Since I’m bored and you brought up World, here are their numbers » they seem to have slower upgrade but pay seems to be higher. Also 2 more pay raises, 4% raise on March 1, 07 and 3 % March 1, 2008. Of course A-fund really helps too.

Could be worse. Could be Tradewinds where they hire you, then put you on furlough a month later.

Any info when Southern will star hiring again soon and what is needed to be competitive?

With regards to the scumbag ACMI operators, less FAA violations, less DUIs, and having been fired from fewer other companies that the other guys interviewing.

I believe Omni pay is far below the rest of the ACMI guys.

For anyone considering this type flying, keep in mind how many days that you will be "on the hook". Kalitta's current contract is 17 days a month. Not sure about Southern or World.

World is currently building open time lines with 12 known days off. You are on the hook for the rest. It is an improvement acquired in the last contract. If you cabn't stand 18+/- days on the road this is not the kind of flying for you.

If you have to jumpseat into work and back home, that will impact your number of days at home as well.
