Friends:

As our forum moves off the front page into death I wish to keep the communication alive.

As for the C360 side of the house. Our offers of employment with SAI have been further delayed for legal issues.

Lets keep talking.

What kind of legal issues if you can disclose? What is going on with the merger anyway? It has been real quiet.

You guys are right, it has been real quiet, this thing should be a din of activity. Cargo 360 guys/gals are being told that our conditional offers will go in the mail around the end of September and we will have about 3 weeks to accept/decline said offer of employment. If that holds up, the manning levels should be known by the end of October, could make for a fun halloween party in ANC

rumor, the letter will not be out until late this month, maybe. Neff and Oakhill have forgotten about a little thing called a SACG contract. Funny how they forget the details in all of the fuss to finish the deal.

I was just applying for a home loan and needed to calculate how much money I made at Southern Air. After my first (and only) 12 months which included training I made $35,500. If you include the 3 months that I was gone for training I was home an average of 8 days a month. After 12 months 7 of the 21 pilots in my new hire class remained, most had upgraded.

3 months for training? that seems a tad long. It's not rocket science

I assume that the 35.5k was gross, no pun intended, ouch I would hope that year 2 would be much better ($) for those guys that stayed on. Do you think that your experience was typical?

If I understand correctly, 14 out of 21 are no longer employed at SAI ( = quit or were terminated) and of the 7 that remain, most are now CAPTs. Or did they start as a SOs and are now FOs? Either way, that is a lot of turnover, tough to make money doing that much training, unless you are in the training bid-ness....

Thumbs up I'll be sober until the bartender returns with my next drink!

Southern tried to slow down the training machine by applying a training contract and bond. My new-hire class was the first to get the corrective action! The upgrades mentioned were the Right to Left variety. The need for the upgrades was not attrition, but growth. We are now at ten airframes vs half that number a little over 18 months ago.

Southern hires PFEs and requires the A&P. There has been one FE-FO transition. That individual had to meet ATP certification minimums to be evaluated for the program. Good for him!

Anchorage weather for today: Cool and wet
