They are just naive. Don't accuse them of trying to screw others just because they haven't seen how these "scams" are misleading. How many times have these agreements worked well for a minority and left a vast majority of people without a ladder at the worst possible time? Don't punish the ignorant. EDUCATE them.
Out and Pround- while this TA looks great on paper, it is nearly akin to playing the lottery. The interview agreement is a "carrot" offered to get people, just like you onboard. Sure, you may be just fine with that, but historically, someone in your position will never get to take advantage of that agreement. Historically, it's the pilots who are currently either at that point on the list or pretty close. This works for just about anything else, including picking a Regional for pay, upgrade times, base, commute. The odds are very high that you'll be one of the last to enjoy what you seek out, if for a short time. TRUST me. I'm ever mega-positive minded and I follow your philosophy of not going with the crowd just "cuz". I will be the first to play Devil's Advocate when no one wants to rock the boat. From experience, I can tell you that this TA will likely pass. It's neither here nor there for you, though. It has been written for people who are currently PSA pilots and those who follow them will likely have to experience the side effects.
