I am at TSA and while I enjoy going to work to fly, I hate that I never know what is going to happen and all the bitching and moaning about things, while nobody ever seems to want to do anything to fix things, so I am thinking I am going to jump ship. I have been here since January and have been a line holder for 2 months, it is pretty nice, but I made the same money on reserve and worked less. I do live in STL so that is why the job is not too bad. What is the time frame for reserve in IAH(probably my first choice)? How are bases assigned in class, age, SSN? I am planning on staying in STL and getting a crash pad where ever I go and I dont think the commute would be to bad to IAH. What is the schedule like on reserve, 6 on 1 off? Does it look like hiring will continue at its current high rate? Are lots of people leaving for majors? Sorry, I have lots of questions. I am not worried about the interview or training, just QOL right now and enjoying my job a bit more. Thanks for all the insight.
