I know nothing about the FA thing but classes should be going for the foreseeable future.

Hey Guys,

I just want to know what Silver asks in the interview? And the sim ride. Also the B1900 would they stay in FLL? I live in Miami so just wondering if i would get FLL?. Thanks for any advice

It wont really matter anyways with the upcoming shortage, might as well have higher pay and a better qol. If you're up for a low qol or having no life at all, join a commuter. Honestly guys ***** and complain all the time at regional operators but at the same time they're not in a real hurry to get out unless delta or southwest calls because after all it does give them a decent living.

For all your questions...please call Darrell Richardson at 954-985-1500.

Also, anyone know what the FAs are starting at? I have a friend who's looking.

I have heard $18.50. No idea how many hours per month.

1900s will not be in Florida. FLL and MIA will be Saab bases.

I notice a lot of people tearing on the starting pay ($19/hr), BUT, the most JR. cap't on the BE1900 is 7 months ago (Nov. 2011) Then, from that point you make $33/hr. Thus! After only 6 or 7 months you're kick'n your buddies butts that didn't wash out at that regional jet carrier. LoL! Seems an okay deal. If only it weren't on a BE-1900's :(. But, as many have said, that wont last long. And, the Saab is a transport category aircraft. 30+ seats. You can parlay that for a good seat at a better op. from a life-career perspective.

Sucks that they lock you in on the B1900 for a year. :(

Dude we all know what a Saab is. Loose the "transport category" hardon!:D

I know, I know. But I think we all know there appear to be two Silver Airways. That which gives you what you need to move to the majors and that which does not. =\

Can anyone tell me about schedules on the moon? I mean, in Billings? 4 on 3 off? Return to Billings every night? Out on trips?

It all depends on the job climate. I know guys that had 500tpic in a Saab and went to fly MD11s. Colgan guys have gone to Continental, United, Airways, Northwest, Delta, Virgin America, JetBlue, etc.

In some states, you could get arrested if you did that in public.

Thanks for the reply. Do you know what the pilot training schedule is like? Looks like I may be in the 07/09 class. Just wondering if its a 7 days a week thing, weekends off, etc. What about a training footprint? Time from Indoc to IOE?
