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??
Isn't every regional having issues hiring w/1500hrs? Silver is hiring for the Beech 1900, and I don't know about the Saab. Beech for sure though as they're looking for an August class. 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. :-)
