World Hiring Again

[FlyBigE]

Thanks MD11DRVR...

I had heard this as well. I would like to see ATA operate those themselves as that would create friction and ill will between the pilot groups. With that said that is probably what GAL would want as it would be easier to whipsaw carriers that dislike each other and would not work together. Where those planes go is not any line dogs choice but we will feel the pain from the choice.

Thread hijack.

There's a World captain running around the system telling any ATA crew that will listen, that it's in our (WOA) contract that World will operate those DC10s. Be advised, this individual is generally considered to be an idiot and is easily confused by facts. If you see him on the ramp in KWI, give him a cookie and send him back to his plane.

Anyone,
how long does it usually take to hear from World if selected for interview?

 

[jstars135]

Usually within 24 hours because training usually starts less than 2 weeks from your interview. I've seen training start a week after the interview.

The World Chief pilot told interviewing pilots last night that World is acquiring 3 DC-10's from the GAL acquisition.

I have heard 3 or 4 myself if the sale goes through. That being said I also heard the FAA had some problems with ATA's DC-10 training program and we all know airplanes don't make money on the ground. Good luck to the ATA guys on getting the program spooled up. I hope its not a case of internal sabotage to prove the point why they decided to give the DC-10's to World. Our management did the same to us on the 767's to justify buying NAA. They said we could not spool up ETOPs fast enough. Well we could have if they had started working on it when the DO and Chief Pilot were telling them to. Getting the DC-10's is good for my seat placement,but with that said I do not want to throw another pilot group under the bus to get there. Good luck to us all................

Any idea/forecast on the hiring window. I am one of the recent ABX furloughies(sp?). Second furlough from ABX, enough is enough, time to move on. World would be a perfect fit, but timing is everything.

Heads up, training is this month, info for those that need to free up their schedules.

I was going to ask if the guys interviewing had heard anything. Thanks for the info.

Anyone care to share the realistic hiring minimums?

Anyone care to share the realistic hiring minimums?

My apoligies as I do not have current info. Last I heard competitive should be:

3000-4000 tt
1000 pic turbine
Glass a bonus
LOR if you can get one but many hired without so don't hang up on it.


From what I heard do back away from trying as folks have been hired with graetly varied times. If they have a slot to fill last minute and you're the one in front of them you may be it.....Good Luck

P.s. Anyone with more current please chime in!!!!

 

[GogglesPisano]

Try to get to an AirInc job fair. That's how a lot of us got in with no LOR's.

 

[jhflyhi]

My friend just got the hired call today. He said that competative mins for this time around were 5000TT and 2500 PIC, (just his opinion based on the candidates). He also said the mext class has been posponed for maybe a month due to training resources.

 

[pimpinthesky]

Any Idea which interview class he was In. Just wondering, I also interviewed but have not heard anything. So, Guess im just wondering if you get a letter in the mail saying thanx but no thanks.

 

[legalalien]

Two of the guys from the first group (out of 8) got called that I know of. One got DC 10, one the MD 11. Unfortunately I haven't heard anything yet (I was in the first group.) so I assume that I was either turned down or got put in the hiring pool.

 

[cheyflyer]

He also said the mext class has been posponed for maybe a month due to training resources.

Is that the June 20th class you're talking about?

 

[UM#1]

FWIW , I interviewed in the second group, got called yesterday for dc-10 starting the 20th. I know of 2 more guys in my interview group that got called for md-11 starting 20th. Can't Wait!!!

 

[Palmtree Pilot]

I was also in the second group and got the call monday morning at 11:30am for the MD-11 on the 20th.

What kind of flying does the DC10 do at World? Any specific routes that are common on that bird? Just curious. Thanks.


Bye Bye--General Lee

The DC-10 pax bird does AMC mostly right now. The 2 DC-10's cargo birds were last doing cargo from Europe to Africa. One of the nice things about World is if you don't like the destinations give it a week or two and it will change. The last 4 years with the strong AMC flying in support of the war has been the most steady influence on routes. But even with that there is enough change to keep it interesting.
