Are new hires still going to the Saab? If so, anyone know when they’ll put them in the ATR?

Does silver hire direct entry captains with prior TPIC time? I thought I read about it in past pages but the career site only talks about FOs.

With all the regional jet operators hiring, short upgrades, better travel benefits, and better tie in for interviews and flows, why would anybody choose to go to Silver? Serious question. Genuinely interested in why a pilot with 121 mins would bypass airlines with jet/fms experience, better travel benefits on global airlines, quick upgrades, decent pay with bonus checks too, and three have direct flow to a legacy, not the lowest LCC?
Is it a base close to home thing?

So I know I’m starting to weigh the pros and cons of good QOL living at base on a turbo prop, or having the worst QOL at Envoy for DEC commuting reserve in LGA indefinitely.

Our bases are FLL, TPA, MCO. We are having a class every month. You will get whichever bade you want. Reserve will probably be two months. Plan on flying between 50-100 hrs/month.

We are hiring street captains.
