When I looked at March's lines, they were upwards of 100/105 hours in Florida. I know they have been reduced for April to the 80-90 range. I just took a look at Billings and saw most lines in the 70's, but one was 88 so it varies. Theres a decent amount of Open Time (paid 1.5 normal rate). Reserve is always 75 hours. I hear down south you can easily fly over your guarantee.

On Autopilot- I can't tell your tone in your remark. Either you're coming on here bragging that you make $2 more per hour where you're at, or still b*tching because you're sour at Silver for what happened to you (2 months ago nonetheless). Either way, you've got to be kidding me....
You know, you talk a lot of fecal matter for someone who doesn't have his facts straight. I told my story some pages ago. NOW if you were there, and witnessed what happened to me personally then your comments would be valid.

And your DAMN STRAIGHT I will ALWAYS thanks Sporty's since it was Armando Covelli that recommended me to go to MCO. Where you there when that Captain told me the reason I was not going to continue in training? Where you there when Chris admitted it? How was your pre-oral Oh that's right, you didn't get one- no one in our class did except me( though the company said they no longer do that) and despite what others have said- they wanted perfection from me- or to know both volumes 100%.

I also invited the perps that did this to me to come on this forum to defend themselves - not one did. So your point is spreading this info and rehashing this is......................

I will tell you my point, defender of the order of Silver. It was to let others know that despite what happened to me there, things did workout for me and to let others know (like the 3 others who left under not so nice circumstances) that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

You are the one that is kidding me - and others.

And what morals and values do the current pilots at Gojets uphold. Please enlighten me.

Most if not all the DEC are prob still in training or IOE. The most junior FLL/TPA capt is 7/06.You may get FLL/TPA temporarily while the fl crews transition to the saab. Holding either wont happen for a while esp since both are supposed to be all sf340 bases by the end of the year. I hear they may keep a couple of 1900s down south as backups or something else.
Days off prob the min 11 for reservere.. if you can hold a line (which is possible with all the movement) maybe 13 to 15 at best since most days off go senior.
Unless you live in CLE its going to be two leg commute to all bases except fll/tpa. My guess would be NE bases if you already live east. Unfortunately you will likely get BIL since they are adding more flights & helena MT as destination out there. At least you dont have to worry about senior fo's upgrading ahead of you for now since they are all training for the saab or far fm upgrading....Good Luck
