Why such different opinions from same person?
"Plus you risk your career flying for a bottom feeder like Southern Airways Express. Equipment and maintenance has deteriorated, management threatens pilots. If you bend mental or do anything wrong Southern management will throw you under the bus in a NY second. Company has really gone down hill last few years. Friend there was told to falsify training records, of course he didn’t.
36 year senior 777 CA here who mentors pilots and provides career counseling. Do you really want to risk your career flying for this scum bag operation? Do you want explain incidents, accident, violations or being terminated on your regional, LCC and or Legacy interviews? Something to think about."
My opinion has changed significantly over time with regards to Southern. I have mentored pilots that worked there five years ago. Although at the time, you had to be really careful to make sure you got out of there without an incident, violation or an accident. It was a marginally “OK” place to get your experience and get out as soon as possible. Especially if you were a low time pilot and no CFI.
Fast forward to today, still have one pilot I’m friends with that works there, Southern has become a total
scum bag outfit from top to bottom. I no longer suggest that as a viable option to the pilots I mentor. Too high a risk of an incident, accident or totally unwarranted legal action against the pilot,
With regards to your question. So I’m not allowed to change my mind?
