Silver on the up and up?
Looking at Silver for potential employment. I’ll be a new guy to the 121 world and wanted to get some feedback from present or former employees. I’m a Florida guy, and place more importance on minimizing my commute and work relationships over money, flow, and jets.
1. Is Silver improving and growing as a company? (Lease Order of 20 atr’s seems to be a good sign)
2. Do they work well with military reservists?
3. From date of hire, how long before training starts?
4. Would you recommend it, or choose a larger regional?

1. I believe once the ATRs get on property things will improve. Right now that’s all they are focused on.
2. They work well with the reservist. Only ever heard a few complain and it’s because they were always giving orders at the last minute.
3. The day you start training is your date of hire. Plan 2-3 months from beginning of training to completion of IOE
4. If you live in Florida and don’t want the commute it’s a excellent option. We have a fast upgrade just like any other regional. The pay isn’t the greatest but we are hoping once we get a new contract that it will also improve
