World Airways Hiring?

[Talon757]

Sounds to me like GAL, or whatever the outfit is called now, has kept the same playbook as when ATA existed. I'm with Seth. Unless you had need of their medical staff, which was top notch, ALPA was mostly useful to ensure 2% of your pay went to them. That and the 'mustaches of the month' magazine.

Wtf!

There are rumors floating around about the 3 DC10's going away mid-2010 and being replaced with MD11's, but just rumors at this point.

Replaced by MD-11s, really?! Where would World get these MD-11s?? There are no MD-11s to be had except maybe one from Finair!!

Plus the fact that the troop rotation and new deployment makes it necessary to keep aircraft and possibly add to the fleet.

Yes the troop rotation and new deployment is a fact. Necessary to add aircraft I would agree with. What does this have to do with World?? We can't operate what we have due to critical F/A staffing issues, and they refuse to hire because of the projected loss of 4 pax acft. Pilot recalls is only for cargo. Until we hear about F/A hiring that's when I'll believe things are picking up.

as well as the Sonair/Atlas thing not happening so World is keeping that as well.

Dude, put down the eggnog! This is blatant rumor spreading! Where did you get this bit of info??

Its actually worse then what's being written. According to management we are losing 4 planes by this time next year. The 3 remaining DC-10s

I'm curious what management told you this? the only offical word from mgt regarding the DC-10s I saw was from the COO Montford to the EXCO stating "The earliest any DC-10 would leave the fleet is in June 2010..." . Now I'm not saying the -10s are or aren't going away, in fact I believe they will, I'm just curious which management memo I might have missed that you read? thx

Are we talking about passenger or freighters?? I looked at what acft are avail, only 2 MD-11Fs, no pax birds. Plenty of 744s and even 3 777s. I was also surprised to see 767-300ERs avail too. I thought Delta had every single one ever made!! Just kidding...

It was VP of Ops (BY), told us in Nov while over Pacific.

I assume freighters since Boeing would love to see all MD-11's as cargo only birds, but the info from the rumor I've been hearing, only goes as far as A/C coming from Boeing without much more detail, but until it's leaking oil on the ramp, then it's only a rumor.

As far as the -10's thanks for the source, there's a lot of wild rumors floating around about them leaving, someone(non-pilot) even said that one of the three was already parked! But until they are no longer leaking oil on the ramp and I'm in -11 or 74 training then we'll know which rumor was right...
