Cargo 360 just bought Southern Air

[C-141/C-5]

Agreed, I just was making the point that things are going to hopefully change

 

[unwashed]

Most of us at 360 are 8 on 8 off or 10 on 10 to 12 off. Believe us our schedulers will do you justice, besides it can be as bad as what you have. First the trips will become more efficient and second your life will improve, contractors don't stay around long if they can't justify their existence.

By all means then BRING THEM ON. I would love to fly 90 hours in 14 days then go home. I am sure that most of us here would agree. That would definitely boost morale a bit.

 

[unwashed]

I did 80 in 16 (two eight day trips this includes travel days on day one and eight.) I have been home for ten until I go out again.

One month I was out for 21 days and logged 105 hours. Other than that most of my rotations are 8 days with 42 hours scheduled in that period.

Since SAI is getting our routes (Unless Korean says otherwise) it shouldn't be hard for lines to be built with similar hours. But I'm betting it will go senior. And all I will do is fly out of Miami with maybe 40 hours in 20 days.

I hear you. I also bid MIA. I am sick of RKSI.

What hotel are you guys using in Miami? I hope not the slummy Homestead.

Unfortunately my friend it is the Homestead or the Sleep Inn next door. Neither is very nice.

 

[dutch747]

With my previous company we talked scheduling into letting us stay at the Sherry Frontenac which is out there on the north end of South Beach. Great hotel, what a party that was.

 

[27 driver]

I would love to get out of this S@#$ hole. It seems that ops is not real receptive to our pilot groups suggestions.

 

[ironspud]

:crying: I suppose you will then also expect limo service from the hotel to Aero...

 

[27 driver]

No, I just want a hotel that is clean. One that your feet don't turn black from walking on the carpet. One that the air conditioner will cool the room below 78 degrees. One that the tub doesn't back up when you take a shower. I am not the minority. I have not spoke to anyone who likes the Homestead. To each its own I guess. :uzi:

Damn. I've stayed in the Homestead and it is a flea bitten sleezy hotel. WTF is your problem? Drinking the koolaid? Getting a kickback? Why the attack?

The secret to surviving Incheon is drinking soju. Lots of it, and not spending too much time in the Russian bar.

 

[Heavy Set]

What routes do you guys fly out of MIA?

 

[27 driver]

We don't have any hard routes. It changes at Lan Chiles' wim. We mostly go to Bogota, San Jose, Guatemala, Manaus, Guyaquil, Rio Negro, and Quito.

A couple weeks ago I saw one of your 743s in MIA. How many of those do you have, where do they usually go, and do you prefer it over the 742?

Bye Bye--General Lee

I think we have 3 or 4 743s. They go everywhere. Where ever the customer wants world wide. And yes I like the 743 a lot better. It has a much more roomy upper deck. Other then that the plane is identical to the 742.

I had heard that one of SAI's acft was EFIS equipped...T or F?

Do you still have the one with the carousel? Or is it finally upgraded?

All three C360's planes are Litton72RLS, ACARS, P&W R models.

I know all your acft are GE powered. Just to say something positive about those P&W's, the "R" model is powerful as all get up. Having flown the GE powered 742 & 743, I still prefer the GE over P&W R's, but damn those "R" models can gitty-up. Just got to memorize the aborted start chklst since they will and I mean will give you a hot start on occasion.

The biggest bonus with C360's acft is they were all built in 88. So you have relatively low time acft but more importantly, they are well kept so you will find them nice, tight acft to fly.

Dutch, to answer your question, we do have several aircraft with FMS, EHSI, and EADI. We have some with Litton 92, and I believe one with the old Delco INS. Not sure abot the Carousel question. I have been here a year and have not flown the entire fleet yet. We have no ACARS, but most have SAT phones. I have never flown the prats but have heard good and bad about them. Some love them, some hate them. Not sure why though. If you come to SAI I hope you like little orange stickers. It seems lately we have been carrying a few. I hope that changes.
