Emboogie!

There is a list running at the moment which is closed to new entrants. In August the "new" lists will open and you will be able to register for WW (or anywhere else for that matter!) This list should become active in October and then its a waiting game.

If you have not achieved WW by two years from October the list is scrapped and a new one will be opened which again you will put your name on.
Every two years the list is re-opened.

Hope that makes sense!!
To give you an idea, there are transfers taking place from Euro to WW at the moment, they are transferring folk who joined in January 2005 so about two and a half years service.

The list sometimes comes down to 18 months service and sometimes goes as high as 4 years service. Its just the luck of the draw for how many they need.

One thing to bear in mind though is that Eurofleet is the new Worldwide with regards to desirability! For the first time in years (if ever) there are more people waiting to come to Eurofleet LHR from WW than want to go in the opposite direction!

You will of course be able to make your own mind up after a coupole of years flying Euro but about 50% of people being called for transfer to WW at the moment ARE TURNING IT DOWN!!

You can go for Purser after 3 years on Eurofleet and this is a big pay rise which will see you earning more than if you were main-crew on WW and you get to fly in charge!

Good Luck
