I'm trying to imagine up to 17 days in a row of flying all night and sleeping all day... and it seems kinda rough. On long international flights, where does the 3rd pilot rest? Is it possible to sleep? How many credit hours are you averaging monthly these days? Good crews?

Also, will KF allow you to hold out for a 747 class?
I prefer to get 767 as I heard there is a slightly better QOL and better training. Didn't ask if I could hold out for 747. If there are cancels for the Jan 11th class she'll add me, if not she said she'd get me in the 76 Feb 1st class. Are you Jan 11th?

Nope can't hold out (At least I wasn't able to). I asked and was told that they have to fill the 767 classes first. I figured that because I have 4 engine experience they may want me on the 747...doesn't seem to matter! I start 11 Jan...looking forward to it!

Would anyone else who has recently been sent the assessment, called for an interview, or has recently been hired mind giving their quals/background and any internal recs?

Luckily the Giants are going to be nowhere near the Super Bowl so I can rest easy.

I was sent the assessment earlier this year, June or July? I don't recall exactly.

I was called several times for an interview but I couldn't make it happen with the first invites.

12k+ total, 2 type ratings, 7k+ jet PIC. 121/135/91 background. I had internals, but I have no idea if they ever made it to the interview board.

I think that's situational. An F/O of mine got hired there last summer. They put him and 3 other guys in the 747 because they lived in ANC. I guess staffing that base is problematic.
