Thanks! Looking forward to getting started in a few months

Hoping folks could pass some knowledge to help me start building my list of aircraft preferences. I searched for this info but couldn't find anything posted recently..if I missed it just let me know.

Anyway, I'm scheduled for the light twin class and based on my age (38) I figure I'll be right in the middle (or slightly aft) of the pack when it comes to class seniority. I'm married, no kids and plan to commute from the Florida Panhandle (Destin/Pensacola) so instead of week on/week off I'd prefer a single long trip or perhaps 2 shorter trips spaced out a day apart so I could just stay in SDF on the off day. Overall I'm trying to minimize the time I spend commuting and maximize the total amount of consecutive days spent at home. International flying definitely interests but that would be a secondary priority to the schedule I just described.

All that said, I know I'll be the new guy and understand I'll be a bottom feeder for awhile but which SDF based airframe would you recommend? TIA, I'm excited to meet a lot of you on the line!

I don’t believe they are offering SDFZ to the light twin classes currently, so the only international available would be on the Bus to Mexico and Canada. That said, take SDF 75 and you could bid over to Z in December.

Z has been offered to all classes (heavy and light). However, only 2 were awarded for the July class.

Is junior Z flying just domestic because the international goes senior?

You'll be do Asia flying cause no one likes SZX.

Z is all international. 75/76 SDF is domestic. It is separated from 75/76 Z

slight correction.
757SDFZ is partially domestic and international. 757SDF is domestic.
