People come here because either no one else would hire us, or the quick upgrade (assuming someone didn't want to become a lifer), so now that other places are hiring (more willingly than before) that are better and no upgrades in sight for the majority of F/Os, I don't think they can attract anyone.

From what I'm hearing as far as going to the "Dream" company, they either want jet or PIC time, preferably both. None of which will happen for the vast majority of us here. Why stay here another year building time in a turboprop (which no one seems to care about anyways) when it would be better getting some jet time? Others have different reasons of leaving (Cruz) but I got some experience to make myself more marketable for other regionals (amazing what some Turbine 121 and an ATP ticket will do) that wouldn't have bothered to call me when I had only CFI and flying a few GA airplanes coast to coast trips for experience.

No matter what happens, if I'm on an overnight and I see you (former Silver Alumni) I'll stop and say hi and possibly have a beer or two with you.


Quality of life is everything. Unfortunately it's something this company fails to see. There is a lot of good people here at silver and it will suck not being able to work with them anymore, in the end it's the big picture one has to be focused with. Hopefully one day they will realize the value of their employees and not trample over them.

Agreed! At this point, where every regional is hiring and no shortage of work, QOL is now important. One of the reasons why I left silver, after sitting on rsv for a whole year, and possibly be on rsv for longer.

I just dont understand the need to feel like the company is giving you a big warm fuzzy hug.... Its business. We fly Saabs on EAS routes.... It is what it is...

With a side of QOL*, please and thank you.

*by QOL, I mean hub basing and a commutable** schedule.

**by commutable, I mean a reserve complement that allows for trip trades/drops without an executive order/act of [insert deity of your choosing here].

never said they have to give you a hug.......read the post a little closer next time:) just said update your stuff, and move on to something bigger and better something that pays more. Has better lines, and commutability. That equals a better QOL, if your not happy where your at. Either way the company doesn't care they will find someone else to fly for them. They may not be the best pilots. When everyone else has the same mins, and the pay is higher at other companies!
