I'm pretty shocked really. I take it no one, NO ONE, is showing up to class for this. If I were offered a job and they told me that was the pay I think I'd have a good laugh and then say, no really whats the pay? Edited because I also want to add, you gentlemen/Ladies deserve much better. Best of luck.
I believe the original agreement between Southern and DHL was for 28 737s. Southern could only get 5 in the air, because of their low pilot pay for the 737s. Southern's new contract pay is roughly the same, and they are having great difficulty in getting pilots to fly this platform, with the current contract. Atlas is not even filling 747 classes, not to mention 777/767/737...
