I think you are likely to find that there might be a regional or two (or more) that does a little better than Silver for many of the items listed here, just by the shear size of the airline alone. However, you might find Silver excels in one particular area better than another airline and maybe that one thing is really important to you such as a domicile.

Your best bet is to probably make another post asking for the opinions of pilots who have only been on the property for less than 6 months to see how they feel about their decision.

Or, you could just say who cares, take the job, get 6 months in and move on to greener pastures.

Any and all are valid ways of doing this.
