Default TSA Recalls!!!!!!!

Congrats everybody. Talked to my buddy who was in the last new hire class at TSA and he got his recall letter today. Something about 3 classes starting in December and blah blah blah. So do I go back from Lakes and pay my training contract or what? This sucks.

So does that mean all furloughs are getting recalled?

Congrats

1. Can you defer recall at all or take a later class to minimize the training contract exposure?

2. Can you take leave of some sort while going through traing wih tsa so you wouldnt be out of a job, if there was a snag??

Looks like all 133 furloughees have been sent certified letters offering recall. This company wouldn't do anything like this unless something big was in the works. No word on upgrades, but we're looking for an official announcement from the company tomorrow or Monday.

Really? I thought ASA was going to be alright with the new United flying. I guess that's a "remains to be seen".

Poof.

I don't see how our inefficient scheduling whizkids will be able to run two bases without having to call some back.

That said, if PBS passes, yeah, it'll be years before any of us 136 are back to work - at least for ASA.

Then again, some of my peers who are still employeed think I'm going to be back to work by April 2010. Something about some other flying coming up, but whatever. . .easy for them to say.

Either way, I think I have an idea where TSA is getting this increased need for pilots. . .but I'll keep my mouth shut. Don't want to get too depressed.

Congrats though, first PSA, then Eagle, now TSA. . .who is next on the recall train?

Perhaps it's time to start a recall tracking thread. Has the tide turned?

All this, and ExpressJet may furlough again. Just after we started to gain our concessions back, too.

Uh yes. This company is very conservative. Something big is up, at least for TSA standards.

Hahaha...atleast ASA wants to get more flying.

The wonderful people with the Alaska Air Group running the show for Horizon, we're probably not going to recall till 2012.

HOPEFULLY, I won't have to make decision to go back or not...if that time rolls around and the gf hasn't put "forums.jetcareers.com" into some sort of NetNanny and I decide to go back...I want someone to come to ATL and put me out of my misery, I'll supply the bullet and gun...

This is one guy that won't be going back. TSA sucks. My flight instructing job pays me better and treats me better than TSA ever did. All I did at TSA was fight to keep my job. They threaten you with termination from day one. What a crappy place to work.
