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....

If you'd have some better senority, I'd say hang around. But if you're already at the bottom of the list here, then yes, leave for something else. No matter where you go you'll end up at the bottom of some other place's seniority list, on reserve.
There are some guys here who have a flying job on the side, but they keep it hush hush. Maybe the CP will give you prior permission, especially if it will help prevent you from not having the 1500.
BTW, if any of you guys in IAD ever want to take a tour of the Ramp tower, it's pretty cool and the guys working are awesome also.

I remember being a bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, ex-SIU CFI hearing that I would upgrade in 12 months on the ERJ.
Man was I happy about that....in 2008.
Hell I don't think I would have been old enough.

I heard through the grapevine that we are losing close to 50 pilots due to them not meeting the 1500hours by august. I'm about 50 hours shy of 1500hrs. I'm thinking maybe if I hang around I will probably be able to become a line holder and move up to seniority. Again it's all rumors, who knows what will happen. This Sux!

Someone do the math for the IAD, ATL, and FL systems and we'll have a better idea of what to expect.

I doubt the number is that high. I can tell you that only 2 from the CLE system aren't going to make it. One only by less than 50 hours. My guess is that there's only 3 or 4 from BIL that won't make it.
