Here is some good info if you are just looking for a stepping stone airline. Hell might as well be properly compensated and not have any chance of getting stuck on the 737 for three years or until the big boys call. https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/omni-air-to-set-new-high-for-first-officer-pay-unio-446511/

Don't waste your life here
Most of southern pilots are looking to leave this place. Because contract negotiations are not going anywhere, the last offer, was ridiculous, atless management doesn't care. And they continue this game for many years. If you are at the regionals stay there, upgrade and continue your career path. If you think coming here to get a 777 type rating is going to help you, go ahead. Sometimes flying a big plane doesn't help you to get a better job. It's greener in other places. Go to Omni or kalitta. They pay better than here.

Yes. A good comparison.
Southern
1st year FO - $61/hr = $44,652/year
Kalitta
1st year FO - $107/hr = $82,176/year
Southern
3rd year CA - $114/hr = $83,488/year
Kalitta
3rd year CA - $203/hr = $155,904/year
Really you could pick just about any airline you'd want to fly for, compare them, and the SIA pay scales would look this bad.

You guys need to be emailing your union leaders and asking them what they are doing about section 744 of this bill.
I’m emailing my union rep and I don’t even fly cargo. We are all in this industry together!
