I think this is the curious language in that ad...

"We would like to extend an open interview invitation for all commercial airline pilots that possess current experience in the following:
121 Operations; Cabin Size of 34 Seats or Greater; Turboprop aircraft
Flight experience in the following operational environments:
Washington, DC; Florida and Bahamas"

I would not get upset about it. It appears the Regionals are tying to scavenge from other pilot groups. Trying to get their staffing up, sort of the Regional with the most Pilots wins mentality. Hay some of your pilots might go and you will move up or down in seniority.

Food for thought.

Any Silver guys able to provide me a load check on a 6:45am flight from FLL to TPA tomorrow, Saturday morning? I'm looking to jumpseat home, but this is the only flight of the day.

So Silver now increased the number of aircraft we are giving up from two to five? That's a pretty big change when you only have 27 planes and they are braking a lot...

It's just nature taking its course. There's no future at Silver.

I applied and interviewed at Silver in April of 2012. I called the HR lady every 2 weeks for 3 consecutive months. Her answer everytime was "be patient" "don't worry we will call you". I eventually gave up and got a non-aviation related job.

Would it make sense to re-apply at Silver since it's local or would that pretty much make me look like a duma$$?

Also, if you google Silver Airways reviews, It doesn't look too good as far as customer complaints regarding delays and cancelations, but I just want to get the ball rolling. Tired of sitting on the ground.

Why not go to a better regional?

You have the TT and Multi requirements. Put a map of the regionals up and throw a dart at it..........the choices are endless right now. I mean if you really want to fly turboprops, I hear Great Lakes is still hiring lol.

But seriously, you could go anywhere right now, why fly a turboprop?
