Any good overnights/common destinations? Looks like Rota is awesome! How much international stuff is done on the 76? Is it only CVG and JFK base? Are you typically stuck with just "tuna cans" when based in CVG or do they mix it up and give you and Europe or Asia? The charters look interesting, are those few and far between?

Pay difference aside, anyone care to enlighten prospective 76 pilots on what to look forward to?
The 767 does plenty of international flying both DHL and passenger flying; the lines appear in both bases (yes only two bases for 767 right now) and are assigned from reserve lines. The destinations are similar to the 747. As for "do they mix it up", there is no normal schedule. You can get caught in 2-weeks of hub turns or be in Asia one day, Europe the next week and finish a pattern doing something else. Variety of flying is abundant and it is never completely predictable.
