I like to commute or travel to work once and then have a bunch of days off and never worry about commuting if needed. I like the idea that as a junior pilot I can still fly to great destinations without waiting for your seniority to get to a certain % to be able to do it (FedEx (unless you are base in Colongne Germany, HK is gone... move to OAK), UPS, and the big pax... you will not have that chance, you have to wait for a long time).

Class Schedule
Does anybody have info regarding the class dates for December and January on all fleets and is there somewhere I can see this information online but mainly the 747 and 777. Also anybody know the upcoming class sizes?

The company only tells the union about a month ahead so there’s no place for the general public to see their plans. For December there’s a 767 class on the 6th, a 747 on 13th and a 777 on the 14th. As to size who knows what the company wants. The last round of classes all had less than 10 show up with just one in the 767 class.

I know the 777 dos a lot of work for DHL Express (Bahrain hub of DHL) just wondering what are the major destinations they go to, a lot of Middle East or literally anywhere in the world like the 747?
