Dude, I'm just a college student flying a piper and it doesnt take me long to figure out that Southern Air is not a good choice. Even I know that you have to have a good management and support from the company to enjoy your work.
Your question seems wrong am I missing something? You are a retired AirForce guy and are looking at jobs at 2nd rate cargo airlines? Don't airlines beg for Airfoce guys now? Seems like you could do a whole lot better. Maybe cargo flying is your thing but there are so many options out there.
