You are right. I thought the same! I really interest in get hired!

Doubt this is true. they are going to a job fair soon... why would they do that if they weren't hiring any more people?

Yes, the feds have to approve and the company has to decide to act on it.

Anyone know anything about the upcoming SA job fair? I'm invited to it and was wondering if it includes on-site interviews?

The IAD flying has been approved. They want silver to start flying it in July. I doubt it though...they had to cancel the Saab training this month because there was not enough 1900 pilots to cover the current flying. They also have yet to come to an agreement with United for a codeshare. IMO they need to staff the current flying and Saab transition before expanding anywhere. This is nightmare waiting to happen....

New FO mins posted on Silver's website. I would guess the 2 year bond is over and a signing bonus is in the future for new hires. Its not appealing to low timers anymore. Im interested to see whats going on here by late summer.

In my opinion, they need to pull their cards out of IAD or ATL and focus on getting everything in order in FL first, before they start sending aircraft that they dont have, nor to people the fly them, to other bases...then again, what do I know.

As far as a "signing bonus," dont know where you heard that from. I can see the signing contract going away, considering there is wording in the CBA that says that no pilot is to pay for the use of any training equipment. I think it's one of the things the union is working on...

Good luck, with those times you could have a great QOL at skywest or expressjet. I see a huge inability to hire. Once they hire up all the guys with 3+ failed checkrides, duis, or criminal records, they are going to be SOL.
