I Just talk to one of your sim instructers, he told me that SA just bought 8 more 200's any truth to this, or is he just trying to talk up the company so we well go over there... he also said that SA will be hiring 300 more pilot this year to staff the airline?????????

I bet they would like to expand to 8 more airplanes but I don't think there are 8 classics available on the market right now.

"That was just pillow talk baby!"

What movie was that?

I heard we were still looking at the ANA birds, and Atlas/Polar keeps offloading em too.

8 plus the 400's seems far fetched, but then again if you told me SAI would have grown that same amount in the last two years I would have thought the same thing.

A safe rule of thumb: the plane does not exist until you have been flying it for a month already.

At last count we believe 8 Captains, 6 or so FO's, and 17 FE's will be reporting to Southern. Good luck com padres.

Why would ANY of us, not going, change our minds. We all found "something better" (at least in our own minds!).

 

[pilotbrain]

very true.

what can brown do for u.

 

[dutch747]

I can't confirm that rumor as nothing is in writing. But talking to the Chief Pilot at C360, he thinks they may make it a condition if you change your mind and decide to go over to SAI.

For the 14 guys that are going to SAI when do you start ground school? Also did the company come through on a short coures for you guys.

 

[unwashed]

I don't think it is 14 anymore. I think a few have found other jobs. I have heard a Dec 3rd short course and then again I have heard there is no time line for the 400's. I guess a pissing match has ensued between Oakhill/Southern and GAP (Guggenheim aviation partners) and lawsuits flung. The issue at hand is performance shortfalls on the 400's.

 

[pilotbrain]

I thought that i would be at ups by now. I was told that i was out of the hiring pool and waiting for ground school two months ago. i just might be going over there if they don't call soon.

Suck!!

Due Diligence. SAI has no 743's. They are all 742's. What SAI does have are 2 747-200 SUD's amongst the mongrels. That's all.

Long time ago KLM sent a few -200's back to Boeing to convert them to the -300 upperdeck. Now a few of them are with SAI
