Where are you based? I was in the same situation, had a few months of lines my first year + months here. Maybe get a base change to where you can hold a line, or will that not matter? I really feel for you guys stuck on reserve, I know how much it sucks, especially if you're not flying.

All I'm saying is lets not get drunk on Kool Aide and shout from the hill tops how great it is... especially when the person is fresh off IOE. Silver is what it is. Not bad for some, pretty okay for others and horrible for a few. All those variations are pretty much tied back to personal situations and goals in the aviation industry. Yes the company has some issues, but name one that doesn't.

Lets just keep it in perspective and spread complete falsehoods on the internet to a minimum.

Silver is what it is, don't get comfortable and keep updating the resumes you have out there.

BTW, for my fellow Taco Bell fans, the Beefy Nacho Crunchy Burrioto is back!!!!!!!

I'm based in TPA...unfortunately my seniority after a year of being here still doesn't allow me to hold a line at any base. I was told by certain upper management people before getting hired that I would be on RSV for a month at the most and upgrade within 6months. A year has passed and i've only done 300hrs of flying. Really struggling on deciding if i should stay here or go elsewhere.

I just got furloughed, totally unexpected and 3 months before my wedding. Been in the 135 world for the last 10 years and at this point looking at anything. I applied to Silver today and got the call for the interview 3 hours later. I'm going to go at it with a positive attitude and see what they have to say. I've heard bad, I have heard good but will be thankful for any job at this point. Betchya I will be the highest time gear monkey they have...lol Who knows...it seems like they have really tried to dump the gulfstream thing....
