MD11Drvr said:Yes you can live most anywhere in the lower 48. You need an airport with 3 carriers. Then they buy your ticket to whereever a hotel on the other end to get 12+ hours crew rest before your trip. That is the condensed version.
As an open flyer you only know 2 to 3 dyas out. Some of the time they will have your entire trip built but more than likely you go out for a 4 day trip and it becomes a 16 day trip. You never leave the house lightly packed or you may be flippin drawers inside out to stretch laundry. With the new contract one of the big improvements was you now know your 12 days off in advance and unless you voluteer up to 6 of the 12 you will always have 12 off and you will know about them by the end of the previous month.
The airplanes are fine the Maint. is reasonably good, especially our mechs in europe. The airplanes are flying a lot of the day is the big problem. The crews are great overall and the lifestyle is great or you will hate it. We have had a few guys go back to thier legacy carrrier recently and I think some of it may have been the sched. It not for everyone.
If you don't mind being out of the house 2 weeks on 2 weeks off give or take and you like to try international adult beverages then this job may be for you. The trng is tough as there is no train to profeciancy so be prepared to study hard because they put 1 out of about 7 or 8 on the sidewalk. Things have gotten better with the interview and training so maybe its some better but still if coasting through training is your style I would not suggest World Airways.
Hope some of this helps...........Good Luck
