Southern Hiring

[Freedom]

Try 30 on never get to go home right now....

Maybe I'm missing something but on a 20 on, 10 off schedule, that means they are keeping you out on the road for 50 Days.

Again, the word "No" comes to mind.

If NOT wanting to take it up the ass makes me a 10%er, so be it.

 

[swordfish]

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

One can only hope?

Any word on getting CASS?? Why doesn't Southern participate? Also, any updates on negotiations?

No, company won't spend the money

 

[swordfish]

No, company won't spend the money

plus were in section 6 and company's not going to give anything to the pilots.

Anyone know how long the emergency training in Mia is? And what it consists of?? Are you given any days off while in training? Thanks.

 

[Atccfi]

No, company won't spend the money

Thanks sword! How much could this possibly cost? How about just reciprocal jumpseat agreements? Any talk of this? Really hate to lose travel Benes all together!

i have been told it less then 2000 month, we don't have cockpits doors so it would be hard to get reciprocal jumpseat agreements.

Interesting... no doors huh? how do you think Atlas and the other ACMI co's get away with it? I figure they would have no doors either, right? Thanks.

I thought you were asking if SA had any reciprocal jumpseat agreements Without CASS. as soon SA get CASS, we could have Jumpseaters. sorry

So from reading and doing some research, I am trying to figure out how many southern has hired this fall...
August - ?
Sept 19th - 6
October 3rd- 25
Future classes
October 24th - ?
November 14th - ?

These are just the classes I've heard of or seen around. Seems like classes every 2-3 weeks. They said they wanted 400 total by the end of 2012, right? So basically about 100 to go. Anyone have some more info to chime in? Thanks!

Just so you know, the Nov. 21st class has been moved to Dec. 6th. No idea of the numbers. Glad to be there.

Didn't know about the November 21 class. Probably makes sense with thanksgiving that week....

In September I was told that there gonna be two more classes of 16 on Classic by the end of the year. We are pretty short. At the same time they ran all recurrents early and there wont be any more trough the rest of the year. May be they cleared room for new hires.

 

[Atccfi]

Any one know how many were in the class that started today?

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.

I also made more money flying my 37 seat jet than any of your captains ever did flying an A-320. Skybus and Gojets are on the same page of the airline history books.

I highly doubt it... we made industry average for 1st year CA... between 90 and 100K on a 90 hour credit... we hardly worked more than 75 to get that credit. Moreover, we were 4 on 4 off and home every night. Reserve guarantee was 60K/yr but nobody sat reserve the entire time the airline operated.

Add to this profit share (which granted never happened) made our pay, while low, worth the risk.

What kind of 37 seat jet did you fly and where, and AFTER HOW MANY YEARS seniority that you made 90-100K?

Anyone know why the slow down in hiring? And the whole recent change in training class from the classic to the -400??
