It depends where you are in the system. My broski, Saluki, sat reserve from the day he was hired, which was a few classes ahead of mine, whereas I flew more hours than anyone in the Company in 2013. However, I've been sitting reserve since November and flown something like 200 hours. It's feast for some, famine for others.

But GearOperator's sentiment is spot on, the Company is shrinking, flying is being reduced, and the overall number of block hours available to the pilot group is being reduced as the Company's inability to staff it's airline is becoming more and more apparent every day. That and the operational control here is laughable at times.

This is just a bid? Have they re-won this flying, or is there still a chance they'll lose it?

If Sliver has their hands in it, I'm sure they'll screw it up!!. With the rate they're losing people, they'll be lucky to staff the Florida operation.

Anyone hear about us loosing our Delta JS privilege? When trying to list on a Delta JS it blocks us in the computer now and say "carrier not authorized". Anyone else have this problem today?

What kind of travel benefits do Silver pilots and their immediate family members receive? Do family members fly for free only on Silver flights?

Yes of course. As soon as you have the 1500 hours and ATP they will hire you, probably on the spot.
