TSA pay and shift schedule at Tri-Cities Airport
What a Transportation Security Officer is paid at PSC, 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 PSC publishes, and what it looks like in the app.
TSA's own airport fact sheet states that Tri-Cities is assessing candidates for part-time positions with varied workdays, and then states the thing almost no other fact sheet does: "Bidding for shifts is completed by seniority once a year."
Sunday to Saturday, twice — the same order the calendar runs in.

September 2026
The two days off in the month above are an example, and that is the point. THIS IS THE AIRPORT THAT EXPLAINS THE WHOLE SECTION. TSA does not publish which days are off here either - but it publishes WHY: shifts are bid by seniority, once a year. The days are not assigned and they are not fixed; they are won, and won again every twelve months. Columbus states the same thing on a six-month clock. Nothing in a published tour can tell you your days off when they are decided that way, which is exactly why the calendar on this page is one you set yourself. You mark your own two days once and the year fills itself in.

Questions
Is $40,736 before or after locality pay?
After. TSA states the range for PSC as $40,736 to $56,844 and says in the same sentence that it includes locality pay of 17.06%. The same band at an airport in a cheaper locality pays less.
