REALLY...??
Entry Requirements
Travel to Cuba for tourist activities remains prohibited by statute. However, the Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has issued general licenses for 12 categories of travel. Individuals who meet the regulatory conditions of the general license they seek to travel under do not need to apply for an additional license from OFAC to travel to Cuba. The 12 categories of authorized travel to Cuba are: family visits; official business of the U.S. government, foreign governments, and certain intergovernmental organizations; journalistic activity; professional research and professional meetings; educational activities; religious activities; public performances, clinics, workshops, athletic and other competitions, and exhibitions; support for the Cuban people; humanitarian projects; activities of private foundations or research or educational institutes; exportation, importation, or transmission of information or informational materials; and certain authorized export transactions.

"JetBlue requires those booking a flight to Cuba online to tick a box that confirms that their travel falls into one of the categories of travel authorized by the United States."
That's also how the other major carriers do it. However, I believe Silver requires travelers to call in for Cuba reservations.made it so simple.

Since the closure of IAD new FOs have held FLL out of training. I don't know how many since it's only been a few weeks since my departure from the company and the official closure of IAD.
Last month you could go where you wanted to go.

Before you see jets at silver plan on seeing one more fleet of turboprops cough cough ATR's, you can probably get the base of your choice out of training, worst comes to worse you commute for 1 or 2 months then get your base of preference.

Jets and new fleets have been rumors at 3M since I first walked on property nearly 8 years ago. If you absolutely HAVE to be home-based in Florida, it's worth a look. If you can hold out for a few months or a year of commuting, Republic will get you to MIA eventually and you'll make more $ in the process. Commuting out of Florida can be a nightmare, very few open seats on direct flights what with all the vacation travelers. I left 3M nearly 3 years ago after a long train of abuses and usurpations, with a nice big check sent my way a year later thanks to the truly Herculean efforts of 3Ms excellent union reps. Those folks are busier than one-armed paperhangers keeping mgmt. honest in their dealings with pilots. I'd only recommend the place if you are totally unable or unwilling to commute or move out of Florida.
