Florida bases are not as senior as you would think for the FO's. New hires have been getting both TPA and FLL right out of training. As for the EAS stuff Silver has, it isn't going anywhere. Silver has several bids in to increase the EAS flying not get rid of it. As for moving up the seniority list, it could be 100 1,000 or 10,000 pilots. Doesn't matter much really. Movement up is good. As for you not being comfortable flying passengers? Your choice. As far as applying and IF I get the job I can make a decision then? I already made that decision. I was in the January class. Wouldn't change a thing.

By all means if you can think of a better place to go where movement happens even half this fast please let me know. Your comments were not disrespectful per se and that is what I was attacking is the silver thread douche bag of the day award winners(hmmmm the STDDA. I will be nominating those that are worthy. Stay tuned!). People that come on here and say something that is about as mature and coherent as Lindsay Lohan at a family reunion. In closing, thank you for your respectful comments and polite demeanor (and not being a STDDA nominee) however i disagree with your thoughts.
