World Airways
 
Any update on hiring? Kind of quiet lately. I know they picked up some Gemini guys. Just wondering what's in store for the rest of us.
Thanks

I talked to a buddy of mine over there. He said they are runnin the Gemini guys through the short course. They're still hiring on the outside as far as I know. I believe they're getting a couple more 74's too..

Annouced fleet expansion is 3 MD-11 (ex GAC), 1 B747F and 1 DC-10. Hring for the MD's is complete with the GAC pilots coming on board. I was told that they were still interviewing, but only for a few slots.

Heard anything about a second DC-10 towards the end of the year?:D

ATA guys in the pool will get asked first for any new DC10 spot (FO or SO) that opens up. Right now only approval from bean counters is 40 crews. Once they realize this isn't enough (which shouldn't take long, we are super short) they will give approval for more crews thus more new hire classes.

I think this is the plane I mentioned. All other DC-10's are going to be for parts.

There's quite a number of folks in the pool, that's why the additional numbers will be small.

OK, thanks. How soon before the recently arrived DC-10 is put in service?
