Silver seem to be positioning themselves well for the US-Cuba market, very smart to get in on as many destinations as possible.

They both said they will easily make over 120k this year. Say what you want they are paying some big boy regional money at G7 to all flight crews regardless of FO or Captain.
Pretty sure picking up a trip without a 12 hour break from your last trip is illegal.

While I think this guys friends are idiots to work that much. And work for gojet, you can add turns on to your trip all you want. Picking up a turn at the end of your is done a lot. Just not by me. I like to have a life at home and not work.

Hmmm... your most junior base is a city in which your most junior pilots cannot afford to live....

you better check your regs knowledge. Adding to a trip does not require a rest period if added prior to last leg of last day.

"Full pay till the last day" was a frequent mantra that I used to hear at a prior airline. I believe that G7 will seize operations at the end of the summer. They don't seem to have any long term plans. The DO left for a place that is not a great place either. They took a navy non-pilot guy who became a pilot after leaving the navy to FO at TSA, then Capt/Check Airman at G7, then chief pilot, then DO. The last 2 steps in a few months. They don't want to pay a guy with experience who knows how to do things to be the DO or they couldn't get one.

People who are there will probably be in class at another regional in the fall. That's my best guess.
