Southern New Hires

[gear_yanker]

Just wondering what the experience breakdown is for the new guys at Southern. 135 props/jet, military???

Hard to believe there are many people out there willing to sign a training bond to work for an outfit like Southern.

No sir. What makes you think that? I'm going to World.

The class has already started, but I guess the guys in Miami are too ashamed to admit they signed the "training agreement".

 

[pilotbrain]

I was told that there wasent a training bond anymore, any truth to this?

 

[dutch747]

A class of 20 (Actually only 10 showed) for SAI is underway. Since half the class didn't show, I imagine there will be more recruiting underway. I heard two no-shows were because of the training bond. So yes, I think the bond is still in effect for now...

Training bond for a scumbag outfit like Southern? YGBSM.

Only 10 of 20 showed, huh? Was anybody that show-up sober?

I hear Mark Ryan is back in the Scheduling department. Any truth to that nasty rumor????

Hey, we are right next to those guys! You want me to spy on them?

Wasn't he the guy who would only let guys take vacation only on their days off a few years back?

If MR is there, you do not want to work there.

No way he's back. No way. Ever. You can't believe the bad blood.

Remember the old quote that went something like: "One man's garbage is another man's gold"? I guess that's the case here. Plenty of prop commuter kids willing to sell their soul to the devil to fly a jumbo.

I did hear that MR got fired at Kalitta, so maybe he is back at Southern. The guy is pure poison. Another reason to avoid Southern, if true.

I'm still sticking to the possibility that RS Consultants out of Atlanta will be taking over scheduling at Southern. If this happens, SAI Crews can count on fair impartial scheduling. Having worked with this team for almost a year now, I know RS Consultants are fair and impartial. But watch out, they don't bend one bit concerning company policy in scheduling.

Hey Dutch,

[dutch747]

Interviewed? Already have a class date next week. Need the gouge?

Shouldn't you be in another forum. If you hate SAI so much why are you frequenting the forum.
