There’s not much talk about the 767 here other than they fly domestic only and you don’t fly as much. Is there anyone working for K4 that chooses the 767? If so, I’d like to hear more about that. Do you make more than guarantee? How much are you flying? Are you doing the same 16 day schedule?

A 3rd year CA making line guarantee is still grossing over 14k a month including perdiem. Keep in mind, it is possible to do the same as an FO on the 747 on first and second year pay with OT, if you want it.
Do the airplanes come back to CVG throughout the 16 days? What would being local to CVG look like for a K4 767 pilot? Thanks.

It’s the best job ever if you live in CVG from what guys and gals that live there are saying. Of course this is all subject to change and is contingent on the 767 flying DHL domestic.
I'm interested. I plan to apply once they are accepting resumes. I've done a similar schedule for about 5 years and I'm familiar with the challenges of being on the road that long. However, I stayed within UTC-10 to UTC-3.5 during those trips, so I'm not sure how much pain is incurred with the worldwide travel you guys endure.
I guess you don't know until you try it.

November bids are out and I’m just wondering when Rosetta Stone will offer a product that helps decipher and interpret the pre civil war era scheduling bid packet. Same fatigueing lines as always, nothing ever changes. At least there’s a ton of flying out there (except for 767).

Flight deck headsets
Does the company provide headsets on the flight deck, or does everyone have their own? What is the noise level like, and are ANR headsets preferred? Do most pilots wear some sort of noise cancelation or earplugs to attenuate noise fatigue on long duration flights?
