Not quite certain that Cargo 360 pilots were completely screwed in the deal.

Consider:

1. 10K signing bonus (or 4 months (probably more) termination bonus pay)
2. Higher 2nd year pay scale than Southern Pilots (eg: $110 Capt/67.5 FO)
3. 3 to 1 on stock purchase
4. Relief from the Cargo 360 2-year training bond and no SAH carryover bond
5. 401K that didn't previously exsist at C360
6. Same basic medical plan
7. 1/2 DH on commercial travel to and from work (none exsistent at C360)
8. 3.5 hour daily rig for days on the road (no rig exsists at C360 until after 20 days)
9. An actual pilot working contract (which obviously needs work)

Frankly the only screwing will be in DOH integration. That has less to do with Oak Hill and everything to do with the SAGC negotiations. If they go by strict DOH, obviously none of the senior C360 Captains will be senior enough to set foot in a 747-400.

And, therefore, none will come over to SA. I suspect the "delay" that has occured in sending out offers of employment centers around the sticky issue of pilot seniority integration.

Finally... does QOL suck at SA? You bet! Could that change for the better? Well it will have to if they want to retain their own people, let alone attract C360 pilots.

Remains to be seen I guess. Its called "leadership". Lets see if they have any over there at SA.
