I have heard of 63 and just turned 64 getting hired at various airlines. Would like you to get out of the schoolhouse and fly for money for 6 months to a year.

Good morning everybody - Apologies if that has question has been touched before, but with close to 2000 pages I might have missed it.
How are the changes to get assigned overseas, e.g. FRA Hahn ? Is it a proper base, or just a secondment ? Thanks

No international base. We just pass through cities.

Any idea how long its taking from submitting application to contact from recruiting.

Could be hours, could be months. Seen it all. All depends if HR misses or loses you in the shuffle.

Hahn is not a base in the normal sense. Hahn and Incheon are two places that are usually offered as an "outbasing" for crew. It goes by seniority. You will be available to the company for the entire month and may or may not actually see the base.

Interestingly, a bid for HHN came out today. The whole month on reserve at 130 credited hours of pay…767 drivers only, though.

If you are a 767 driver, you will only get outbase bid notifications for the 767 only. 747 has slots for the HHN outbase for May.

the only way to get called fast is to go meet them in person at a recruiting event. They call pretty much everyone within a few days of that. Anecdotally I know of someone that had app in for months, went to the event and got called in 2 days.

Outbase positions are always announced on the first of the month. Each fleet only gets the positions available for their own fleet.
