Southern Hiring

[Richard]

Want to mow mine while I work at that "scumbag place"? I pay $8/hr.

Sure!! At least I would be home at night and not sitting in a dirtbag hotel on my days off because the company was to cheap to buy me a ticket home.

We're mostly staying in 4-5 star hotels and you will be home for your days off weather you like it or not.

Daytona, it's really too bad you feel that way. We could use more people with your mad analytical skills here.

I mean, your power of deductive logic is incredible. By just reading that one post, you were able to ascertain that we stay in fleabag hotels while the company keeps us from home just because.

And you're spot on! I mean, check out some of these dives I've been forced to stay at!

I mean, total dives! But at least they all have gyms available. I'm sure you could appreciate that, keeping fit like that by jumping to conclusions like you do, you monster you! Maniac!

As far as the "not getting you home" bit, the only reason people get extended involuntarily these days, which to completely honest is a practice mostly discontinued, isn't because the company is too cheap to buy a ticket, it's because scheduling screwed up. Most (but not all) guys get home these days around 17 days.

And that does bring up one very good point; as messed up as this place is, I will give them credit where its due. If you have a family emergency, most of the time they will drop everything and get you a ticket home. Right away.

Too bad you'd rather be mowing lawns. We could really use high quality individuals like you here.

OR how about:

-24+ hour duty days

-having to fight for your pay the way the contract reads.

-Dead heading around the world in the back-middle seat on Air India or Ethiopian Airlines, etc, (just to name a few from the past 2 months.)

-siting in a hotel for 15 days in a row without flying one trip, just to have scheduling tell you that you have to work on your GDO because your the only one ( im in the top 20% of the pilots list)

-flying to (WAR Zones) Afghanistan etc. without any hazard pay.

-Geting to the destination after being up for over 30+ hrs and there never any transportation set up (Happened every trip last month, Except IN BKK. )

-Geting to the hotel and your Reservation has be canceled or Set up for the Wrong day, (Happened 4 time last month...)

-F**kup Flight plans... with misSING requirements, (every trip to many to list).

-Over nights in dangerous city in Africa with out secure transportation to or from the hotel.

- having to hold for 30 + min because dispatcher never filed over flight permits.

-flying airplanes without GPS, having countries ground, and impound your aircraft because you can't operate RNAV the way they want. DXB

-detained by CUSTOMS for hrs because the company can't set up VISA for crewmembers.


HEY BUT SOME PEOPLE REALLY LIKE THIS TYPE OF FLYING!

Dang.

You forgot "OKURA"(Japanes hotel) in Downtown Amsterdam. This dump has a $300, correct me if I'm wrong, coffee machine in the room.

I agree they will go out of their way to get you home for family emergency, no questions asked. That's a fact too.

Has anyone heard anything else after being asked to update? I updated a couple weeks ago and have heard nothing.

 

[gringo]

Have they announced who the CMI deal is with?

Still nothing official on the CMI deal, but we do have a 777 in the paint shop now getting DHL colors applied.

Gringo,

What's the deal with all of the recent pilot movement to the 777? Is it because of new incoming 777 airframes or due to pilots leaving the 777 (i.e., attrition)? Does the 777 pay better than the 747s? Is flying the Whale just unattractive vs. the 777 these days???? I still remember the days when everyone was dying to someday fly a Whale... I guess too many buttons, switches and knobs. :laugh:
