Southern airways

I had a phone interview with Julie a couple of days ago. It's very casual, non technical mostly background and credential information. They are hiring for the Pennsylvania bases at this time. Training is two weeks in Pompano Beach and one week in Wichita for sim training, then IOE in base. I'm in the Sept 24 class with two other captains and two first officers as I understand it. There is a $8000., one year training contract which is pretty much industry standard. Captains are $50000. salary plus per deim and 65 hr/month guarantee. I'm hoping to parlay this opportunity into a paid ATP rating and BNA base by year two, maybe even a IOE captain. I'm really looking forward to interacting with the customers and giving the low time first officers a hand up in their career.

I can't imagine anyone working there who hasn't had an interview with them.

I heard a recent rumor a guy applied on airlineapps to all the regionals that participate and one called back and pretty much offered the job on the spot in the phone call, no interview. When it comes to the lower rung airlines (like Southern no offense, and I like 'em simply because they do the PIT EAS flying), then I wouldn't be surprised if this kinda thing might happen.

I have 1926 hrs, 302 in a Caravan 135 ops but I have been absent from aviation for 8 yrs. I do have 50 hrs in a 172 in the last 90 days for currency. I subscribed to climbto350 and sent out around 25 resumes in three days, I received exactly one phone call the following Monday. I did get a call from a on demand charter op for a Cessna 414 later in the week but they needed a "ready" captain in the 3 or 4 series Cessna for consideration.
I interviewed with and received a job offer from a 121 airline about eight weeks ago but I determined it probably wouldn't be a good fit for me because of QOL issues. As the old saying goes, "it's not getting what you want but wanting what you get".
