Silver Airways
Thoughts I had during cruise: Maybe the recent Beech FO class and Beech upgrade class were announced in anticipation of an upcoming system staffing bid. 7 of the 11 captains in CLE are junior to most of the first officers in CLE and are easily junior to just about every first officer on the Saab. If a SSB did come out, all 7 captains from CLE might be displaced from their current positions to Saab first officer spots.

Not to mention all these DEC captains would be pushed down to rsv and don't know how many would like that or much more stick around. Of course depends if silver has anything up there sleeve with any new bases. I wonder how this ATP law affects DEC captains with no previous 121 right seat time. Isn't that in HR5900 as well?

For the rest of us, multiple years prior 121.

I can think of another DEC captain that came here as a professional flight instructor (so I was told). Heard his FOs aren't exactly thrilled to fly with him. Cruz might be able to shed some light on that one.

I'm not thrilled about this character either, he has zero previous 121 time.
So we'll have to see how this changes things
