No, but an airline that provides basic equipment to complete your job, yes. If they are skimping on something as basic as FMS what else is being skimped on.

FMS is basic equipment to do a job? Can't navigate with a VOR yourself? God forbid you have to tune a radio?

Eh the island flights are heavier than domestic flights so you'd want to check a couple days in advance. Pretty sure we can take you but since we've changed over to branded flying I'm not sure the actual procedure.

By that logic, they are skimping on engines too. And by the way, just what kind of FMS can one expect to find in an old Saab 340 anyway?

A pretty nice Universal actually believe it was the UNS1K. It could do a whole lot more if it wasn't in an old Saab.

Is there anything someone looking to jumpseat on Silver should know prior to showing up to the gate?

don't plan on being able to sit in the flight deck jumpseat if the flight is full. Between bags and fuel it will probably be an overweight scenario. I was catching a ride out of base one day when I used to work there on a flight with one seat open. The captain struggled to complete the W&B form while the FO held the whiz wheel like it was a toy and didn't know what to do with it. The CA said I could ride but my suitcase could not. What a sh*t show.

Copy. Also does anyone know of free parking at FLL? I'm commuting from FLL to TPA and will be using Silver and Spirit.

What are the trip lengths (vary from 2 day to 5)?

Is there cancellation pay?

Thanks
