I think Air Whiskey, Compass, Horizon, SkyWest, ExpressJet, CommutAir, Piedmont, PSA, Pinnacle,and Mesa have a better contract compared to Silver.

So, in the words of Reese Bobby, "you can be 4th, 5th, 6th, hell you can even be 10th...

Air Whiskey is #1, per stats, not per my opinion.

Fair enough... Out of curiosity, who is your #1 in your opinion since Silver is #2?

We have 75hr guarantee, and a lot of reserve guys that I've talked to on the B1900 fly closer to 90hrs, by choice. A few guys this past month have flown 102+hrs. That right there is more than most regionals.
That's funny... 'cause none of the reserve guys I've talked to fly that much. Most of 'em sit around all month patiently awaiting their allowance from the 727574upsStickyFingerKnuckleChildren fund.

However, I will agree that Silver is a step up from our alma mater.

That doesn't make sense... There is a captain I talked to in recurrency this past week that flew 103hrs last month... He was telling me some FO's were doing the same.

Silver's CBA is pathetic, it is about as big as our winter ops handout we got to carry with us last winter. You need to get out more sir, silver is a joke.
