My interview was last August.

Day 1; (business casual) Evening meet and greet . Question and answer, overview on the company power point presentation and beer (seriously)

Day 2; (business casual) @ Air Inc. The sim ride was in a very pitch sensitive desktop simulator with a very primitive visual; Flap and gear operator will set all the configurations for you and handle the thrust levers until you're ready to level off....no call-outs required. Depart LAX, vectors, join a couple of radials and intercept some NDB bearings, holding entries (just say how you'll enter, not actually make the entry) and vectors to an ILS. Don't get low and slow as it is almost impossible to recover when fully configured. They don't judge you on the landing but they want to see you do it.....I put tire tracks in the grass beside the runway and they still hired me.

They provided pizza for lunch.

The other half of the day is dedicated to computer testing. Half the group did the sim first, computer test second. Vice versa for the other half. The test included math, psychological questions and word problems. Just be honest and don't try to trick the psych part. Then everyone goes for a drug screen.

Day 3 (suit and tie); Panel interview. Mine was with the assistant CP, a line Captain, and an HR woman and it lasted about 25 minutes. I was asked to describe my aviation career and why I think I would fit in at World. There was one TMAAT question and they wanted me to tell them why someone would be able to get along with me on a 10 hour leg. Overall, it was pretty relaxed.

I stayed at the Wellesley Inn ($50 at the time if you asked for the World rate) and the panel interview was conducted there in a conference room. It made it so much easier to hang out in the hotel in my boxers until the interview time (determined by when your flight home departed ATL). Then I just walked down the hall from my room to the conference room. I wore my suit for no more than an hour.

I hear that sometimes the sim rides are in a 737 simulator at the Delta training center. Also, I heard that the formal interview is sometimes on day 2 and the sim/computer testing is on day 3.

Good luck!

World is a class airline that flies all over the world, with a bunch of great people. The largest mover of American military, I'm glad not just anybody gets to fly our troops.

The DOD ain't that picky. Tower Air used to fly the troops.

Ain't that the truth. But World has tried to be a first class company and airline. Tried to be picky about hiring selection, and tries to take care of some old equipment they fly. Yes, I said "try's", because it doesn't always work out.

Really it is an evening, a day and a morning.

So, what is your point? Are you implying that World is not worthy of its own interview process?

Brownonthebone is too insecure and irrevelant make a point.

 

[Fit59]

Brownonthebone is one of the biggest tools/trolls on this board. I really hope he isn't a UPS pilot, or our interview process is too weak!

What percentage of newhires will be placed on the DC10 vs. MD11? I know that typed Gemini pilots are getting hired - what other types of pilots have been hired recently (regional, fractional, corporate, military) - any trends in terms of backgrounds beyond the Gemini pilots?

In the past, new-hires have come from all backgrounds until ATA shut their doors. Until the influx from Gemini, they were giving preferential interviews to ATA refugees. I imagine once the ATA and Gemini group slows down, we'll begin to hire from all backgrounds again.

It's hard to assign percentages to the 10 or 11...it varies.

Any word on how much hiring will continue, with or without the ATA & Gemini refugees?
