Can anyone at Southern verify that they are hiring? Learned through airlinepilotcentral.com that Southern is hiring. If so any info on that and tips would be very much appreciated.

I had heard that they are looking for 747 drivers with the new 777s added recently. If you have 747 time you should apply...
 
You should apply if you want to go to Afghanistan, and the darkside of Africa. Seniority mean nothing, you will go! And if you think you will ever see the B777 5-6 years to wait best case.

Just telling you how it is before you sign a 2 year contract!

But I did Hear they are Hiring 60 fo's soon. any Truth to this?
 
So just what is it really like.

That was too vague.

Time away?

etc?

Pay?

Training?

Time home? D

Do u start in FE seat or do these 200's have FE seat
 
You get 10 days off in a 30 day month, 11 in a 31 day month. Your days off will be all in one block, and you will be on the road your 20 days unless things are slow. It usually works out to first half or second half of the month off. Yes, you can be jr or flunk bidding or intentionally choose to be out 40 days.

Pay, first year FO/FE pay 59.42/hr, 60 hour guarantee. $2.50/hour per diem from the time you leave your base (home airport) till the time you get back to your base. I think you are on training pay until you complete your PC or your line check, not sure.

Training is all in MIA, Aeroservices with company instructors. Very systems oriented.

PFE's to the FE seat, so pilot types sit right seat from the start. FE's can upgrade, but I don't know the specifics

So yes, a lot of time on the road, and if you can roll with the punches the and want to see the world (the good, bad and ugly) then it can work for you. If you want to fly a 4 day trip with hub turns and have weekends off, forget it. Its not for everyone.
 
I'd like to just be able to have a home to go back to once in a while wherever it is with the money to pay the mortgage.
 
Hi!

My CEO would approve.

My recent schedule has been:
270 On/45 Off/46...and counting On/When am I off next?...no one knows.

How does reserve work? Do Jr. guys fly alot or sit?

There not really any Reserve. other then home Reserve, which everyone is on, in the transition of a new month. kind of nice because I usually only end up working 15-18 days a month on the road with 1-5 days of home Reserve.

Hey Swordfish,

Which cities do the 777s serve from Bangkok beyond Luxembourg? Do you have set routes yet? I like the paint job...

Yes, that's 1 of 2 B777F that we are flying, routes should be more defined by next month. Rumors are Bangkok to Europe Bkk to Australia. Hoping for some BKK to the USA. I will update as soon as as we Know. They have just informed us that we will be hiring 100-120 pilots in the next few months. mostly for newly added Asian 747 Routes.
 
777F
routes first airplane BKK-HKG-AMS-BKK 2 time a week. we should know more route information first part of next month
 
Hi!

My CEO (and my kids), would LOVE that schedule, as it is a dramatic improvement over my current schedule!!!

Who's wife/kids would ever ok 20 days on the road with only 10 off? It's like a mini-deployment schedule! Yikes.

It's not family friendly, but then again it I seem to have more time off than I did back at Brand X... With only 2 or 3 days off, and having to commute (on a jumpseat) on my days off, it always seemed like I was coming or going. The flip side to that though is that I flew in the same time zone with my old airline, and did not have to deal with jet lag.

Basically it is an adjustment, and 20 days out is mostly "do-able", but the thing you have to avoid is book-ending your schedules and staying out for 40 days in a row... Now THAT is family-unfriendly.
 
I can only think of 3 time in the last 4 years that i worked more then 18 days. My Avg is prob 16 days out a month!
 
Where do you apply at? I checked out the website and it says their are no open positions at this time. Just send a resume to the HR address listed on there?
