I have a similar timeline and resume as Texanmoose but I'm on the KC-135. Interviewed 20 Apr, pool email 2 June, call/CJO on 8 July.
Anyone have any pros/cons for 74 vs MD? I live in Cincinnati so SDF would be ideal.
Congrats! More tanker guys is always more better. As far as pros and cons go: MD will be mostly domestic flying with your average duty period involving two legs to the hotel or back home (for a turn). Trips length varies from turns (SDF to somewhere and back in one duty period), to 2-4 day trips, and finally weeklong trips that may begin or end with a commercial. 74 will be mostly international (SDF) or all international (ANC). Trips will be longer on average, but the automated line building software does enable them to build a lot of short efficient trips that can result in lots of commutes (sucks for ANC commuters).
