World Interview.....Whats the Good word!!!

Thx lurker.

haha, yeah, I only come out of the shadows every now and then.

BTW, I just checked, and it appears RG is going through upgrade on the 11 right now.

 

[lurker]

Speaking of upgrading, you should be getting close, right? Maybe the 5 years RK mentioned at the interview might hold true. Would you take first available upgrade?

I'm still 30-some numbers away, so who knows. Not that it's an option now or anything, but I think I might wait for an upgrade on the 11 rather than go to the 10. Maybe soon I can be making UPS FO money

For those of us in the pool already that are not MD11 current or qualed, what are the chances of us getting a class date anytime soon? It seems as though the current guys are being put in class ahead of anybody else right now.

 

[UM#1]

Heard there will be a couple of DC10 Second Officer slots offered to the pool guys who aren't MD11 qualified.

 

[bigsky]

They needed to hire quite a few pilots in a short time frame...for what they havent come out right and said. They have increased the list to be able to crew 6 additional md-11s, still only speculation.
There was quite abit of talk about even hiring current md-11 capts and put a fence around them for a short period until training could catch up and once properly staffed they would go back to right seat. The FAA has approved a short course for current qualified md-11 pilots so this is the only way they feel they are able to spool up this quick. I do anticipate that once all the md-11 needs are taken care of they will be very short on the DC-10 so anticipate some hiring down the road for that and I would anticipate them to again drop the md-11 prerequisite.

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!

A three day interview for an ACMI airline? YGBSM!!!

Yes it is. Perhaps you'll experience it one day.

dont even apply then

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!
