Default 767 flying?

Hello,
I interviewed and received a CJO on the 767. I made it clear that my top 2 choices were 747 and 777, with 767 being a very distant 3rd. I want to fly internationally. Does the 67 do that, or is it all domestic Amazon trips?

Yes. For the time being we have a DHL run between ICN-TPE-NRT. We also do a significant amount of DoD flying in the Pacific theater and throughout Europe on our Pax birds. Also, while not international, we have Amazon trips to SJU and Hawaii.

Edit: Welcome aboard, by the way. My BBQ showed up while I was typing earlier. Keep in mind that the seat lock is a fast 2 years and you can swap to the 747 or 777 before you know it. The 767 is a terrific fleet to be on. Lots of variety, lots of lines with 15 to 17 days off, easy legs and short days. You should be pleasantly surprised.

While you may have been clear in your preferences, you also should have been made aware that there are other factors in class assignments;

Needs of the company
Your relative experience
Your performance in the interview process

As stated above, the 767 is still a fine option here and the seat lock will pass quickly.

Congratulations on getting the job offer! I was offered the 767 when I wanted the 777.

im very glad i got to fly the 767. Yes it goes internationally through polar and DOD for now (might get new 76 or lose 76 contracts.). I used to always bid Asian flying until i was senior enough to get jfk and go to Europe.

It’s also a great Boeing jet to learn Boeing as well as the operation. it doesn’t have a lot of the automation that the others do and you’ll get more hand flying in with landings.

I’m now on the 74 and I miss the 76 sometimes…it’s a closer knit group and not so tough on the body jet lag wise.

i recommend the 76 and you can always go to the 74 or triple a few years after.

I asked for the 777 and they offered me the 767. Currently in training and so far seems like a great place to fly for.

Could you guys post your flight times of when you received the offers? Thanks, trying to get a ballpark figure/range.

What are the bases that can be held on the 76 out of training? Is JFK possible? If not how long approximately to hold JFK? TPA?

Most Junior 76 FO’s by base:

TPA - 10/04/22
HOU- 7/12/22
JFK- 12/13/22
ONT- 03/28/23
PDX- 7/11/23

Your mileage may vary.

As Tired Soul stated above. But add CVG. We were told all 76 new hires start at CVG and bid out.

I only have 3400 hours. 125 multi time. 850 turbofan time (SE Jet 135) and 27 Multi Turbine. This is my first 121 job - and hopefully my last.
