No, but the rest of your application is going to need to be very strong.

Default Typical Day at Silver?

Anyone know what a typical schedule looks like at Silver? I live an hour from base (with no traffic). I’m just wondering if the 2+hour commute everyday would be worth it to be “home every night” vs commuting to a base for a trip.

Travel benefits are very limited at Silver. They do not get benefits like an express carrier would. You will get Travel benefits for you and your family on Silver. Then I believe after about 6 months of employment you will get some travel benefits for you and your family through Myidtravel. Unfortunately using the myidtravel benefits you are always at the bottoms of the standby list.

What is the word on the new contract? Will voting be done soon? Pay raise?

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