I came on-line in Oct. of '06 for SA and have never been home more than 10 days in a month. They are very short FO's due to poor utilization and many leaving so they extend me almost every month. The extensions are fairly compensated ($$) but now I am home only 1 week out of the month average. The crews are great and the flying is very enjoyable but it has destroyed my home life. Home basing is nice, but your only there for 1 week. IF YOU ARE ANY THING BUT SINGLE I DONT RECOMMEND SOUTHERN AIR. I was out 32 days in a row (not by choice) and spent 12 straight in a hotel in Seoul. Dont even think about SA if you have kids. The guys who are happiest here are the ones with girlfriends all over the world. If your single you'll love it.
