Also I’m currently on the B777 in the middle
east what are the chances of getting the 777 or do new hires go straight on the 74 ? Thanks
If your trip starts Monday in Cincinnati where you’re based, the company buys you a ticket Sunday to get you in position. Realistically they get you a ticket to get you to the start of your trip plus 10 hours of rest. Some trips start with a deadhead from your base to the plane, but you can usually get a ticket from, say, MCO to the plane without going to base first. This is more common on 747 and 777 I believe.
If you live in Orlando, you’ll have no problem getting a ticket out of Orlando. They also have TPA, DAB, JAX, MIA, SRQ, PNS, TLH, MLB, etc in Florida in case you decide to move.
If you have the WB international experience, I’m sure it won’t be too hard to get 777. It comes down to what they need but they’ll take your preference into consideration since I think they have a need for everything except 737.
