I'm just a High School Intern with FLL Operations, so I feel a bit out of place replying on here. Anyways, I sat down and had lunch with the Manager of Safety for Silver Airways yesterday at a NTSB Disaster Seminar.
After our conversation I gained enough knowledge about Silver to answer two of tom11011's questions.
He stated that by October Silver will likely be an all Saab fleet after decommissioning CLE operations.
He also said that Silver isn't "hurting" for pilots, however they are always looking for pilots. Hence the $12,000 signing bonus. He also stated you need at least 1500hrs just to get an interview.
Even though most of you fella's knew all this information just thought this would be a good opportunity to introduce myself to the thread. Happy trails!

I have an interview coming up in 4 weeks and was surprised to learn that there is no sim eval. Anyway, my question is this... How is training on the Saab? I'm a former ERJ driver getting back into the industry after a four year absence. Systems and procedure difficulty as compared to higher tech RJ's? Whats training like?
