A mix of all, some to LCC (used to be spirit before they stopped hiring, but lots have also gone to frontier/jetblue). These days Breeze seems to be a hot place for a lot of our guys. If they go to a regional it's mainly to Envoy, and some go to ACMI as well. I heard an FO went straight to United but I think he has family connections there

Just an FYI. Usually, an interviewer will ask why do want to work here. Neither of these question will age well. As far as how the hiring and flying go, it is the same everywhere. Get hired, spend 60-90 spdays in training. Training ends one of two ways, with an S or a U. If it is an S, you go flying.

SJU chief pilot is an amazing guy, will send you an email once you get your base assignment. It will provide you with info about the base and other stuff. He has lots of contacts for crashpads/places to stay, etc. Email him/call/text for more info on that. Everyone down in SJU is very helpful and fun to work with. You will have a blast down there.

All of our -500 flying was cargo with Amazon based out of AFW. In June of 2023 Amazon terminated the contract and Silver stopped flying the -500. The pilots from the AFW base were given the option to come to the San Juan/Florida network, some chose to, others didn't. Regardless, to answer your question, Silver no longer flies the -500, only the dash -600.
