We don’t know since the A350F isn’t going to be flying anytime soon yet. I’ll imagine it will have a similar layout as the 777 to maximize space for cargo.

We all got access to the standing bid on Day 3. Instructor said he got ONT while in training a year ago. I am probably not getting JFK any time soon, but it is on the list.

Considering that the 350 forward bunk is supported by the aft forward galley support I would guess that it might stay the way it is. It would take quite a bit of design change to take out that forward bunk first gander. It would depend on their design review, as the forward bunk system does not extend much past the L1/L2 entrance path.
This is unlike the 77er that where the bunk system begins at the L1 door and obviously had to go.
What will be interesting to see is how the supernumerary area is built as the original A350 forward galley is very narrow compared to other airframes. So simply putting seats on the forward aft galley area would most likely be very close to the min space allowed for a primary exit. My guess is it would be possible to keep that overhead area as the space loss for the sitting area in the bunk is minimal. The other factor is the rapid depressurization panels built into the cockpit which are linked to the bunk, you cannot just throw a galley up behind the current cockpit wall as it would impede the big rapid d panel.

So simply putting seats on the forward aft galley bulkhead by construction of a 9G barrier would most likely be very close to the min space allowed for a primary exit.

The other factor is the rapid depressurization panels built into the cockpit which are linked to the bunk, you cannot just throw a galley up behind the current cockpit wall as it would impede the big rapid d panel. That said the overhead system in the bus is not much of an improvement on the 777F. It’s very narrow and the noise reduction system is junk, I always turned it off as it makes more noise on then off.

767 JFK FO is at least 1.5 years, probably closer to 2 right now for the junior pilot holding it. JFK is very senior on both fleets that have a base there(747/767).

You can find the latest vacancy award and it will show you what seniority is holding each base/position. It’s on GN in Crew Corner, Bid awards and packages, vacancy award.

Keen to join but to make it worth for my potential (international) commute I really need LAX/ONT - I am willing to take the lower pay on the 767 in order to get that (looks like the 777 is too senior in LAX).

What are my chances as a NH?

Are these 767 lines also 17 days without touching your base or do you end up in ONT at the odd occasion.


Thank you

The side by side loft set up would be okay. Maybe not as nice as the 74 but still better than the 777 bunks.

Does the 777 ever find it’s way to HNL or SYD? Or it’s primarily the 747 on those routes?

I’m not on the airframe but my understanding is it typically makes the same 6 or so stops. So LA, ICN, Hong Kong, Dubai, somewhere in Germany (Leipzig?) and then CVG or MIA. Think it’s MIA, CVG, or LAX as the start point and then the big question is are you heading East or west.

74 and 76 (International lines) have more diverse destinations.

No HNL or SYD currently for the 777.
