How does it look for hiring with Silver lately? I'm sitting at around 1100 TT/100 ME, finishing up my A&P, ex military and have a college degree.

My recommendation: Get your ATP mins and go to a different regional.

Are we sure we're NOT getting pink ties? They just kept saying the ties were being "custom made" and hadn't shipped from China yet.

How come? Just curious. I'm actually quite happy where I live in FL and they have a few bases within an easy driving distance. I'm thinking more on the line of comfortable flying on routes I've done a dozen times outside of the airlines.

There's nothing wrong with coming to 3M. We are experienceing some growing pains etc., however outside of that 3M isn't a bad place. Other regionals have just as many or more issues than we do. I would definitely recommend tossing a resume in. Sounds like 3M could provide you with a descent QoL.

how long would the upgrade time be at silver do you think in the coming year? how often do you folks have to move around or switch bases? I have an offer for a 135 gig but the hours are less and it requires a huge move for my family. I would like to stay East of the Mississippi if I can and fly my bottom off.

Went ahead and dropped my resume in. The application asked if I had 1200 TT or not. Worth a shot. I'm currently flying 135 PIC (VFR), so hopefully that'll put some weight in. It is good to see them trying to change their ways and reinvent themselves. AirTran did a pretty good job after the ValuJet incident.

Would anyone be willing to pm me a bid package from one of the FL bases? I would like see what the trips look like. I don't think bid packages are considered confidential. I know they're not at my current airline.
