Im glad to hear that your CBA puts limits on extending pilots.

Gotcha. This is what happens when posting while enjoying post-flight beverages. :o

anybody? little help here!:)

The application website changed sometime in the last several months. If you originally applied before the change over, I think you need to re-apply. Could that be the issue?

I called the help desk and the guy said that filling out the other part was fine, that I would basically have two apps on file? I'm not sure that's correct, but what do I know lol?!
Maybe one of you guys who's having trouble as well could call them as well, and see what they say?

My understanding is the first (short) application is what used to be the PAQ. The longer online application is when they are interested to know you more. It is the same what used to be the the more detailed PAQ by email before an interview.

So yes, filled it out. They want to know more info about you like past employments, training history and so on.

Ok thanks. My original app is dated 6/6/16, and I assumed that was all there was to it, so I didn't log back in until a few days ago, and noticed it, plus the newer iForm part in the section above it, that asked to list prior employees, flight time etc...

No gouge. You just list it during your interview. They will work with you to give you the aircraft that you want.

Yeah if you want the 767 you ask and are given. Presumably you want the whale which means you have to ask then wait and hope.

The cool kids are in the 767 and the grumpy old men are in the whale. Also FEDEX and UPS prefer 767 time and type rating so there's that too.

Actually, I think a lot of us in the 747 just care about the pay beyond year 1, not the aircraft. In fact, while I enjoy some of the 747 flying, I would rather be flying domestic on the 767 with no more than 3 time zones to cross...but the pay difference hurts. Let's make it one pay rate in new contract and see who ends up in which fleet.

Of course...there ARE some pilots that just "have to fly the 747"....
