Silver furloughed and most of us opted for a four month leave of absence which we will then be officially furloughed at the end of January. The company has shrunken in size to only 7 aircraft. Total pilots now flying is 60. The other 130 of us are in the wind. Even if the loads start to increase, it will be years before Silver starts to expand again.

Alright let’s clear a few things up here.
Our seniority list was only ~130 strong before furloughs / Leaves. We did furlough, the majority on the chopping block took a LOA which expires in January. The airline has already started recalling the majority of those on furlough or leave of absence, although A LOT have bypassed the recall. Some of the Saab guys on leave are being sent to ATR school.
We added CHS, CAE, and JAX back for November / December with talks of two more destinations in the coming months.
As I like to say, we’ve reached peak Silver. They reduced the staff to save money but quickly realized they can’t operate with those staffing levels.

This is Great News! I Hope I can get in the next ATR Class!

I saw on the orange board that someone in Florida is looking for ATR Captains and First Officers. I assumed it was silver, but if you haven't finished recalls, are you looking for street captains already?

Most of the planes are gone from KMCO. When I first started commuting from SW on 10/20 I could see many planes parked. Last week, I just counted 2 ATR and 2 SAAB. Just saying the planes are no longer in KMCO and no clue if they got disposed or moved somewherelse.
