For anyone hoping they are going to give a raise- if they wanted to be on par with other airlines they would have to bump pay by 5-7 dollars/hr. with 250 pilots on staff that comes to a yearly total of $1,125,000 to $1,575,000.
That's just pilots based on the FO scale. So I admit it may not be precise but it's close enough. They might give a raise, but it will still be substandard. So I say keep dreamin' guys

Wouldn't say it is drinking kool aide either. I personally think it is only reasonable and logical to expect the investment company that owns Silver to continue to grow the airline as we are currently no where near juicy enough to sell off.
I think they learned a lot last year with the rapid expansion of the Saab fleet and tackling Sabre pretty much at the same time. I honestly think (and I could be wrong) that Silver is in a much needed lull period before the next phase of growth. When or what that will be... who knows??

So, financially if I'm understanding the captain upgrade right, it'd be cheaper ($$$ wise here) to upgrade someone who already has their type, and just got 1,000hrs 121/135 than someone who has 1,000+ but no type... I know Silver is all about the $$$ pinching.
You're kidding right? Please tell me you don't think this way. Your post seems a bit opportunistic.
