Default Silver for trans states

As a former silver guy let me vouch they shouldn’t be in the other category can we flip flop them with tsa in light of the resent news?

Are you “vouching” to put Silver Airways in the regional category on APC? They’re NOT a regional airline.

Yeah screw TSA. Might as well replace them right away with a carrier nobody except for those in FL know about.

Ridiculous statement on your part.

I'm also a former Silver guy and I can vouch that no one outside of Florida knows what Silver is. "Other" is the best place for them.

Our approximate standard for getting your own forum is jet regionals with about 500-ish pilots. If you have props and 500 pilots I'd probably go for that.

It's not a vanity thing, it's just to help manage post traffic.

Agreed. So glad what I pushed for a couple of years ago (this format and threshold), rather than the jumble of everyone in one bucket, has been so widely accepted. Much better that what we had.

Anticipating consolidations and some regionals going out of business by mid 2020’s, this seemed like a reasonable threshold.

Florida!
The 27th region in our nation.
The regional capital is Tallahassee.
The official regional nickname is The Sunshine Region.
It's adjacent to the regions of Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia.
