I'm not going to sit here and explain in detail what has happened to me or the many others but you're pretty ignorant to what goes on all around you. I'm glad that you enjoy Silver enough to stay though, by staying put for that elusive upgrade you enable this place to continue what they do best and that's take advantage of their employees from station agents up to management. A lot of people came for the quick upgrade or chance at 121 I know I did, but this was not the same airline I was hired at. It's not just the shine of 121 wearing off either after continual beat downs I said enough is enough I'm not going to stay here for this supposed magical PIC I'll need to move on. My philosophy is this... If it's meant to be it'll be if I get to a Major great!!! In the mean time though I'm going to respect my self worth and not allow myself to be treated like a grade school-er for a measly 2K a month paycheck with 7-10 days at home. Like I've said all along if you're ok with mediocrity GREAT!!! Every person has their own ideas on what works best for themselves. Like I said I've spoke with multiple people up the chain of command to right wrongs as I and others saw them and I was on the scheduling committee for our base as well remember that was all volunteer and I had no qualms about it either. Only changes I saw were for the way worse. I call an ace an ace and a spade a spade only good thing about this airline now is the coworkers I've befriended. I'd bend over backwards to help any of our pilots out because we've all been pulled through the mire together even you buddy.

 

I don't need to post details because it really is that bad and enough on here know the hell I was put through. It would not happen at another airline because it's a major lawsuit and if it did it would be corrected very quickly. I have one man to thank for my continued employment at Silver and he's no longer there. He was as sincere as could be and his handshake on a deal meant something unlike my incident. Real men keep to their word they agree on and shake on it. As for luster of a new place I have none. It's the same job description as the previous one I had. I go to work and get paid the only difference between the old and new is the size of the paycheck and benefits I don't care about what kind of plane it is. My excitement is getting to move somewhere I've always wanted to go if the luster of that wears off then I come right back to home and commute.

 

Agree...IDK of another company I have worked for where a situation like Cruz's would have been handled in the manner our CP handled it.

Not ALL bad but diamond in the rough?

Everyone's "career job" has an application process that includes checking boxes. Check these boxes as quickly as possible while maintaining the highest QoL possible in the process. This "diamond in the rough" is a boxing checking service. If the boxes are not being checked and/or you can go somewhere else and check box(s) faster or multiple ones at one time (i.e. DEC's ... TPIC, TT, PIC Type), then it may be time to move on...

 

Nice meme now this conversation is over you're fired.

 

Hey there. Sorry to barge into the conversation. I have a question for any Silver Pilots. I am going to be commuting from the Bahamas. We (United) just became code share instead of partner. Hence, I can't list for a seat. Do you all accept United jumpseaters in the back from the Bahamas to FLL? Thanks for any help in advance. BTW, I've had great service from you all in the past. Keep up the great work.
