Does any one here get that SAI is not purple or brown and not even the same business mdoel? Do you understand how contract carriers work? How a bid process works. Your comparing apples to grape fruits. jus my opinion.

SAI started an extra Day 6 CVG-YYC-MKE-CVG flight today. The MKE stop will eventually be dropped.

YUP! Only thing in common is they fly freight. That's about it. Is Mazda peers with Porsche or Ferrari? Both make and sell cars....

Any current SAI pilot care to comment on the 737 FO's first year pay? Are the schedules built at minimum guarantee (60 hours)?

Also, I'm getting a lot of conflicting info on the JS agreements SAI has. My understanding is that SAI has all the regionals + United mainline?

How many nights do you anticipate to spend in CVG per month (trying to figure out the cost of hotel)

Any other info that you think would be good to know?

Thanks

Our current jump seat list can be found at: http://www.southernair.com/supernumerary-travel

Reciprocal Agreements (CASS): ABX AIR, Inc., ATI, Centurion, APA, UPS, Atlas Air, Spirit Airlines, JetBlue, Frontier, Endeavor Air, Virgin America, Hawaiian Airlines, Mesa Airlines, US Airways, FEDEX, Ameriflight, Allegiant Air, Trans States Airlines, PSA, Air Wisconsin, GO Jet, Alaskan Airlines, Air Choice One, Horizon Air, United Airlines, USA Jet Airlines, Northern Air Cargo, Republic Airlines, Shuttle America, Skywest Airlines.

I'm not sure how we list for a regional when the flight is not marketed by United. For instance Shuttle America operates a DTW-CVG flight marketed as DL3350. Their jump seat page on ALPA's website says list at counter or gate. The counter or gate in DTW will be manned by DL agents using DL's CRS. When they pull up Southern, they will see that we have no j/s agreement with Delta, and I presume deny us.
