plus $55/day per diem, which you won't come close to using during your two months in the school house. free breakfast every day and free dinner 3 nights a week at the hotel.
and so far, on the 767, training pay is the first four months. curious if we'll see a real airplane sometime in month 5.

All of the above and none of the above. Crazy thing here is that seniority doesn't do much for you really. You owe 17 days of your life to the company, in what way will have so many variables one cannot say with certainty a specific kind of scedule. As for pay, you can count on 50h a month your first year and 62 after that. Anything else is a bonus. Days off are 17 - total days of the month though if you back-to-back that stuff you'll have almost a month off. On the other hand if you back to back it the other way you'll have 17+17days of flying. It's too dynamic here to give you sure specifics, so if you like surprises every time you go to work, come on over!

Could any junior 76 guys give a sample of their actual schedules, pay credit and days off in the last few months? Much appreciated.

NOPE and that's what you'll be living off of. By the time you take out taxes from the $1600 a month and add in the perdiem it's about $2500 a month which is doable IF you try to live off the hotel's food, cook boxed meals in your room, and live cheap. It was a tough 4 months but my wife and I saved money prior and made it. In general, changing jobs costs money and if you want to do that you should be saving money.

I'd have to look, but I generally end up with 60-day lines (usually 3 trips total), and credit 70-75 hours/mo on average. Days off are anywhere from 13-15.

If you could please give an example of 60-day (3 trips) line foot print. Curious where did blocks of days off fall in between those 3 trips. Also, is there a contractual min block of days off line/reserve?

Ive been at anchorage for almost a year. Im about 45% up the seniority list there and bid a good schedule. I normally do not end up back in anchorage until the end of the pattern. Most of it has to due to the issues that deal with the heavy rest rules. They don't want to bring you back and lose out on the opportunity to use you. Of course others experience may differ then mine.
