They split the classes to segregate twins vs. non-twins. Day 1 is 747 and/or MD-11. Day 2 is 75/76 and/or Bus.
I wouldn't be surprised if there are not any MDs assigned in the next class. With the pending ANC domicile closure I suspect the company will press the pause button until the bid results are posted.

I would have expected the opposite. Given the expectation that a large number of anc md pilots will bid the 74, I'd expect the greater need for new hires to be on the md for the remainder of the year.

Have you looked at the open in the MD lately?!!

As an MD-11 F/O on RSV, I am very aware of the OT amount in SDF. I've seen less, and I've seen more over the years on the fleet. ANC has only ONE trip this pay period.
During a 7 week leave of VAC and days off, I probably had only 2-3 JA calls.
We might be manned exactly where they want it, the flying is getting covered ... no one on the this forum knows the answer to what they want for staffing levels.
It was a logical and valid assumption by jetlaggy to assume there would be less of a need for MD-11 pilots as the fleet becomes domestic. Logic and valid do not apply at UPS !
