Is there anyone from Southern who would care to comment on the QOL and company as a whole. I know I could use the search function but I am looking for up to date and fresh input.

Thanks!

hum... I know two pilots who left there in the last few months for another ACMI carrier..... that is all.

QOL = Meh.

I've had worse gigs. And I'm not really complaining. But we do the same job as Atlas and Connie, and are not as well treated, or compensated.

• Crewmembers will be required to work 20 consecutive days a month


2O days? Is that every month? I was told by a Connie pilot he only works about 15.

17 as per the contract.

To clarify, Kalitta is 17. It's my understanding from a friend at Southern that they're 20. Unless that's changed.

Biggie

10-11 GDOs (day off) per the contract. Until recently, SAI was keeping us out for the full 20. The company has said they will work on keeping us out for only 17 - I recently finished off at 16.

Having said that, should they find themselves short (due to new aircraft), my guess is they sill start keeping crew out 20+.

Ouch... correct me if I am wrong but am I reading the job listing correctly when it says an IRO only needs 1500TT? Any idea what would be competitive at this point? Thanks Biggie and Rob!

If they keep you out on the road for 20 days, do you usually break the 60 hours guarantee? Do brand new F.O get type on initial training? This is a perfect job for a single guy, how do the married crew members usually cope with being out on the road for 20 days? I'm really interested and exceed all the requirements, and will drop an application online in the upcoming days, can anybody say something about the recruitment process? Really appreciate any info. And one more thing, do you guys seat a lot in hotel on the road?
