How come? Just curious. I'm actually quite happy where I live in FL and they have a few bases within an easy driving distance. I'm thinking more on the line of comfortable flying on routes I've done a dozen times outside of the airlines.

There's nothing wrong with coming to 3M. We are experienceing some growing pains etc., however outside of that 3M isn't a bad place. Other regionals have just as many or more issues than we do. I would definitely recommend tossing a resume in. Sounds like 3M could provide you with a descent QoL.

how long would the upgrade time be at silver do you think in the coming year? how often do you folks have to move around or switch bases? I have an offer for a 135 gig but the hours are less and it requires a huge move for my family. I would like to stay East of the Mississippi if I can and fly my bottom off.

Went ahead and dropped my resume in. The application asked if I had 1200 TT or not. Worth a shot. I'm currently flying 135 PIC (VFR), so hopefully that'll put some weight in. It is good to see them trying to change their ways and reinvent themselves. AirTran did a pretty good job after the ValuJet incident.

Would anyone be willing to pm me a bid package from one of the FL bases? I would like see what the trips look like. I don't think bid packages are considered confidential. I know they're not at my current airline.

Is it true that Silver Airways C.P., has been hitting soft balls for the pink team out of Ft. Lauderdale? I've seen those guys playing pretty frequently down on the docks near the cruise port after dark. Oh well....... good luck.
