Makes since, also heard today from a friend that august bid lines will have all day trips, looks like silvers trying to save money by avoiding hotel exspences, it might work, then again i know there are a fair amount of pilots that commute in, so will they relocate to bases like fll, mco ? Havnt heard if iad is going to out and backs also, no more key west over nighters ! Glad i left before that happened lol

My 2 cents is that Silver has lost direction and goals. It seems like all we do is close down and shut down. I think of the 6 stations we wanted to expand too only one has worked. I just don't know what this management team really wants next? We are never going to have a great on time record with the Saab doing the flying we normally perform. So what is next?

Jay its not the saab, i still fly the saab and other operations dont have on time problems with it, i actually think that silver going to day trips might work, it works for other regionals that focus on a smaller geographic area, ie pen air and ravn in alaska. Think about it, we all have stories of how much money silver waits on unnessisary hotels, then only to see them give you the shaft on an in base wx or mx cancelation, me i still have the $800 dollar recept they paid for a one night hotel bill for me in key west, on a dh flight they didnt even need me on. They are waisting so much money on hotels its probly amazing, so id say wait and see
