Great news for Florida/Caribbean travelers! The new ATRs should definitely help in alleviating Silver's on-time departure and Mx reliability issues, not to mention the ground level cabin temperature discomfort during the hot Florida summers

News

I am wondering what the recent news is at Silver?
Pay
Bases
Upgrade/Street Captains

PenAir's pay for the same fleet type is higher but not sure if that means anything?

I don't the hurricanes are helping much either. Seaborne might have nowhere to go?

What are the chances of TPA as a new hire?

Junior bases right now are MCO and TPA so you have a big chance to get one of them and if you get MCO, in a couple of months may be 2 you will be in TPA.

Hope that helps.

Pay is not the same than penair.

FO first year start at 34 dollars and basically is a dollar pay raise every year.

As a right now there's no merge with seaborne but who knows with all those hurricane that Impacted the Caribbean that might change but no words on that merge yet. Two separates company so far.

Wow congratulations! I’m also strongly considering Silver for many different reasons. Can you give an advice/insight into the phone interview? Also, are you headed to FLL for the in person interview? I’m sitting around 1100TT, but I’ve mostly been flying VFR aerial survey.

I'm considering Silver and I live in Jacksonville, how easy is it to get a commutable schedule out of MCO? I'd prefer 3 or 4 day trips rather than daily out and backs. I'm looking at Regionals that will make commuting from JAX the easiest. Thanks.
