When do the 400s arrive? Are they still planning on 400s and a few more 777s?

Also, is it likely that newhires will start on the 747-200/300 vs. the 777?

Dunno the answer to your second question, but currently as it stands we're expecting 777 #'s 3&4 next year, in addition to the CMI contract with crews already in training.

The first two -400's are expected within the next 6 months. We were told this same thing exactly a year ago, only to see those two vanish, but this time it looks a bit more promising. I'll truly believe it when I see them painted in our colors and marked "AOG", but so far fairly promising...
 
Have they announced who the CMI deal is with?

No, not yet.

Also, from an internal company email, looks like you have to apply online.

I am pleased to announce that we have posted the Pilot positions on our career website at www.southernair.com/careers.**********

I just Had a Line check by RC ( RC in upper management) and he told us that SA has NOT bought any 400's- We can only hope they will come sometime soon.

Could also be that we'll start off providing CMI services, possibly with the existing Malaysian 400's. I've heard that scenario played out a few times as well. Regardless, looks like the company is still moving forward with their 400 plans, whether or not we actually own any N numbers yet...

Here's the updated link to the hiring website. My iPhone cut'n'paste goofed up the previous link posted...

This is a bit interesting. They interviewed and hired several of us into a pool last October. I have not heard anything from them yet.
