I wish them well. They served Atlanta from ramp positions on the international tarmac. Used to watch them running up engines every morning when I got to work. They are still searching for their best markets. Nice little airline, though, operating Saabs and Beach 19's.

How's their on-time record? It would be tempting to use them to pick up some of those good deal transatlantic fares you see out of Orlando from time to time, but doing that on two different tickets makes me nervous about irregular operations.

I like Silver. Once you are in Orlando or FLL you can get to great small islands in the Bahamas.

I wish the airline all the best with this service but when you consider total travel time you may as well drive. Drive to the airport, go through security, and the hassle of airports. It's only a 6 hour drive to Orlando.

From Nov '14 to 1/15/15...not so impressive. On their 20 most active routes the lowest city pair was 56%,and the highest was only 83% on a short hop from West Palm to Tampa...

A lot of the cities they serve are funded by the DOT’s Essential Air Service program. In short, the govt pays them to fly to a city regardless of passengers to a degree. Many of their cities are culled from big carrier cast offs due to lack of revenue.
