Autopilot, I talked to you at the hotel and you seemed like a stand up guy. When I told you my partner and I were running profiles, you asked if you could join and I said no problem. My post 2 or 3 pages ago wasn't to call you out on a lie, I was simply trying to say that your post had nothing to do with the current state of the thread, and seemed as if you were just coming in to make a point that you got screwed over (whether you actually did or not, is none of my business). That being said, what other people may or may not have done during training is also none of mine, yours, nor anyone else's business. Calling someone out on a public forum, saying they cheated on their wife? Who cares, show some class. I was rooting for you to get through, just as I was the rest of my classmates. And to be honest, I would have loved a mock oral. I'd rather find out that I need some extra help BEFORE the risk of getting a pink slip. I even asked Lilly if we can have one. I wish you the best of luck wherever you're at and hope you enjoy doing it.
To the rest of the people on here interested or on their way to training. As Cruz said, dont let these few rants discourage you. The training at Silver is very thorough, but very fun. Everyone here wants you to get through. My only gripe is don't be surprised at the amount of BS that goes on there. It's expected, as with any other regional. They are growing at a rate that is larger than their staffing capacity. You are being put up in a hotel in the heart of a cruise port, so expect to be moved to a different hotel (though this may not happen). They also say training will be 6 weeks... My class started on Jan 16th, and I'm currently sitting at home awaiting IOE which I was told wont start until the second week of April. The Frasca is old and wil probably be down at some point. Also, training typically coordinates with the maintenance hangar for run ups, aircraft orientations, preflight training, and emergency training. Once they move up to Gainesville I'm not sure how this will all pan out.
Let's prevent this very informative thread from being locked, and act like the adults we are...

Know Section 3 and 4 of the OM1 COLD. That is general information that you'll use everyday. If you dont know it already, you'll learn about C055 and Exemption 3585. This will definitely be on the test, as well as when departure, destination, and 2nd destination alternates are required. If anything else pops to mind, ill be sure to add it to the thread.

What happened here?
I started this thread with a question and after completing training, I have to admit Silver is a nice place to land. My goals haven't changed as I am leaning towards corporate aviation but after meeting so many good people, I am open to staying here a while.
I have no ownership over this thread but my hopes were for an informative collection of posts to help pilots with an interest in a new company that few have inside information about.
The recent crap needs to go away and make room for professional exchanges of experience.

I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't post about my personal life, fact or fiction, and it's my business so get off your moral high horse. BTW, I'm not married, nor have I been, so get your facts straight. Why would Cruz and I both go out and try to get girls when we are both in serious relationships.
It's about time. Good grief, just go away. good luck with your new job.

Just keep it on topic. The mods as well as other folks who are considering going to Silver deserve a professional disscussion rather than this regressing to a Jerry Springer/ Maury Povich type deal. I have my views on Certain people at Silver, you have yours. In reality, it was a my experience post that you got involved with and chose to defend folks who refused to defend themselves.
From now on, I'll just keep it on topic. The people posting on here deserve better.
