There is a limitation on who can use the international JS. Best to call our Ops as mentioned above to see if your airline is in that group. If not you can always find out what’s needed and contact your JS coordinator.

I probably shouldn’t “spill the beans”, but I can’t keep it a secret any longer. Effective November 1, 2019, all 767-300s will have the lavatories modified to the “turbo flush” specs. Basically they’re getting rid of the port-a potty type crappers. I hope this helps.

I heard the rumor is all 747 pilots will receive a lighter schedule and the associated lighter pay in November and December thanks to the CNET Santa Claus.

I think you are correct; I had always understood that aircraft to be going to Kalitta. I think the "newsworthy" part is that this is the first Kalitta CMI contract on a DHL-owned 767, which is something that probably only people deeply-interested in the cargo biz would care much about.
Interestingly (to me at least), MexicanaMRO took between 3-4.5 months to do the conversions on the last several 767s, all of them for Kalitta and owned by Kalitta. (MexicanaMRO is the second 767 conversion line for IAI/Bedek.) This one, N276DH, has been there 7 months and counting, so maybe needed a little extra work on the C-check that is usually performed at time of conversion (or any number of other innocuous issues).

How long will that push last. Let’s say I get trained at another company just to come to Kalitta. That may take 5-6 months maybe. Would Kalitta still be hiring 777 type rated pilots then?

A good friend once told me to not go somewhere you wouldn’t want to be stuck at for a few years. I’m also not good at gambling. Gotta do what’s best for you though.

Well, one must ask the question why we need people already type rated on the 777. The second question is for how long? I think I know the answer to the first question, I do not know the answer to the second question. Undoubtedly having a Boeing type, especially the ones we fly will help a lot. However, having a letter of rec from some one here and some PIC time time on a RJ will also get you an interview in 2020.
