This is off-topic, but I'm just curious....
Is Silver having any trouble hiring pilots with the 1500 hour rule? It looks like on the Silver APC page that Silver is hiring into the Saab, though I couldn't actually find a job posting when I pulled up the Silver Airways website. Also, does Silver lose many pilots to other regionals?
On the Silver APC page, I didn't see a reference to a new hire contract. I'm assuming that one still exists? Sorry, I don't want to read 309 pages of posts to find the answer.
And one more thing, I noticed on the APC Silver page that the most junior captains were hired January 2012 (1900) and April 2012 (Saab), but it also specifically says that "direct entry captains [are] excluded." Does Silver hire many street captains??

Lose pilots to regionals? No idea... I don't see why they would. 2nd best contract in the whole regional industry. Silver OVERhired street captains on the Saab side, that's a fact. My best advice... Stop reading APC. :-)

I think Air Whiskey, Compass, Horizon, SkyWest, ExpressJet, CommutAir, Piedmont, PSA, Pinnacle,and Mesa have a better contract compared to Silver.
So, in the words of Reese Bobby, "you can be 4th, 5th, 6th, hell you can even be 10th...
