Don't bother , a good friend just went through their hiring process , The place is a damn mess , apparently one management person doesn't know what the other is doing /saying/promising
They entice you with high pay all the way to the actual job offer where the pay drops by more than 50 % to less than a regional airline first officer entry pay.
The schedule is two weeks on and one week off , the travel days if you are a commuter are on you so really 16 days on / 5 days off.
You'll need to sign a two years training contract , agreeing that you are an "at will employee" , that they can terminate you with or without cause and that regardless of the cause you are still obligated to pay them back.

They do realize there's a pilot shortage, right?

Yeah, but enough about the good, what's the bad part? We need to hear it all. Like Circa 1995 Pay for training, LOL? Where's this circus based out of, anyway?

From all that I heard about this outfit " Circus " would be the best description for this clowns infested company , word on the street is that they are hiring for all seats and all airplanes with no expansion happening .
their pilot group must be headed elsewhere .

You run, don't walk but run from a company like this. Come and check out Xojet, we are hiring and is a a pretty decent place to work.

I agree with everything that was said here regarding Worldwide jet .

I went through the interview process with them , to call this place a Circus would be to give them a complement .
The people involve in the hiring process are the most inapt you could run into , they will flat out lie to you about virtually everything , pay , seat aircraft , schedule ... you name it
They use tactics that internet scammer use:
" congratulations you just won " ... or please call us we would like to discuss a job offer for you when they haven't even processed any of your paperwork or before something insignificant like a job interview .
They have the most one sided training bond I have seen so far and I had seen few .yes , you sign that you are an at - will employee and that they can fire you for cause or for no cause and you are still bound by the training contract
If I had to choose between flying for them or flipping burgers I'd choose the latter , at least if that doesn't work I won't be 36k in the hole for that training contract .
The person who started this thread was asking what the relationships there are like ? well , when the recruiter tells you that the company's chief pilot doesn't have a clue I think it speak for itself.

Their recruiter ( Mr. C.H ) more than likely gets paid per each recruit he brings over so he would tell you whatever it will take to convince you come over be it the truth or a lie makes no difference to him.

Yes , don't walk away from this outfit but run.

sounds exactly right , I don't know much about this part of the industry but it seems like this one is one of their bottom feeders .

Worldwide is a steaming mess. Had two friends waste over a year of misery at their S-Show. They attract minimally qualified individuals, anyone who speaks up or dares try to MEL a legitimate squawk is furloughed...curiously around recurrent time. Rotations seldom happen as scheduled. Only "yesmen" and those with skeletons work there...bottom-feeder for sure!
