A friend of mine was on the 73 at Southern. He would agree with this statement.

Why do you HAVE to be on a 73, aka guppy, aka brand new record player Boeing?

No need to actually pay your pilots (or treat them well) when you just surf the internet posting complete lies and propaganda. Nice first post you management troll.

Dear Experienced Fellow Pilots

Which of these B-737 operators are a good start in 121 world :

1) Southern Air
2) Swift Air
3) Sun Country

Thank y’all
I’m assuming the goal is southwest, and that’s why you want 737 experience?

I think Sun Country would give you the most flight time and fastest movement. They have plans to grow through 2022. I think Swift could be interesting and they offer a signing bonus to offset year one pay.

I have also heard that life at Southern 737 is pretty miserable.

Miami Air also flies 737 if you’re down that way.

Whatever you’re considering take Swift out of the equation.

Miami air isn't a bad option if you're lower time. All new 800s. My friends that are there say it's a good operation. Small but making money and you have a union to watch your back unlike swift. Southern, bad option, Sunny, ok. NAC ok.

Their 800s date back to 1999... not exactly new. Not an airline for rapid time building.

Newer than swifts, newer than southerns... that's all I was getting at! But the NG is a much better plane than the classic. I would suggest a NG operator
