Western Global is worth a look. Worldwide Home Basing, and if you want Boeing you may be able to get the 747. It may be better than the above places for you.

WG is definitely a LOT better than the Southern 737, for almost all pilots.

Namaste...

WGA is not hiring for the 747 for the foreseeable future....until they are hiring for the 747. Don't count on getting the whale. The MD-11 is the machine in most need of crews. they just got 2 more MD's for a fleet of 17+ MD-11's. A growing company that beats flying for Southern hands down.

I would think an MD-11 type would really help for FedEx and UPS. I would also think it would help for Delta and American. After a few years you could bid over and now you've got MD and Boeing experience.

You cant switch between the two. once your on the md11, you are always on the md11.

True, but makes no difference if you are just punching your ticket to one of the big 5.

No one cares if you’re typed on MD11 vs 747. Heavy international jet time is just that.

Lol, they would keep a lot more people at wga, and also keep them happier as well if the made it you can only fly the 747 after flying the md11. Everyone wants to fly the 747, no one knows what a md11 is.
