I only know about the interview because they have sim time blocked out for the evaluations. Who has been contacted is anybody except the people doing its guess.

Thanks!

I received a call for an interview today. Very shocked since I don't retire from the military for another six months. I've been thinking I wouldn't hear anything until 1-2 months out from my availability.

Anyone else?

Similar timeline to you, within a month or two. I was surprised, as well, since I'm a relatively low time guy and applied several months ago not thinking I had much chance of getting called.

Quick question, does K4 allow international commuters or would I have to get myself from FRA to the States on my own time and dime to pick up the company deadhead?

You have to pick an airport in the 50 states to commute to and from that has commercial air service. Before the latest contract, interpretation of this requirement was for the most part "if you can get yourself to where one of our aircraft is we will just have you start your month there". On a month by month basis they would usually relieve you of the requirement to get to the US on your own. Sometimes if there was not an aircraft that you could "catch", you were stuck buying a ticket if you could not jumpseat. Under the new contract and management, there is an emphasis to keep crews on their lines. I suspect this will eliminate a crew members ability to start their trip somewhere other than the original departure point. At this time we have no trips that start in France.

I've seen the 16 day trips mentioned. However what's the average days off a month?

What ever is left in the month. So 14 or 15. February gets blended with January and March to create 3 months of 30 days each.

We have guy's that live overseas (one in FRA I believe) and they generally make their way to BRU or LEJ (regular DHL flights) to head to CVG. However you maybe lucky (if on a RSV line) to get something starting in Europe.
