Yikes. It'll take at least 3 or 4 months before we have the fleet for that...

I thought Colgan was still flying the IAH routes for the next month or so.

I thought the 135's at ExpressJet were doing that flying. Wasn't that why they pulled them out of the desert?

Hey guys, this is not the first thread I am posting on, but just trying to get some insight. I only found out about Silver Airways recently from a friend, have only a vague idea about Gulfstream and didn't yet read the entire thread.

The guy who told me about them said they are getting Q400, I didn't find any of that in the thread I read thus far. Guess that was a rumour then since there is nothing on the website either. The salaries for the Saab 23.xx for 1st yr FO is not bad.

Do they have commuter clause? Is Dulles, VA a senior base and would someone with 1170tt and 147 multi have a shot of starting on the Saab or how is that working?

Also hearing about the single occupancy during training sounds generous.

I have applied online, someone on this thread mentioned earlier that they got the interview after calling them (having applied online already).

Can someone please give me a number to call the HR or whoever I should call?

Their career opportunities link is not working and the application doesn't list any phone number.

Whoever told you we are getting Q400's is incorrect at the moment. There has been no word on us getting larger aircraft as of yet, just a lot of rumors.

No commuter clause but you do get personal days that can be used for whatever you want (i.e. you can't get to work).

At 1170 TT you would definetly have a chance at the Saab, especially because as far as I know that is the aircraft we are hiring into . Dulles is not very senior and you could possibly hold it out of training depending on the time frame.

All training accomodstions are single occupancy suites, 24/7 per diem plus monthly guarantee or over. Some months in training you can actually credit 90+ hours depending on how your training days fall etc. you get 4 hours of credit for each work day in training (i.e. you have a 6 day week of training you receive 24 hours of credit).

Things are changing / growing on a daily basis here. There are a lot of positive ideas / rumors / possibilities for 3M so that is good. There are growing pains though and we are short people so you will work.
