For a class date of October 28 on 777, I have received very little to no communication with the company since I was hired day of interview on June. Is this normal ops for Southern?

No, just expecting the odd email here and there. Based on my current airline when I was employed I was getting constant e-mails.

Expect even less support in Bahrain on your 21 day trip. They’ve just begun to break you in.

Get ready for the absolute beat down.

OMG! I’m afraid to go back to work. Boeingdvr has me terrified of the abuse. Lol

Who does 21 day trips? How long have you been at Southern?

Boeingdvr is an Atlas 767 pilot. He has very little credibility commenting on life at Southern other than CBA issues which are now for all practical purposes, the same at both airlines.

I’m familiar, I just wanted to hear him say it.

Company owns you for 17 days.

Your commuting on day 0 = 18
Good chance of commuting on day 19 home.
Very very good chance you get extend 3 days per CBA = 22.

I under estimated a day.

Life on the whale and life on the 777 are very close these days.

But then again, if you don’t believe me, come see for yourself.
