They will hire you and then bait and switch you! Silver, previously Gulfstream, has one of the worst histories in the business. The current openings get you to believe you’re going one place but after your hired and show up for class, you’ll be told something else. Most everyone, DECs for sure, are ALL going to AFW not FLL! Don’t believe the ad, the recruiters nor the chief pilot/interviewers. The pay also has a lot of tricks in it AND it’s about to expire. In addition, they’ll tell you that they are about to have big expansion and you’ll get what you want quickly which is not at all true.
Be very careful with Silver and ANYONE that calls you to sell you on it!
I mean to be fair, they have the LOA for their current pay linked on their website/jobs page, and even admit that some bonuses/overrides are currently temporary and subject to further negotiation while the current pay rates are good until 2025. You can then click on the link to see the further break down and read that some bonuses and overrides are good through the end of 2023 while also being subject to further negotiation. That stuff may not be on their Instagram ads, but it's not exactly like they're hiding it. If you're genuinely interested in the job the facts are laid out and linked right on their careers page.

They will place you were you want for the most part. They are trying to expand the AFW opperation. However, people are getting TPA, FLL and SJU right out of training.
You should hear back pretty quickly, within a week or so
Appreciate the info.
I'm also potentially interested in the AFW flying, even though TPA/FLL would be preferred. Should I also apply under the AFW FO application, or is my one I already submitted sufficient?

This is not true. Although the greatest need is in AFW, not all go there. 3 people in my class in September wanted FLL and got it. One wanted SJU and got it, the rest wanted AFW. Everyone in my class got the base they wanted. Just because you had a bad experience with the company does not mean everyone will. People change and companies change, it is not the same place it was 10 years ago.

Looks like they are only hiring street captains for the near term.
FOs are at a surplus as of the moment. But if you have the minimums for the left seat go ahead and apply.

I agree, on their website. There are only hiring high time FOs at the moment
I heard Silver is way behind on gate payments at FLL and might get banned from airport.

Yeah its close to a MILLION. Internal sources say the Broward Country have not budged at all in negotiations. This cant bode well... Definitely not good PR on top of Pax ratings

That's correct. They are dead beats, and squatting at the terminal
