Southern Air has not been a sign-up and get your free type rating kind of place like Atlas had been over the past few years. Failures and employee terminations for those struggling in training is common these days.
Thank you.
The thing for all perspective new hire pilots to remember at ANY airline is that you will be trained by your fellow pilots....not Management. The hiring wave may have gotten you in the door but the minimum standards to make it to the line have not changed.The goal of everyone at EVERY training department is to put well-trained, fully qualified, safe pilots in the seat. I can assure you that the Training Department at Southern does not feel any pressure to do otherwise.
