Southern Air 737
I have an interview coming up with Southern Air for a 737 position. I have a few questions and I was wondering if someone would be able to answer them.
1. How many hours block does one fly a month? Can you break guarantee? 2. How long is a new hire expecting to sit reserve? |
I recently took a 737 FO on our JS from IAH to CVG.
After the exchange of pleasantries- the pilot said he was going on 17 days of night flying and had to JS back into CVG for more fun. No catering, no gateway, no hotels, no nothing. I would say the 737 for southern has to be the worst flying job in aviation. If a job is what you need. Go to eagle, or PSA get a flow through, and hey- you may even find the occasional FA to keep you warm. |

1. How many hours block does one fly a month? Can you break guarantee? Never ever! 2. How long is a new hire expecting to sit reserve? You will be on reserve and a line call it composite line good luck !but I quit that place and came back to fly my Regional and being based home.. you can beat that. Good Luck! |

About 35hrs in 18 days. No, you will never make over guarantee.
Recently, some 777 FOs have bid 737 Cpt. My opinion, they did so to the-hack their PIC recency block to more easily move on. Do yourself a favor, chose ANY other airline. |
Don’t do it.
The contract they work under is horrible. Way worse than the Atlas contract and it’s very bad. Just because Atlas & Polar are negotiating a contract doesn’t mean Southern will get one too. Apply elsewhere. You will not be happy. Did you even read their profile? It says in black & white you will not break guarantee. You have to have a crash pad.

Thank you so much guys. I’m trying to get my total time up as fast as possible. 35 hrs a month won’t cut it, even if it is in a 737.

Yeah definitely go to a regional. Even at Atlas some guys are considering going back to a regional! With bonuses and quick upgrades you can almost make the same money...

If you want some 73 time consider one of the 121 supps: Miami Air, Swift, Xtra.

pretty sure the $$ is better than Southern for flying a 737. You will be gone just about as much, but at least it's not dead of the night flying
