Default World phone interview

Guys,

I'm still in the sandbox and the folks at World said I need to do a phone interview prior to getting me scheduled for a normal interview...I've looked but haven't found any info. Can someone help a brotha out?

Basically are they just checking that all of your info is correct and you're still available or do they ask some more in depth questions about the company, etc? I definitely don't wanna blow my chances before I even get started.

Thanks!

GNH

It is mainly informational and to see your level of interest, They might mumble something about how you feel about taking a middle seat for several hours etc. The call is a no-brainer.

Radials,

Thanks for the info. Middle seat for several hours? Is this in regards to flying somewhere to meet the plane? Hopefully I can get my butt out of the desert and get to somewhere that I can actually use a phone to call them and get an interview scheduled...

Thanks!

If you are going to be in this business, get a laptop and download Skype! You can phone home from almost anywhere in the world! Besides where is the next free breakfast, a frieghtdogs, best friend.

Yeah, a buddy of mine has Skype and it's great. Unfortunately we don't have internet access for personal computers here...

Do you work for Kalitta--your avatar looks like one of their 747s?

Zach,

Unfortunately it didn't happen. I was told they need a firm date b/c they will plan on sending you to class within 2-3 weeks of the interview. I still had to talk to finance to get my leave balance straight. By the time I got back and gave them a good date it looks like the hiring might be on hold or could be b/c of the ATA guys getting the nod. Either way I was told as soon as something comes up they will be in touch.
