A Pilot assists the Captain in operating the aircraft and providing service to the passengers. When the Captain delegates some of his/her duties, or if he/she becomes incapacitated, a Pilot must be prepared to assume the Captain's duties. Because a Pilot is considered to be in training for upgrading to Captain status, he/she is expected to take advantage of the Captain's experience, instructions, and advice.

Must model the "Southern Style" behaviors of unquestionable trust, superior performance, and total commitment

 
Lear 45's and a few Sikorsky's, I believe.
 
I can't speak for the organization now, but a few years back we had an interesting experience with the Southern Co. flight department. G-IV serial number 1229 had been built for Entergy Co. When they shed their CEO and underwent a reorganization, the aircraft was sold to Southern Company. After about a year, Southern Co. experienced a downturn and had to sell it as well. TransExec was to purchase the G-IV, but it had to go through a pre-buy inspection performed by Gulfstream Aerospace before this could happen.

Another test pilot and I flew out from Savannah to perform the Technical Evaluation on the jet. The Southern Co. chief pilot, who by that time had about 300 hours total in Gulfstreams, questioned our qualifications to fly his aircraft. In that, between us, we had North of 12,000 hours in G-IVs and were both FAA certified Test Pilots qualified to issue Certificates of Airworthiness for the G-IV, we were somewhat surprised. We finally resolved the issue and performed the test flight, but the whole episode indicated a level of arrogance that we had not experienced in other flight departments.

On the other hand, David Bilson from TransExec was a real gentleman and a pleasure to work with.

I don't know much about anything but I seem to remember hearing typical 5 day work weeks and short pay. I believe they spend most of their time zig zagging all over the southland as sort of corporate housekeeping shuttles. Out in the AM home in the PM.

I could be wrong.
