Southern Air gound school class may 14th

[V2plus25]

27 driver, that's the way to do ground school! Nothing like lots of beer to help solidify the memory items, profiles, limitations and such. My reasoning is if you can remember that stuff after a few beers then you've got it for sure.

And besides, what else is there to do for 2-3 months in a hotel? Watch TV? Study? Naaah!

I so agree. If you can't have fun you shouldn't be doing it.

I have been at Southern for a while now and never had anything like that happen. Every now and then you may have to deadhead after a trip and that sucks, but never been asked to do anything illegal. It really isn't a bad place to build time. It is not a career stop so build your time and have fun doing it.

What types of flying do you do on a 17 day sortie? Can you give me an example of the routes and layover times? I have always wondered about your type of flying. Thanks.

General, it all depends on what you bid. We usually do 2 or 3 day layovers in Incheon or Hong Kong, with shorter layovers stateside. There are quite a few 3 and 4 day stops in ANC. It just depends on what you bid. The schedule changes quite a bit though, it is not like a scheduled carrier. All routes go through ANC for fuel and crew swap.
ANC - LAX - ANC
ANC - RKSI
RKSI - ANC
ANC - HKG
HKG - RKSI - ANC
ANC - ATL
ATL - IAH - ANC
ANC - ORD - ANC
ANC - LAX - SFO - ANC
and some to South America for Lan Chile out of MIA.

Those routes just about cover it. We do get a few military charters here and there. Those can vary on destinations. Oh yeah, get me on at DAL please.
Thanks
