Just to avoid the commute to ANC and then after say 3 years with seniority move over to the 747 and hopefully just be able to hold Miami or LAX on the 747 and possibly even upgrade then.
Would a new hire on the 777 hold LAX straight away or within say 6 months?

The November vacancy award listed 12 777 FO slots in LAX for new hires. The December vacancy award has 777 vacancies back in CVG. So, I would think that you'd have a shot at holding LAX either right away, or shortly after being hired if you do get the 777.
Best of luck to you.

Either way I’m sure the 777 flying whilst not quite as diverse as the 74 is still probably pretty good….👍

I do not think AAWW management is in a big hurry to buy 777s for charter work where they sit around between trips.
Yeah no point getting more 777’s if you can’t staff them. Still happy to go wherever they fly though.

…or to further complicate things for you, 3 of the additional Titan Leasing 777s are leased by TNT/FDX. The 2 other Titan 777s are dry leased to AeroLogic who operates them for DHL.

That’s really good , so if you get extra fee days en ANC you can go home ( Seattle ) ? Quick question for everyone any good news for December interview?

It’s all relative. My commute usually takes 13+hrs one way and 2 stops. I can’t wait to get a different location.
