New hire into the bus. I sat reserve for 1 month. Getting awarded VTO (Secondary) lines since now. Getting all trips with a bunch of DHs that conveniently pass though my home airport. Most trips at night but I am enjoying the ride. Grateful for opportunity.

When did you get hired?

"If you have certain special skills, you may be selected to fly the MD-11, MD-10."

I have tried to notice international, where the MD has flown through. The only place I can remember is TPE and ANC. I would probably be hired into the MD I am assuming because of my experience. I only want international and would volunteer in an instant for (I know 76 base) HKG or anything with lots of long HKG layovers (777). Is the MD mostly domestic? Thanks, tried to find info on this but could not turn anyting up.

A plan at 15 years any idea on the amount? Guessing 10 years as F/O then upgrading maybe the last five years. Four bars honestly means nothing to me, I would rather have max time off and some control of my schedule and vacation.

1) Please pass the popcorn.
2) Do any of your special skills involve making and/or pouring coffee?
3) How do you feel about domestic four legs a night?
4) Would you be willing to change your username?

Not all C-17 guys and tailhookers are offered the MD-11.

I'm ANC based. The trip I'm on now goes ANC-MEM-HNL-SYD-HKG-TPE-ANC. My next trip is ANC-MEM-CDG-DEL-DXB-HKG-TPE-d/h ANC. Lots of international flying for the ANC base (it's all international).

Are you a good pilot? Because you have to be GOOD to ride the thoroughbred.

Really? I thought you only had to be senior.;) Although I guess that now, you don't even have to be that.

Jetjok the "old days" at Fedex when MD pilots had interesting personality quirks is now over. No longer are MD guys sought out who have strong opinions and a abrasive manner. Now they spend 3 months essentially teaching them the three step process of handing the thoroughbred of the fleet. Hint: step 2 is "flair the jet before landing" :eek::rolleyes:

What do the MD guys use for flair? Buttons? Pins? Jalapeño Christmas lights?

Sounds awesome.

Just a joke.
