Default Southern 737 (PrimeAir)

Hi guys, I will have an interview with SOO for the 737 in few weeks, I am wondering if anybody is in SOO and what you tell me about the company. I know the CBA is one of the worst of industry, but I want try to avoid the regionals,

How many hour you can fly as F/o in the 737?
When can we get an upgrade?

Come on man... I’ll make it real easy. 17-20 day trips. 10-24 hour layovers. 30-50 hours per month.

No growth, no upgrade. Min pay of 62 hours, no CBA on the horizon, lotta night flying.

last new hire class had 1 person in it.

the old saying in rounders “ if you can’t spot the sucker, you’re it”

We carry the world. LOLOL

Why do you want to avoid the regionals? You’ll make more money and upgrade sooner at a regional. You will also fly more and have a much better schedule at a regional. We have 747 pilots leaving Atlas for the regionals right now. You will also have much more job security at any regional. At the current trajectory I believe that Atlas/Southern will probably furlough in the near future. I personally don’t feel comfortable with my position 500ish up the Atlas seniority list. Please do your due diligence before accepting a job at Southern/Atlas.

50...


new hires are the RJ’s are making nearly 100k. And they get super chill young FA’s that are eager. Ah- I miss those days...

Yes, why are you trying to avoid the regionals? They aren’t that bad in comparison to Southern Air.....

Regionals suck if you have to commute.

So does Southern Air.... I'd love to see a 4 on 3 off schedule where they're Gatewaying you into position on their terms on your 0 and 5 day. I'd love to see that schedule from Portland.... That sounds about as miserable as any commute I could imagine and the taxes on that would be terrible.
