SilverBullet,
Plenty of guys have been hired at Silver this past year with very little recent experience. The negativity on this board gets a little exaggerated at times. There are definitely some issues with management and contract violations etc., but our union does a pretty decent job of keeping them in check. We do have a pretty decent contract, "most" of which usually gets followed. Obviously the pay is lower than at the "jet" regionals, but for someone who lives in Florida, I think Silver a pretty decent option.
Currently the most junior person in Orlando has five months of seniority. It looks like the most recent class all went to Fort Lauderdale.
