Did you know that Silver Airways operates cargo flights for Amazon Prime?
It is true, they do and the Florida based regional airline is currently recruiting First Officers and Direct Entry Captains for both cargo and passenger flights.
As part of its development and expansion plans Silver Airways will replace its Saab 340 operations in the Caribbean and continue to invest in more ATR aircraft - 10 more expected to arrive during 2022 and is looking to recruit up to 200 pilots.
Captain Charles Osborne commented, “Silver Airways is an amazing place to work. It has all the qualities for a bright future.”
As the North American launch customer of the newly redesigned and technologically advanced, customer-friendly ATR-600 series aircraft, Silver Airways offers passengers an unparalleled flying experience and reliability, and pilots enjoy the industry’s most advanced cockpit. The new ATR-600 series features the latest innovations in cockpit technology with simplified, integrated LCD advanced functions, enhancing safety and improved handling for pilots, as well as the latest in avionics technology. The state-of-the-art, all-glass cockpit further reduces flight crew workload and enhances situational awareness while providing better reliability, maintenance cost savings and weight reduction.
