Default Southern Air 737

Hello Guys, the last company thread is current closed.

I got an offer to fly the 737 for Southern Air...not sure what do to

2000 TT, 500 Turbine SIC, college degree, no skeletons in closet and no red flags (I hope so)

I'm at a whole owned forever on reserve commuting...what kind of gets old, however if everything works out I should have a spot on AA in 10 years lol.

I'm a little familiar to ACMI operations...and the lack of operations some times. I'm trying to evaluate my decision...also, they told me the 737 is CVG based...so should I suppose is not a commutable position?? Home based like the 777 would for sure be a huge advantage.

Also, not sure if the pay would be really a raise...is it possible to fly above guarantee? What about upgrade times?

Anyone could help me to make an educate decision?

I'm aware of the current Atlas situation and the lack of a contract...not sure if it's a good bet going there hopping for an improvement soon

Worst job in aviation. You would regret this. Find a better regional if you have to bust a move....

You’ll fit right in with the rest of the dummies who can’t do a simple search to find information on the Atlas/Southern dump. So, come on over. You’re guaranteed to regret it. No sympathy for you.

Ignore posters like him ^^^ please.
I know I’ll be nailed to a cross for saying this but if you have your ATP why not apply with Atlas?
New contract will be anywhere from 6 months to 2-3 years away and of the trend continues you’ll have 350-400 below you after the first year and 500-550 after the second year.
I would suggest the 74 over the 76 as the 74 seems to fly more above guarantee.

Yes, listen to this ^guy^! He’s 100% right. Come on over. A guaranteed job at a Legacy is overrated. Take the short cut. You’re the exception. You’re special!

No sympathy for you.

The fact I would need to share the cockpit with people like you are a good reason to not go there...

The reason I asked for more information is because I searched and want to make an educate decision
