Holy smokes. They must be running two classrooms at a time. A few years ago its usually 12 or so per class.

I was told today in email from KF that there is a February 1st 767 class.

I was just offered a 767 class. Would any of you 767 guys be willing to give some updated insight on QOL?

Does the international flying go senior? Could a junior CVG FO avoid a month full of domestic night-flying? Can you sleep on the 4hr stopovers? I'm trying to imagine up to 17 days in a row of flying all night and sleeping all day... and it seems kinda rough. On long international flights, where does the 3rd pilot rest? Is it possible to sleep? How many credit hours are you averaging monthly these days? Good crews?

Also, will KF allow you to hold out for a 747 class?

I prefer to get 767 as I heard there is a slightly better QOL and better training. Didn't ask if I could hold out for 747. If there are cancels for the Jan 11th class she'll add me, if not she said she'd get me in the 76 Feb 1st class. Are you Jan 11th?

Nope can't hold out (At least I wasn't able to). I asked and was told that they have to fill the 767 classes first. I figured that because I have 4 engine experience they may want me on the 747...doesn't seem to matter! I start 11 Jan...looking forward to it!
