Default Basing and trip lengths

I did a phone screening over the last few days, I am curious what the process for base selection and bidding is. I hear that there is some flying going on out of DFW now, let’s say if I can’t hold a FL base and get sent there first, would the trips they fly there be commutable?

What are the junior bases?

What is the bidding system Silver uses?

What kind of flying / where are they flying out of DFW?

btw, on the phone screening the HR person told me the new FO first year pay was $42.86/hr. An improvement over what the pay rates show on their airline profile. Anyone have more info on the new pay scales? Was there a new contract signed recently?

Any info appreciated!

As of right now, all new hires will be training on the ATR -500 Based at FWA flying cargo.. Silver Airways specific ground and systems would be in FLL and Sims are Miami and Houston. The other bases, TPA and FLL are full at this time and for the next year or so i would suspect. The bidding system is Navblue and the new contrct went into effect recently so pay has increased and the reserve call out time has increased to two hours from 1.5.

Has anyone heard from Silver? I saw that they are flying cargo out of Dallas, can someone bring in some light on what is going on over there in terms of hiring or movement. I put in an app just about a month ago and not a peep. I have apps with a few others and even a CJO with OO, but still interested in Silver. Thanks
