Silver Airways (Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood and Gainesville) has issued this statement to encourage the recruitment of more pilots:
As Silverย Airways continues to proactively pursue innovative initiatives toย attract and retain quality pilots, the next generation regional airline hasย announced it has increased its new hire signing bonus to $12,000.ย This doubles Silver’s previous signing bonus and is the highest pilotย bonus in the regional airline industry.
Silver began its pilot bonus program in November 2013, providingย qualified new first officers with a $6,000 signing bonus, half of which
is paid upon completion of initial training and the other half after aย pilot’s first year of service. This week, Silver doubled that bonus and
is now offering an additional $6,000 to be paid upon completion of twoย years of service.
This latest announcement is one of many proactive efforts underway atย Silver to attract and retain quality pilots and other team members. Onย March 17, 2014, the airline signed a preferential hiring agreement withย Broward College, which when added to its other aviation partnerships,ย will further assist the airline with finding top caliber new pilots. Inย addition, the airline is also investigating tuition assistance andย scholarship programs with these and other certified aviation collegesย and universities.
