TSA pay and shift schedule at Charlotte Douglas International Airport
What a Transportation Security Officer is paid at CLT, and the shifts TSA publishes for this airport — from the agency’s own vacancy announcement and its own fact sheet.
TSA publishes a fact sheet for every airport it screens, and it sets out the tours worked at that one. Here is what CLT publishes, and what it looks like in the app.
TSA's own airport fact sheet gives the tour as "Full-Time 40 hours per week 5 days/week 8-hour shift", and states that "Schedules are gained by seniority bidding only and may include AM, PM, weekends and holidays". The airport "maintains a seven days per week flight schedule from 4 a.m. to 11:30 p.m."
Sunday to Saturday, twice — the same order the calendar runs in.

The two days off in the month above are an example, and that is the point. CLT is the one sheet in this section that says outright how a schedule is obtained: by seniority bid and nothing else. Which five days you work is decided at the bid, so two officers on the same tour can have completely different weeks. You mark your own two days once and the year fills itself in.
