Everyone: thanks for the great feedback and food for thought!
Plift: this is exactly what I was looking/hoping for re: Asia lines with the DH to/from ANC. How senior are they? Can i reasonably expect to get them awarded as a junior 76 FO.

On the 76, if you can bid a line of Asia flying, they pattern you to deadhead out of CVG day one and deadhead back to CVG by your last day. If you live in Anchorage you can typically deadhead straight from there on flights that depart later and get back sooner than your awarded pattern out of CVG. 74 Is definitely ideal for an Anchorage local but there are ways to make the 76 work out ok.

So, the 767 goes to Asia and Australia? Is there a stop-off somewhere (Hawaii?) or does it have the range to to nonstop?
I'm often checking flightaware out of curiosity and never see the 767 doing anything but domestic and occasional Europe.. do they block tracking some flights?
No biggie, just curious..

I have asked some 76 guys how senior the Asia flying goes and was told its a mix of seniority. However looking at the latest bid awards it doesn't look like any very junior guys got it. If you were hired onto the 76 soon you should move up in seniority quick since most of the growth next year should be on it.

I also spoke to HR this past Tuesday Morning.
She mentioned the SA Class on December 22 and I also
Declined.
She told me that the classes that she would be working on after
Staffing the SA Class on December 22 was:
- One 747 Class in January 2017, One 767 Class in February 2017
and One 747 Class in March 2017.
Seems like you might want to call up KF, and ask her if you can
Be considered for a 747 Class!
But, You DIDN'T HEAR THIS FROM ME!
😉👍🏾

I contacted KF about a 747 class that started a week after my availability. She told me that class was 3 classes away and she had to fill the classes prior before she could offer me a spot in that class. I went online and purchased an edible arrangement and sent it to her in Purchase. The next day I got a phone call telling me I had an "unofficial" spot in the class I wanted....

LPT. Be nice. Do not throw people under the bus.
Who knows what happened behind the scenes. But in the front of it you just threw KF under the bus -- big time. Her boss most certainly reads these posts. And they know who you are.
And they know who I am. But they know that I do not care, which is a privilege that comes with being old. Neither of you are in that position.

Tenacvols,
Although it initially seemed like a good idea, I retract my saying "nice" (too late to edit). In addition to throwing KF under the bus, you may have thrown yourself under as well.

This is going to be interesting to watch.
