Military Leave at SAT??
18Wheeler or anyone at SAT,
Do you or anyone have any insight into how Southern Air will handle military leave issues? It could be a way to smooth out the rough edges there. I have an interview coming up soon, and it is a key question for me. I am a little afraid to ask it in the interview for obvious reasons.
Thanks!

I'm not sure how the company feels about military leave. We do have an engineer on leave right now.
I understand that the checkairmen are doing some of the interviews. Maybe you could talk to one of them alone to get a better idea. The only one that I would not ask, and I am not sure if he is doing any interviews would be Rick Llanos.
Sorry I can't help more than that.
Good luck.

Life At Southern
Mr. 18 Wheeler I have a few questions as well:
1. Can your days off be given when your still on the road?
1.a. If Yes, does it ever happen?
2. How many days of duty do line holders work?
3. How many days of duty do reserve holders "normaly" work?
3.a. Is it always 20 days on the road or more like 15 road 5 home reserve?
4. Do you ever see home durring training?
5. Why no jumpseat agreements, when all the other ACMI guys have them?
6. How many hours of credit do you make the second year?
7. How many years will it take for new hires to hold a line?
7.a. Upgrade?
Thanks for the help, and your time.

IndyAirGuy, I answered most of questions in the reply to your private message.
4. You may see home between sim and IOE.
5. You will have to ask the powers that be why no jump seat agreements. I personally hate to jumpseat and if they did away with home basing I will quit.
6. I have no idea what you are asking.
7. When you complete training.
7a. Depends on your background. Total time. Time in large aircraft. Time at Southern. Recomendations.

Thanks 18Wheeler for the info. and for the PM. Southern sounds much better then my old regional company. I think it will be a good place for me.
Question #6 is: In your second year, how many hours a month on average should you expect to be paid for? 70? 75? or the basic 60?

It would probably depend upon how hard you want to work. If you can hold high time lines, even if it requires a back to back schedule, volunteer to work on days off when you can get them you could probably get 80 to 90 hours a month. High time FO last year flew 960 hrs. But he worked for it.
I base my budget on the monthly guarentee. And never count on per diem.
If I break guarentee or don't spend all of my per diem great.
