ERJ,

So you just sent a resume in to the listed spot or did you have someone walk it in for you? The reason I'm asking is I sent an email to the HR address listed and was told unless there is a position listed on the hiring page they wouldn't take any resumes...

I got recommended by someone who works there, and when he was told by the Chief Pilot that there were openings coming soon, I sent my resume to the Chief Pilot.

HR told me in the interview that they had yet to cipher through all the resumes sent through HR. Where do you fly the herc out of? I flew slicks out of Pope and MC's out of Rhein Main back in the day.

Dutch,

I'm in Fayette-Nam now. I'm new to the Herc though. I'm a crossflow guy who was flying the KC-135 prior.

Is there a different place to send a resume if you want it to go to the chief pilot? I still have about a year left so no huge hury, but I'd really like to work at World...the wife and I really like Atlanta.

Great airplane, sorry about the location though. Say hello to Normandy, Sicily and the two other drop zones I spent so much time over.

With a year to go, you won't get much attention. They and most other carriers aren't that efficient with keeping resumes and talent in mind for such a long period of time. So maybe give them a call, start talking to them, call them like once every other month. Then when your within three months of getting out. Start bugging them for an interview.

BTW: Yes there HQ is in Peachtree City near Atlanta, and yes they do a little Atlanta flying, but your home based. So it really doesn't matter where you live. Still World is a first class outfit for non-sched flying.

Dutch,

Thanks for the head's up. Guess I didn't really realize World was home based. When I deployed last time I talked to some of the guys who were parked on the ramp with us. They told me the company flies you to the plane, so I should have known that...We still would like to live in Atlanta tho, so guess that's good either way.

Who do I need to call to start bugging? The HR folks or is there a pilot only hiring line or something along those lines? The email from HR I got said unless the website shows an opening they won't take the resume.

Thanks and take it easy,

GNH

Does it still seem like GAL will operate the 3 airlines separately? I have heard some folks say they prefer one seniority list. Given that there has never been a pretty merger of seniority lists, it seems that I would prefer that GAL 3 separate airlines....especially if I was a new-hire.

The mergers aren't alway pretty but they do add job security in the long haul.

The following article mentions Global Aero Logistics and World Airways.

"ATA still flying in red"

I don't know his name. But do me a favor... Sometime after the 19th, PM me asking for the Asst. Chief Pilots Info and I'll give it to you.
