Thanks!

For the 767, usually you're giving up one day off to get to CVG and get rested. DHL routes have wake-ups at 2 am or so, you have to have rest prior, and you need time to fly in. On the plus side, you get back in @ 1 am, so I'd usually get some sleep at the hotel and take a 10 am flight home.

If you're deadheading to Asia out of CVG, no need to come in early. I'd take the last flight to CVG for those flights.

Depends. They only send emails to specific fleets, so hard to tell now. Been getting 5-10/day lately for the 747, both CA and FO.

But don't worry, you won't get to pick your airplane anyway!

A hearty welcome to all. I know you'll hear a certain amount of b-tching here and other places and while most of that is legitimate, I have to say that I am enjoying my time here immensely. If wandering the planet and engaging in adventures that most folks wearing wings have no idea exist, then this place is for you. I intend to wring all the fun I can out of this until I hang up my spurs in a few years. If you can deal with the annoying and embrace the adventure then this is the place for you.

Just got the call yesterday for the phone interview. Guess it went well cause I got the interview in HPN at the end of the month.

Applied at the end of June.
Test notice about a week later and scored an 85. Took a month and almost a week to get the call for the interview.

On a side not. I have read plenty of the pages but don't specifically remember anybody interviewing in HPN. Anybody with some insight on this new place?
