Hey all....threw in my app on AirlineApps late last week and waiting to hear from TSA. Curious to know how long they take to reach out to people? Have the R ATP mins and think TSA is looking very good as an option. Couple questions being a noob:
How often are training classes for y'all? (recently saw a post that showed a high ratio of CQFOs to FOs)
Approx how long from training to completion of IOE? Does it vary?
Cheers all!

-Two classes per month. Right now, even split btw FO & CQFO. Guys are currently being offered a class start about 6 weeks from interview.
-Three months indoc to finish IOE. Variation of +/- 2 wks waiting for sims.
-RATP mins- do you have the written? They are giving guys the ATP chk ride as part of the type rating sim chk so u don't have to pay some rip-off DPE 600 clams to flog you all day.
-google TSA and see that they are holding recruiting meet&greets all over the country right now. Also see on the web site the email of the recruiting dept.
Make it happen for yourself.
And in case u were wondering:
-The interview is not hard. Very few tech q's - Scan an AIM for for a couple of evenings and you'll breeze thru. Sim ride is in a Saber Something, so if you've not flown a jet before, try to get few minutes in an AATD, not an expensive sim, just something set up to simulate a fast airplane.
-Pay during training sucks- $1500/ mo gross until completion of IOE.
-Hotel is double occupancy (although recruiting will say, "it just starts out as double, then u get ur own room"). But after all, you're in beautiful St. Louis so how bad can it be...

yup the first class of CQFO's is almost done...we should be all done by early next week (i'll be done sunday) that's 8 more CA/FO's on reserve

because they don't know...3 are done from the first class and for a few days they didn't know how to even put them into the system. Now they are sitting reserve as CA. but who knows next month we might sit as FO's...

If they are sitting CA reserve, they are getting CA pay. Not bad.
