Thanks Mike for the quick reply and warm welcome....my family and I are so pumped! I've snuck some peaks at a bud's CCS trying to decipher bid packages and it looked like 756 was all stateside stuff like ORD-IAH no? I didn't see ANY international on that equip out of ORD so I must be searching incorrectly. Right now they aren't awarding 756 to newbies as those slots are being filled by 2-yr seat lock releases I was told....but I'd definitely be interested, especially because I've heard many international pairings are commutable on both ends. Thanks again, BK
