Southern Air Scheduale

[Bad-Andy]

Its more like an agreement.

Yep, a very one sided agreement. It could be summed up in a few short words:

"We, company (actually scheduling), hold you, the employee, in indentured servitude or slavery. You have no recourse. If you don't like it, quit."

Southern air schedule

So, is there any truth to the 15 on and 15 off schedule that I have come across by word of mouth. I am asking about the lowest seniority pilot there.

Thanks for any input

PM me and Ill send you a copy of their contract. Its worthless. Days off it states pretty much "to the best of the companies ability". Whoever negotiated it should be shot!!

I used to work with the chief pilot of SA at brand X. He is a back-stabbing tool. My buddy had an emergency and had to get home ASAP, the guy wanted copies of his personal emails between him and his wife. What a duche.

When you are stuck out on the raod for so long, are you in nice hotels or dumps? Do they give you 5 days in Hong Kong, or other places that may not be as interesting? Can someone give me an example of a 18 day trip?

Hotels can vary greatly. Some are nice like the Grand Stanford in HKG and others are sh*t holes like the Holiday Inn near DFW. It does not matter how nice or how crappy the hotels are, after 20-40 days it's all the same... Pretty crappy! But on another note, UPS, FEDEX, SWA, Delta, Continental and everyone else is hiring so why bother going to a non-sked.
