PM me with my name...

My bad. I was actually just referring to GearOperator. As in "Hey GearOperator, I could tell everyone here who you are."

Damn! I thought my cover was blown ;)

Hey guys. Have an interview with silver scdugled and was hoping to get a few questions answered. Surprised to see a 6k signing bonus. Tips to pass the interview? How are the flight benefits, talked to one captain and he did not know, Upgrade time still 1.5 years? How hard is it to get Clarksburg as a base? I live in WV. How is training? Yes i know their is a lot of studying involved, I know 121 training programs pretty well but some companies are worse than others. Some are impossible and some help you to learn. Please give me a extensive recall of training. What is it like to work for silver? Yes all regionals could be better i know, however other than staffing problems i have not heard anything mortally bad about Silver. Looks like a nice place to stay at while building time and the 2 pilots that i have had a chance to jumpseat with were over all happy. I appreciate any and all info, interview tips, ect. Thanks to all and happy flying.

O boy this should be fun.... Just read back on all the posts from the last 6 months that'll give you a good idea how it is over there. People wouldn't be bailing left and right if it was such a stellar place.

I understand that a lot of people are leaving but for better options. Like i said that any regional has it faults but as long as they aren't forging duty times on pilots paperwork and shady stuff like. Whats the place like? I have looked back about 10 pages on the forum and have not found anything to valuable. So just to refresh the thread for us looking for jobs, any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Anybody knows who this ex waterskier is? :)
By the way, why did you stop water skiing for this?

What's important to you when analyzing a perspective new airline you are considering working for? I think if you answer those questions you might get a worthwhile response. For example, how would you rank the following in order of most important?

Domiciles
Upgrade time
money
per diem
quality of life
reserve schedule
scheduling
hotels / accommodations
jump seating
travel benefits
401k
health insurance
maintenance
training
equipment
growth plans and potential
management personnel
union v management cooperation

I think you are likely to find that there might be a regional or two (or more) that does a little better than Silver for many of the items listed here, just by the shear size of the airline alone. However, you might find Silver excels in one particular area better than another airline and maybe that one thing is really important to you such as a domicile.

Your best bet is to probably make another post asking for the opinions of pilots who have only been on the property for less than 6 months to see how they feel about their decision.

Or, you could just say who cares, take the job, get 6 months in and move on to greener pastures.

Any and all are valid ways of doing this.
