So, raising starting pay isn't the answer, but a $12000 signing bonus is? Ummmm, ***?!

So the industry is about 5+ weeks out from the new ATP rules. Have a look at

News for June 23rd, 2014 | Airline Pilot Info
New ATP rules will reshape pilot hiring

An interesting point is the simulator requirement is for aircraft with a gross weight of more than 40,000 lbs. Even if airlines decide to foot the bill for this training just to take a written test, Silver doesn't fly aircraft or simulators with this gross weight.

I was curious how the Silver training department is gearing up for this requirement. I don't know if it is fair to say or not fair to say that Silver is uniquely placed in this predicament?

Looks like it's return to lessor. They have to save money for those sign on bonuses.

They shouldn't have to they're short handed I would think. Maybe after the ATL reshuffle they might be a bit on the fat side.
