I've heard that as well, even to the poin that it is going to happen, just a matter of when. On that note, I've heard June 1st if it is happening.

Are most of your pilots commuting to work or Silver has managed to pick up pilots that already live in their out stations? (Aside from the FLL group...)

Hi group,

I noticed Silver opened their application window up for pilots about 2 weeks ago. I was wondering if interviews are actively taking place or if anyone has been given any class dates from this application period?

I have a few questions. I notice on the job posting on the silver website it says Ft. Lauderdale. Does that mean they are looking to hire pilots in that domicile?

I managed to read through about 50 pages of this thread, from what I can gather, back in November there were 18 saabs and they wanted to be down to 8 1900's by April. Any new Saabs on the property now? I wanted to know what was driving the hiring of pilots as it seems that from what I have read there are alot of pilots not flying alot right now.

Also, does Silver have open arrangements for jumpseating with most carriers?

Thanks

They are not hiring into FLL right now. They are hiring for Billings, Montana and Dubois, Pensilvannia.

You would be going to the Beech 1900 at $19/hr.

I do believe they are CASS, so yeah, you can jumpseat around...

The interview is in FLL, they are not hiring into that domicile specifically. FLL is very senior . I'm not sure about actual class dates. Has anyone heard any dates? We are up to 22 Saabs and should be at 25 by April sometime.

Thanks for your response. Any idea if they would look favorably or un-favorably on prior experience flying the Saab 340A or Captain time?
