Contract flying is NOT stable, Snoop. At least SouthernAir is a full-time gig flying B-747s on international routes. I have done both, and can tell you contract flying is'nt the way to go.

PM me, I'll fill you in more. I hear Southern has high turnover and lousy work rules, but quick upgrade and you could step over to Polar/Atlas eventually. Full-time beats part-time, short-term contract jobs anyday. They can always pull the carpet out from under you.
