Southern Hiring

[Microclimates]

Hey there,

I know Southern pilots aren't in CASS (yet), but do you have jumpseat agreements with anyone (meaning- must be in the cabin)?

thanks.

I also wanted to say that we, like Southern, are flying our asses off. Two more 400s (The last ones built I have been told) are coming soon. They are true freighters and have the small attic. One of them supposedly has about 30 hours on it. We also bought another classic from what I hear. All I do are DHL flights any more. Our DHL flying has increased quite a bit. The Classics are also going like gang busters. They do most of the adhoc stuff. Our 400s spend more time in the air than on the ground. They rarely sit for more than 3-4 hours between flights. Times are good so far. It doesn't appear that the world economy has put a damper on the freight business. I hope it stays that way.

wow, not sure if you know this, this is a Southern tread, go blow your horn under your own tread......

well good then maybe you'll tell all them guys at Southern to get off their arse and get a freaking union contract and some real wages going there soon before you drive CK and 5Y out of business with your lower operating costs..

We had profit sharing, good work rules and an IBT 87% vote. Not bad for 1 year operating. How long has Southern been running again?

Moreover SX was not in direct competition with anyone as all of our routes were new and unique. Out market segment was people who would otherwise not fly. Southern however is in direct competition with Kalitta, Atlas, World and Evergreen.

Is Southern not represented by IBT now and in contract negociations? Do not get your irritation with the Southern pilot group...

Is Southern not represented by IBT (they are) now and in contract negotiations (and they are in Section 6)? Do not get your irritation with the Southern pilot group...

I hope that helps

Interview Sept 15. Nov 14th class. PM me if you want details.

AirlinePilotCentral still states 20 days away and 10 days at home every month at Southern. Is that still true? Can you break-up those 20 days or do they come all at once? I realize people can be extended for a lot longer.

[Freedom]

You gotta be kidding me....

How can someone with Command Authority on a Jet, a Transport Category one at that, not know how to use the word, "No."

Its been said before. Pilots truly are their own worst enemies.

Go the hell home, and tell them you hope you have a job to come back to when your days off are over.

There is no one to blame for this kind of abuse than the one you look at in the mirror in the morning. You are permitting them to do this to you, no one is FORCING you to do anything.

 

[tubineotter]

freedom, what a 10%er!

sword they sent me home 2 days early maybe since they have a new head of the sked depo this will get better

Yeah, that's a bit rough. FYI - other airlines are hiring. Apply to Fedex please. Even Emirates and living in Dubai would be better than 30 days on.
