Being bought out doesn't necessarily make a company a safe bet...
From inception, being born onto the shaky foundation that was Gulfstream Airlines, I don't think that the airline has ever found solid footing. They lost a large EAS contract out of Atlanta a few years ago due to poor performance. Which was later followed by their partnership with United Airlines dissolving. Having previously been at the very bottom of the industry in regards to pay etc, they sure haven't had the easiest time recruiting highly qualified candidates. And seem to burn through Chief Pilots at an alarming rate. Hopefully they can turn it around. But from what I've seen i wouldn't hold my breath. Being a commuter from Florida (with a family home in D.C.) I very briefly considered them as an option. However after researching the company and the origins of the company I felt that Silver would be a risky place for me to hang my proverbial hat. I have a feeling that Silver won't be able to keep up with the upward trend we're currently seeing in the rest of the regional airline industry.
Of course, all this is from the perspective of someone looking in from the outside...
