However, WG still offers a) home basing and b) management that actually knows how to make money, so in the long run they're prolly ahead, if ever so slightly.

Was worried it might be freight dog code for a bedroom community outside of Florence.....Ky.

The other run is a Belgium, stops in Africa with a layover in Nairobi, then fly back to Europe. Manufactured goods down, fresh fish and flowers/vegetables back to Europe.

Saw a couple of their crews in ICN last month.... flying an all white MD-11F... they were in the same hotel as we were and they seemed middle of the road on the company. They were complaining about the 20 on 10 off crap as well as the one crew had been sitting in ICN for 6 days....

They had a good group of guys that got offered the IC class on the 400. But as typical Neff operation they only gave us two weeks to show up in class and almost all of us had to turn it down. They ended up dredging the bottom off 400 typed guys from SAI who didn't want to be in the right seat of the 777 or stay in the left seat of the 737. Only one guy who went is really sharp...TM....I am ex SAI and was the only one in the original class.....Most of the class would never have been LCA's at SAI....Take with a grain of salt, Im happy where I'm at so I wish you all the best. WP is great!

Here is the scoop as of 2016. They are a ACMI for numerous affiliates. They hire through a company called Aero Partners in FL. Here is the good stuff. Pay is by the day. Yes I said it, by the day. They can work you up the max per month and you get nothing extra. Starting Capt pay per day is $340 and FO is $226 per day. 150% pay starts after the 20th day. So first year flying a heavy MD-11 or 747-400 as a Captain is $65,280 and FO $43,292 The rates are the same on the MD-11 or 747-400. Max Captain pay is year 15 at $117,000. Crews are home based non CASS....What do you all think?
