So My real question for you is what is wrong. Be honest please. Do you have a bunch of DUIs?, other crazy criminal past?, bad pilot with tons of failures?, no college degree?, not born in USA I bet 100%? Uuuug how much longer do we have to deal with these guys? Go home.

You know these gulfstream pukes really have a lot to answer for imo. They infected that joke pinnacle and those rankes. Next up most these guys dont have degrees so when that barf contract came to a vote a year or 2 ago they were the yes men. This all slid downhill and screwed the rest of us. Now this gulfstream operation that calls itself "silver" and is still spraying diarrhea all over our profession. If it was not for gulfstream there would be no pinnacle, and with out those guys there would be no JetU or whatever it was. These guys are the Ebola that infected and took short cuts. Silvers history is a bunch of hacks, they are all at pinnacle now and flunking their delta interviews.
I remember when I had my first beer. You must be a dream to spend time with in the cockpit.

There is probably as much or more BS at Silver than the military.

A few good months to hold Tampa? With the draw down of Atlanta, Tampa might be a pipe dream for new hires.

I agree with you, but I would be more professional about it. Gulfstream was started by a notorious Eastern scab. The guy is a real scumbag. I'm amazed at how much damage this one pilot did to our profession starting with him crossing picket lines.

Ya I took a guess... It took me a few months to hold TPA but that was a year ago.

Of course, the novelty will wear off and you'll have to deal with the reality of the situation. And the Saab is nicknamed the Swedish Sauna for a reason! It is miserable in the south Florida heat. But Silver could be a pole vault to a major. But with the incompetent people running that place I just wouldn't plan on staying for any length of time. Good luck with your decision and thanks for your service.
I agree with what Medic says. It's all up to you. Pilots here are very upset with the company and how management runs things. Silver isn't close to being a good airline but it certainly isn't the worst. We have an ok contract, ie; pay protection, bypass pay, 2-1 duty rig (not the best but regional standard and at least we have it), etc. Don't believe anything the recruiters tell you, it's most likely a lie. Silver is shutting down CLE and ATL so their main focus is going to be Florida and Dulles. The Saab is Purdy but that's about it. Florida's heat and humidity is no joke and that plane is hot! You seem to have a plan, stick to it and do your thing, this place just might give you that total time boos that you need to get on with a major. Good luck

With that said I have about 1200 TPIC and 1700 Total Time so my Total Time is a little low for the Majors and Legacy's right now, but I don't mind spending a year or two at a Regional to build my Total Time without any need to stick around long to get to the left seat due to the TPIC I was able to get in the Air Force and will continue to be able to get in the Guard.

My wife is going back to school in Tampa so for me location is the most important thing and considering Silver is a Florida based airline it seems like a perfect fit. I will also have a part time Guard job so I'm just trying to figure out if we can survive for the next couple years on my Regional and Guard pay until a Major/Legacy calls.

Btw talk about a **** poor attitude dude. Thank you for the total lack of respect towards someone you know nothing about. Best of luck to you.
You are correct, this meah mean individual doesn't seem to have any notion of respect. He's probably the one that needs to go back to...his cave.
