Like I said, for all you new pilots here, be prepared to get shuffled around. Those who have previous 121 experience will know this song by heart already.

Yeah, Good Luck to them on finding bodies now. I wonder why they went to 1500 now? I hope someone in HR doesn't think the new law goes into effect August 2012.

There isn't time to train the new hires in the 1900 and then do the transition training. Why train someone to fly something that is going away? The answer is they're not going to. EVERYONE is going to the Saab it's just a matter of getting them on property and getting the flights started ASAP... If this weren't true then why the street captains? I know it stinks for those in the 1900 right now but I think the fact that they're doing it this way shows how much growth they are ramping up for... I'm excited to be on board...
Congrats and that's really good news to hear concerning the growth and what's perceived as the potential stability of this (new) company.

I didn't see this mentioned before - but does any of the folks that have been through Silver training have any advice to offer on things to bring that may not be mentioned to us, or that we may not think of to bring?
I apologize, this is my first 121 experience...looking forward to making the most of it.
To those of you whom sent me PMs before, I got locked out for a while I guess because they allowed you to do so before I hit 15 posts. Took me a long time via emails etc., to get back in, but my PMs are all gone as a result. So if you sent me something previously please note I was not ignoring you, and wish to thank you for trying!
