Former Army Guy still in the Reserves, and the only thing appealing about Southern is the schedule resembles a normal deployment schedule.
If you REALLY want to work for an airline like Southern, just go to Atlas (which has a much better contract than Southern). Atlas owns, and does the hiring for Atlas/Southern. Atlas classes are nowhere near full, so you can just request Atlas, vs Southern, after being hired out of the Atlas interview.
With current contracts, Spirit, Omni and Kalitta are better than Atlas (and, of course, Southern).
