First, we do VNAV Non-prec apporaches and RNAV SID/STAR's, but not instrument approaches.

I don't agree a one size fit's all int//domestic 757/67 categorey is problematic from a proficiency standpoint - we have a few pilots now who focus on one element or the other to avoid or bid international routes. Most of the time it goes senior so those doing want to and do it frequently. See few of these trips assigned to reserve. There is also outstanding materials in our flight manuals, cockpit QRMS, as well as fleet bulletins for all international flying that provide step by step for those who need brushing up. Let's not put international stuff up on a pedastal - it's the easiest flying most of us have ever done.

Back to the orginal question - do we have a feel on whether NWA pilots will be incorporated into the Intl or Domestic side of the bid category?
