That being said, I expect you may be right that we will know this month. The original flying was scheduled to start in March, but since then it has moved up to 1/30. So, they probably have moved that award up to this month since the CBA allows them to release a new base bid on the 15th of any month.
Finally, my further understanding is that these two airplanes will start flying in CVG and then move to the Asia flying at a later date (pending another change, of course).
The routes starting 1/30 are BRU-CVG-BRU and MIA-MCO-CVG-MIA.

We have folks in our class that run the gamut of experience and age. If you get the interview, just remember they are looking for people (in the words of some of the interviewers) who they can trust with a $300 million jet on the backside of the world, and someone who can you can get along with for 12 hours in a cockpit.
