So Dulles will be the only base with overnights and all Florida bases will be mostly day trips from what I understand. I heard that there will only be a handful of overnights in Florida from now on. We will see what happens but it seems like none of managements plans have really panned out so far....

This will backfire, 1st, half the flight attendants will leave. 2nd, it will be a pay cut for all, and 3rd, they will lose at least 50% of their commuters. The end is near.

That is true. No more overnights, all day trips, cutting service to PBI and all gate agents lost their overtime pay and sick days.

The end is near, or major change, and as expected the employees and their families are the last to know.

I think silver will flounder around for at least another two years at least. It's amazing how long struggling places keep going. Look at Great Lakes and sun air. If I had to guess, silver is going to cut more and more benefits for passengers and employees and possibly routes over the next year. Hate to agree but I don't see any good future. No new planes, no new routes, and certainly no new benefits....

It's the employees that will keep it going. There will simply be those who live in Florida and like being home every night. I think the real end will come though once there will be nobody willing to sit in the right seat next to the senior guys. Unless they go to co-captains.

They're losing pilots to LCC's and cargo outfits. They're not bringing new people in at a rate to replace them. Company pilot count went from 235 a year ago to 185 now. It's not looking good.
