You you make more than 62, but dont count on it.
Reserve maybe at home though not ususally-only if it is really slow.
All travel is coach.
Upgrade will probably be quicker now with the new a/c. A few 60+ coming back from the fe seat I don't see them being enough to matter.
Send in your resume.
Its okay though I would recommend keeping all future options open.
The first two are from Malaysia thats why they are coming soon, the rest from JAL.

I wonder how many "Old School" guys will bid it?
Whats your source? I ran into a Kalitta crew last night at the sort and they never heard of the bid coming out yet. Just curious if you work there or heard it second hand.

Thanks.

The bid is out-not in e-mail yet, class starts Jan 28th. They can call training for the bid if they want. Everyone was surprised to hear this happen so fast after years of rumors. The Malaysia deal seemed to come out of the blue. The bid is available on the company site under training department.

The Malaysia A/C have probably come from the c360/sah deal falling apart. SAH and Oakhill sued GAP aircraft leasing for the BCF's failing to meet performance requirements. The A/C where retired from the MAL in 2002 and 2003 so they are low time and have been stored in the AZ desert during that time. They where combi's and are being converted in Xiamen. The have the highest thrust CF6's produced max TOW of 875K. Have fun with them the should be great planes. CN should be 24315/738 on the first and the second should be 24405. Look on plane spotters and the will still show being held be Boeing Leasing.

Sure was a sad day when the Cargo360 "dream" didn't pan out!

Thank HDG!

I just read that World is getting two 747-400s this year, rumored to be Malaysian as well. Are these the very same airplanes discussed here or are there more than two?

Thank you in advance for your information and advice,

No classics are going away, so as far as it looks, expansion.

The last classic upgrade class for Feb 08, has a guy hired in March 07 in it,
11 months, pretty quick.
These -400's will really mix things up, I ran into an SO, he said, he and two others he knew of would like to bid back to CA if they can, I am not sure how that is working out. So not many, still alot of upgrades available here.?

send your resume in, see how it goes, good luck.
