Just so we're clear on these "overpaid" screeners who make more money than pilots....
The starting wage for a screener is $23,600
The top out of a screeners pay level is $35,400</font>
According to
TSAscreener, the salary can be quite a bit higher:
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">The truth is: I spoke to a representative from the TSA. She stated that several people have already been notified or have already received a pay increase of $4000, and that several more will be notified in "a reasonable amount of time."
Updated 11/24/02: This is the official criteria for receiving a renegociated pay increase:
1) at least one year of prior screeneing experience prior to employment with TSA;
2) received a written offer of employment prior to April 26, 2002;
3) received a base salary of $36,400;
4) provided sufficient information.
However! I have received letters from others who DID NOT meet the 4 criteria but DID RECEIVE the pay increase.
And I have recieved information from others who DID meet the criteria and have been told "NO pay increase!" </font>
