Whoa broheim, calm yo bed!
Who said anything about preventing an FO from picking up open time or taking a junior assignment?
What happens when all available FOs are 30/7? They can the flight. I don't think CAs fly right seat to pick up open time above other FOs at other airlines (at least not my old airline), they do it when schist hits the fan...like we're gonna see here in 2-3 months.
Trust me, I'm a satisfied chocolate bear.

I'm glad we see eye to eye on this, however, CS has been known to DH a RSV pilot out of his/her base to fly an open trip in another base while having RSV's sitting on their behinds in that base. It happens all the time. I'm pretty sure, if push comes to shove CS will just fill that seat without regard, be it an FO or CA.
Frustrating...

I didn't even do a landing from the right seat during my last 441 ride.

Well, I suppose Silver is one up on Great Mistakes. But other than that, yeah very close! I've worked for several regional airlines in my illustrious career and Sliver of Hope is by far, hands down, the worst one I've ever worked for.

Exactly what I was about to type...
Coming from a mainly CFI background, and at TSA training for the E145, and now Silver for the SF340... TSA's ground training was more organized, and that's just funny to think about... However... That's about where the line stops...
This whole Silver is the "worst" airline thing is a very very opinionated answer. Some despise it, some love it, some are just along for the ride and don't think one way or the other (me specifically). Stay off the radar, do your job, speak when you're spoken to, and just be lucky you have a job to begin with...
