJI bank, better reserve rules, paid fatigue (not from sick bank), better commuter policy, better sick call policy, etc
The TSA contract (average) has two items that are above average, the commuter policy and the uniform reimbursement. Everything else is either average or below average.
