Didn't see this coming...

SILVER AIRWAYS PROPOSAL TO PROVIDE SUBSIDIZED AIR SERVICE AT GREENVILLE; LAUREL/HATTIESBURG; AND TUPELO, MISSISSIPPI AS WELL AS MUSCLE SHOALS/FLORENCE/SHEFFIELD/TUSCUMBIA, ALABAMA AND GREENBRIER/WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, WEST VIRGINIA

Flying will be with Saabs. Looks like we're going to need a lot more of them.

That's a proposal, not a contract.

I saw on another forum that someone said they had a Silver pilot in the jumpseat the other day and they stated FO mins are now 750TT. Anyone have any information on this?

I too have heard that 750TT is the new minimum in light of the new ATP law.

It's for sure going to get interesting here, but then again we could all have smoking being blown up our rears. I'm not sure what's going to happen when the 1500 hr rule will kick in, if some of the pilots do reach 1500TT, also heard that pilots under 23 might have to walk away from the job until they are 23. But as always, I'll believe things when the stations are opened, not saying that I wouldn't mind going to fly out of IAH or IAD.

This is what I did for 3 months and it worked for me I guess. Good Luck.

Most,if not all who have been hired here didn't get the job by being idle and waiting for them to make the move. Apparently the stack of resumes is pretty huge, so if you don't stand out by being a pain and keeping your name in the front of their thoughts, you're resume will remain in the pile never to see the light of day.

"TUPELO, Miss. — After rejecting two earlier rounds of bidding by smaller airlines hoping to provide commercial service in Tupelo, city and airport officials might have an offer they like.

Air Choice One and Silver Airways turned in their bids, and Tupelo Regional Airport Executive Director Josh Abramson said he likes what he sees in Silver."
