I think I figured out the answer to my own question. When тысяча is used by itself, it has a different spelling than when it is used with another number, such as десять тысяч.

тысяча - singular, nominative caseOriginally Posted by SoftPretzel
тысяч - plural, genitive case
Both are pronounced exactly the way they are spelled. If you "omit" 'a' in "тысяча" you'll effectively change the word's case and number.
In fast speech "a" in "тысяча" can be reduced, but it's still there.
