I’ve been offered a 747 class, but hear that 767 CA is 10 months. How much different is the 767 flying at K4?

Thanks again.

747 is a much easier job for a lot more pay. Who cares about sitting left seat, I know of two Captains on the 76 who constantly talk/joke about bidding back to the 74 as an FO!

How hard would it be to hold MSP overnights on the 76 consistently? Or am I thinking too conventionally from a scheduling standpoint?

I would suggest reading page 2 again.

On the 767 you actually kind of stick to your schedule, unlike the 747 side. While there is a lot to be desired from crew scheduling, things are slowly improving on the 767. So as long as you’re able to get awarded a line with MSP overnights, I’d say you could count on getting them. Of course this is still ACMI, with a scheduling department whom only know ACMI. So be prepared and best bet is to not let scheduling know you’d prefer MSP overnights. Just saying....

FWIW the MSP overnight, like most 767 overnights is so short you basically eat and go straight to bed.

I just meant joining us at K4. They did ask me a preference when I interviewed. I told them I wanted the 747 but would take what was offered.

Why would you ever give up seniority for equipment? In a short period of time (In the big picture) you bid the equipment you want and take the seniority with you. I hear we are running classes of 20 or more. In a company with less than 600 pilots 20 or 30 numbers is a lot to give up.

Does anyone know when K4 will start taking applications again? I think I’ve heard possibly January?

My recommendation just got the call on Thursday, so it seems that the window is opening again. And said pilot is not ASA, so it must be open to the rest of the world.
