I've heard they work 21+ days a month. That's way too long to be out.

30 hour duty day????????????????????

 

[Junkflyer]

Welcome to the wonderful world of long-haul freight!

There is no duty day limit for FAR 121 supplemental international operations. (Southern takes advantage of this even on domestic legs by using an international flight number). Therefore due to weather and mechanical problems you will be on duty in excess of 24 sometimes 30 hours.

Where do I sign up?

I saw somewhere that ATI is hiring. Not 74's, but good looking 8's, 60 and 70 series. The pay looks pretty good if airlinepilotpay is correct.

Dumb question, but what's the crew size to make this happen? We do 26 hour duty days in the C-17 with only 3 pilots (and only one is AC or "Captain" qualified).

 

[Junkflyer]

Thats for a 3 place aircraft: Ca, Fo,Fe. The limit is 12 hours flying time in 24, but no duty limit.

 

[Godvek]

just bust a 10 hour Part 91 Tail End Ferry to a long day and 30 hours seems reasonable.

Jeez, is he still around??? He's the reason I left the original. Too bad, thought it might be a good place. Good luck.

How long is training? Are there any plans for growth? Just curious...

 

[dakotaHC8]

Thanks for the info.

I have found out a little regarding the current interview process. It is a one day event that includes the face 2 face with Southern check pilots, followed by a sim check in a B737 sim (round dials).

good luck to anyone going to the interviews

 

[halfbank]

It has been difficult to find info on Southern Air. I got the same info the day before yesterday regarding the interview. See you all in Miami...
