You'd literally make more than double that amount during your first year at a regional airline and get way more flight time and get a captain upgrade and start building that TPIC time and have flow to a legacy carrier.

Southern is about the worst career decision a pilot could make at this time. Their contract is from 2011. All of the regionals and practically every other airline have contracts that are reflective of the pilot shortage today but not Atlas/Southern.
