World Guys/Gals how do you like it?

[boknowsASA]

How do you like the flying? Are the trips bad/good? Is it true you can live anywhere in the lower 48 and World will fly you to where ever the plane is. So if I want to live in Denver and my flight is leaving out of Houston they would buy me a ticket or make me jumpseat? Im a single male with no kids. With ASA heading south fast I'm looking for a new home.

So if you could do it all over would you go to World again?

whats up with 747's?

Thanks

Have you tried doing a search under World? You'll find all the answers to your questions and more. Here are some quick answers. I love the flying, although some nights across the oceans can be long. The trips are good and bad, it's all relative. A trip that I think is horrible, guys are biding every month. YES, you can live anywhere! They will buy you a ticket from the lower 48 to where the plane is. No, they can't make you jumpseat. Would I fly for World again, yes!! Some guys are looking elsewhere, primarily for the $$, but I'm not. As far as the 747s, the company still says they're coming. Guys are starting training early next year.

Your single, I can think of no better place for you, except maybe Southwest, but then again at Southwest, she may be a knockout but you've got to get up at 04:30, so no beers for you! :beer:

You are an idiot. FedEx and UPS both are infinately better than World.

 

[CCDiscoB]

Nevermind BoknowsASA, apparently you shouldn't even be thinking about World, it either FedEx, UPS or nothing!

Hey A$$face, all I was saying was a single guy might enjoy going out with a crew of 12 than a crew of 3. Last I looked Southwest's crews are greater than 3 also. Duh, I wonder what I mean.

You're quite a charmer aren't you? Do you talk to your dog like that?

 

[fxbat]

Trust me if World offered me a job I would be all over it like a fat kid on a Popsicle. Un fortune they haven’t.
80 for 80 (what a stupid idea) you are a disgrace to the X Eagle family

 

[boknowsASA]

Whats the hiring outlook at World? They have removed pilot hiring from the webpage.

I am betting you are one of those Captains the FO's look forward to walking away from in the terminal.

 

[brady]

I can't believe I paid 10 bucks to hear this name calling. No wonder the industry is in shambles. I'm sure World is a great place to work.

You conveniently forgot to mention the "club" you need for BOTH UPS and Fedex ie. a sponsor. If you don't have that you ARE wasting you're time!!!:crying:

From someone who knows only too well!!!...........

There is no "club" here are UPS.

They've stopped hiring for now... starting a class of 4 DC-10 FO's in a few weeks.

The MD-11 they were looking to get fell through, thus the stoppage of hiring.

 

[Beer&Brauts]

Last I heard was possible interviewing in Aug, but nothing official. Heard a RUMOR that World is looking at acquiring some of Varig's MD-11s - not sure if that is what Peanuckle is reffering to.

I would definitely come to World all over again. Quality of Life and pay is far better than what the regionals offer, and I enjoy the lifestyle at World more than I did scheduled domestic flying.

 

[PeanuckleCRJ]

Yeah, I walked with BY about a week ago- said they NEEDED 12 FO's...just waiting on approval. I'm hoping to get the call in the next round. Got Monday-Wed off all next month, too. The more I've heard about the company, the more I've liked them. Sounds like a great place to work.

There was a UPS MD-11 that they were looking at recently, apparently. It was going to need a heavy check and such almost immediately, thus wasn't cost effective- heard from the rumor mill. Those Varig MD-11's would be very beneficial to getting me on board, haha.

We own some of the MD-11s World flies. We are waiting for conversion slots. Rather than just park them in the desert till a slot opens up, we are making a few more bucks leasing them to World.
