Everyone can do whatever they please with their careers it's not mine to make or destroy. What I will publically come out and say is how the company is run and treats its employees. Every company has issues some more than others.
Cruz glad to see you have moved on. I also respect the way you and other pilots treated me when I left "SLIPPER" Airways. Happy to see you are telling the truth about that place. But I will say this to USMC, You guys tried to warn us newbies about SLIPPER and we defended the place. I know I did.

But they showed me and and others what they were all about early on and then tried to bash us by saying we were the ones with the problem. I still hear about the crap they pull on pilots and others. I will admit and tell you USMC you were RIGHT- YOU and others. SLIPPERS' pilot group the ones I was with- those guys and gals were awesome. I wish nothing but the best for you all.

Blue skies everyone, blue skies.

Good points On Autopilot - but one correction, or clarification, to your post. I never gave any advice about Silver - good or bad - as I had no first, or second hand, information about them.
I have simply followed the thread, and tried to moderate it in such a way as to keep it open, from the beginning.
I only knew it was a rehash of an older operation who had a very bad reputation for some past practices and had hoped that they actually had turned over a new leaf.
It doesn't take someone who has been there though to see some calling down on people who are simply following in their own shoes.

The United pref. interview process to my understanding goes like this:
1) After putting in your time at Silver, you will get a pref interview at a United Express Jet operator i.e ExpressJet, GoJet.
2)Once completing your time their, and have obtained PIC time you will then be allowed to interview with United mainline and be based at Guam on airport ready RSV for 8hrs a day.
*just speculating*

Pref. interview at the place where most of our FOs have left for already? Sounds about right. Wouldn't surprise me if that actually WAS the deal they try to sell us. Only way it would fly with this group is if you go there as a DEC. Otherwise about as useful as an L-shaped condom...

Wow! Not 2 yrs. in business and everybody wants to leave? I was going to ask for an interview, which most people would think is insane because I do mx. for a large airline in Orlando; but it's not flying. If I do still decide to interview, what should I brush up on? What is the pass rate? I have an ATP, CFI/I, MEI, and A&P w/2350 hrs., and 375 multi. I'm not current multi, or very current IFR (I'm working on it, though.)Thanks for the help.
