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.

Default 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?

Looking for punishment.... At this point in the game 3M has stability issues, it could be any day, hopefully I'm wrong for those still there. I enjoyed the flying, the B1900 and Slaab are being missed, but for me the writing was on the wall.

I hear if Silver loses 10 more pilots, they will have to cease operations. Is this true?

I'm not sure if that's true or not. But if this "shortage" does materialize it will most likely be great lakes, silver, and commutair that fail first probably in that order.

They may have to cease ops in CLE, IAD and ATL, retreating to Florida only. But system-wise, the wheels keep turning. We haven't quite gotten down to Great Lakes levels of desperation...yet.
