We will be flying in and out of DFW. From MIA. Once a year, and that'll be during your 441 in the sim. That's it.

Half of the IAD FOs left this month. New flying? Hah.

Nothing here is truthful.

It's all a support group for those of us who are here dealing with it.

Silver pilots anonymous? Or better yet at this rate it will be survivors of 3M with how to survive with silver PTSD.

Anyone out there interviewed recently? If so, could you PM with details? Hoping to hold ATL or any FL base out of training. Is that even remotely possible?

Just ask the questions here.

Firstly as a Saab FO you'll get IAD or ATL first then you could bid for fl pretty easily after a couple months.

Aren't there FLL slots now? I think FL is the only remotely well staffed region silver has now. I think ATL and IAD are pretty fair game now a days. I heard a rumor the 1900 is being phased out this year?

Don't know about ATL but for IAD Altitude Pads | Commuter Housing for Aviation Crew 3 different packages $150-350 depending on how many days per month. Most are in hotels like the Hyatt with 24 hr shuttle, free breakfast and right near restaurants and grocery stores.

Getting hired and through training

In all honesty, what does somebody who has been out of actual instrument flying for a long time (but who is a rated CFI/I, MEI, and ATP) need to be able to do to get hired, and make it through training (maneuvers, prep,etc.)? Also, is it possible to work a second job at the same time?
