Watch this video to fly onboard Silver Airways’ Inaugural Flight from Greensboro, North Carolina to Nashville, Tennessee.
Silver is a regional airline operating ATR-72 Turboprops from Florida, the Caribbean, and the Southeast United States.
I was over-the-moon excited to grab a ticket for this service. I was even the first passenger to ever check-in with Silver Airways!
There’s not a lot of services or features onboard, but we’ll still explore them all.
We’ll even give the experience a JebScore! We modified the Lounge score to better reflect an Economy Experience by focusing on the Ground Experience with things like boarding, communication, etc.
Unfortunately, Suzanne couldn’t join me on this trip, but she’ll be back soon!!

I appreciate the fact that you declined to have them compensate you for making this video because people would feel the need to lie. As always great job.

@ChrisHockman 10 месяцев назад

And mentioned it. A lot of people just wouldn’t have. That’s why I appreciate this channel

@GeeBee212 9 месяцев назад

I appreciate it too but since the airline knows who he is and knows his influence, he is more likely to receive their very best customer service experience.

@cgreen186 9 месяцев назад

I also appreciate that he turned it down. You do such a great job and are one of the honest straight forward persons.

I like the idea of smaller regional airports I live near a small regional airport, and it makes flying to bigger cities much easier without the hustle and bustle of an international airport

@canislupus3849 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for doing more of these "smaller flight" videos! I know you had mentioned in the past that they aren't as popular as your first class ones, but for those of us who travel domestic and a bit more on the cheap...it's nice to see what they're like. Enjoy the next ones.

@dom12011 10 месяцев назад

That’s cool to see that silver is expanding. Growing up in Florida. I would definitely remember them going from Fort Lauderdale to the Bahamas and Jacksonville and Orlando as well.

I used to fly the B1900 and Saab about 10 years ago for silver. Very unique operation for sure. Glad to see they’re still going, I know Covid hit them hard and hopefully they’re getting their business in order as they’ve had a bumpy ride. It was some of the funnest flying I did in my airline career, definitely exceptional!

Worked with Silver Airways at Greenville (GSP). Mainly the ATR 42-600, although once in awhile the 72 would come. Loved it! For how small they are, they are so loud but easy to work with.

@htoddgriffin4787 9 месяцев назад

I grew up in Greensboro and had to move to Raleigh in '95 to be closer to an airport because I travelled for work. PTI is a great airport and I did my flight training there in the early '80's. GBO should have been equal to Charlotte but they waited way too long to build the new terminal and they lost a lot of time/traffic to Raleigh and Charlotte. Mostly I miss Piedmont Airlines. It was always nice getting on a flight after being in NYC or Boston for a week and having the flight attendants sound like home.

@dznutz217 9 месяцев назад

When I saw your video, I was really happy because I live in Orlando and it is a great no-thrills airline to go to the Bahamas and the Keys. With their great prices, I can make quick trips up to Greensboro and then drive to Charlotte to see my daughter. She used to live in Burlington and that would have been amazing! Hope they add Charlotte as a stop. Most importantly, Thank You for all of the awesome and informal videos you share with us!!!!

@kevindavis900 10 месяцев назад

I have work in Winston next week and almost took Silver from PTI to Orlando for a weekend trip. The price was fair, but as a Charlottean, it was a better deal to take Allegiant out of Concord round-trips to Orlando-Sanford. (Which I prefer since my grandparents lived in Sanford and I have fond memories of going to an airport board meeting many years before they added commercial service to the former military base.). As a veteran of old Dash-8 flights between Gainesville, Fla. and CLT/ATL I miss the turboprop experience with the fast loading planes and lower altitudes. I’ve never been a big fan of PTI what with having the clean, modern, non-stop convenience of RDU on one side, and the American Airlines monopoly hub at CLT that at least gets you almost anywhere on the planet with zero to one stops. But good for you, Jeb, for repping your hometown airport. The growth of parcel services, HondaJet and hopefully Boom there are really good for NC’s economy.

Deregulation killed most of the true regional airlines like Mohawk and Piedmont. You could fly Piedmont from Wilmington to Asheville in a few hours with stops in Fayetteville and Charlotte. It’s nice to see regional flight service returning to the SE.

@GrumpyForester 10 месяцев назад

I live in Central Oregon where our small regional airport (RDM) generally serves as our gateway to bigger places to get on bigger airplanes; most of the airlines fly Embraer E-175's or CRJ's (although Alaska has started flying 737's on a few flights). My favorite trips have always been on the Alaska/Horizon De Havilland Canada Q400 Dash turboprops. Sadly, they have been replaced with E-175's - which are, to be sure, fine regional jets (especially compared to the CRJ's) - but I really miss the pocket-rocket race car feel of take-offs and landings in the old Dash 8. Yes, they were a bit noisy, and, no, there was limited cabin service and no in-flight entertainment, but I have always traveled with my tablet loaded with movies, TV shows, and e-books, so that never seemed like a problem...Thanks for taking us along!!!

We flew Silver Airways from Tampa to Key West about five years ago. It was an older, smaller plane than this one, with a one-two configuration, and it was cramped! Our pilot, dressed in shorts, loud shirt, shades and long, blond hair, looked like he'd be more comfortable at a beach bar somewhere. Never again!

Flew silver many times from MIA to EYW (key west) many times before AA started using the CRJ. In fact at one time I was able to fly UA to KW on a NON STOP from EWR. The ATR was a bit more bouncy than the CRJ and was 15 minutes longer, BUT when you are flying to KW for vacation it is ALL GOOD.
