I get fitted every other year for masks in the military, both positive pressure and Chemical / Biological. Its one of those 15 minute seal tests, where you have to read out of a book while moving your head in multiple uncomfortable positions. The machine says I pass every time.

I know other countries airlines allow beards, and I know Hawaiian allows them, but was unsure about Silver, or any others.

Any info would be appreciated (except your personal opinion on why you don't like beards)
No beards allowed

No DEC on the ATR, They’re doing DEC Saab only!

Any idea when there will be a pay increase? $34 is pretty low.

No idea. The contract is still in negotiations.

I'm an offline pilot trying to rely on a jumpseat from MHH to FLL on 6/21.

Will I have any problems getting a seat in the back? I realize I won't be able to actually ride in the jumpseat because its international.

Load check?

I really appreciate the help.

Can folks at Silver discuss the current QOL situation?
What does the average schedule look like as far as legs per day go as well as average days off per month?
I understand there's a good mix of home-every-night and 3/4 day trip pairings, are both of these obtainable by all seniority or does one go more senior than the other?
Are you seeing lots of 121 career progression - pilots moving onto NK, JB, and the like? Legacies as well?

Thanks!

-I think, QOL at Silver for most crew members is due to being able to drive to base and trips that have you home most nights. Other QOL factors for some are; flying around FL, Bahamas and Caribbean, transitioning to new ATR 42/72's and regularly flying with crews you know.

-Average schedule is 3-5 legs per day and per the CBA the minimum days off per month is 11. Although, most lines usually have 12-15 days off a month unless you are on reserve then it is usually 11.

-FLL and TPA lines are mostly day trips with a few overnights. MCO has about an even mix of lines that have overnights and lines that are just day trips. It varies month to month as to which lines go more senior.

-Most FO's have the hours to upgrade to CA after about 12-18 months flying here. Silver has a pathway program with Frontier and recently CA's have moved on to Frontier, CA's have also moved on to Spirit.
