Sounds like aircraft assignments are seniority based, on age, depending on what’s available for that class?

Thanks
The old airline saying at any airline has always been to go for the larger fleet type for more variety. That seems to hold true here also but isn’t as large a difference as at some Legacies. Ask this at indoc so they can tell you the cities where the two types spend a lot of time. If your near one of the cities it could (should) impact your choice.

There are some special programs that are 767 only. One of them has a higher 80 hour guarantee, and they often fly above. The other is flying scheduled air service between LAS and HNL. That is all those crews do, and they get about 30-48 hours a month with 64 guarantee.

We don’t really talk about our other regular destinations. You’ll go to everywhere except Antarctica.

Hours per month. Anywhere from zero to 85 depending on program you’re in. They say the average guy does 25-48 a month. I have 7 hours for this month. I did 36 last month. It will be 16 days on the road with 2 over ride days at home. I’ve never been used on the over ride days since the new contract last April. If they use them it goes above your guarantee.

If you dig through the last six months or so, most of those questions were already answered.
