Silver Emerging Aviators

Hello Everyone,

I am an instructor at a Part 141 university and came across Silver's program. I would love to live in Florida and my ultimate career goal is a fractional carrier or business aviation. Would you recommend signing up for the program or looking at other airlines?

I don’t think we have many Silver pilots floating around here, but figured I would try anyway.

Is it possible to commute from the outstations? I realize cargo side is the most junior right now, but once you were able to hold a passenger line, would commuting from PNS or CHS be something that’s possible?

Bonus for me because I was able to fly another 4 days with him... Word was he returned to South Korea with KAL on the 738, his father was a 330 Captain there... Judge pilots for their skills not the Company on the resume...

Unfortunately hiring departments at the better airlines usually incorporate a feed back system on new hire performance. If you are coming from Silver you will have a bigger hill to climb when it’s time to move on.

Anyone have updates on the rumored deal with AA? Curious if it goes through when that may start?

I'm not at Silver but from a friend who is:

AFW is the junior base. (Amazon ATR cargo flying). It is mostly all night flying, out and back. Meaning you are responsible for your own accommodation between work shifts unless you plan on moving there or already live there.

Sounds like they'll be coming out with a new contract very soon with added pay to try to curb attrition and to attract pilots. There are issues here and there, but any airline you go to is going to have positives and negatives. It's a great company, really is.

Would love to have an opportunity to interview with Silver Airways as I live close to AFW. I applied a little while back, but have not heard anything. If anyone is willing to provide a phone number and/or email to their recruiting team, please DM me.
