Umm you have an ATP you can apply to any regional why would you want silver?

Looking for punishment.... At this point in the game 3M has stability issues, it could be any day, hopefully I'm wrong for those still there. I enjoyed the flying, the B1900 and Slaab are being missed, but for me the writing was on the wall.

I hear if Silver loses 10 more pilots, they will have to cease operations. Is this true?

I'm not sure if that's true or not. But if this "shortage" does materialize it will most likely be great lakes, silver, and commutair that fail first probably in that order.

They may have to cease ops in CLE, IAD and ATL, retreating to Florida only. But system-wise, the wheels keep turning. We haven't quite gotten down to Great Lakes levels of desperation...yet.

The real question I have is why does it seem like people need to beg for a job here? Shouldn't we be desperately calling for interviews/class dates? It's almost like FLL doesn't want anyone to show up.

Career fairs? If you've shown interest and have the required minimums and no DUIs/felonies/revocations shouldn't you get a call ASAP?

The hell is going on?
