Can you speak to the working conditions on both 747 & 757?
The 75 and 330 are like working in a different company. Easy flying and great schedules. But very little opportunity to make extra $
The 74 is heavy crew all the time and tons of schedule changes. Worldwide operations and lots of DH. But the money is there to be made.
How are the med/dent bennies?
They are pretty good actually. Vision plan as well.
Decent Chief Pilot and D.O.?
One of the best CP's you could hope to work for. He is wonderful.
I don't really deal with the office very much and I've only been here a few months so I can't speak of the other 119's.

Western Global does in practice. Officially WGA only has AMS, ICN, DXB, and BOG as non-U.S. bases. But in practice they have approved basing pretty much anywhere there is a moderately sized airport. But yes, National is doing world-wide home basing (upon approval). Plenty of Aussies home based down-under who are flying for National.

do the 747 crews get decent (long) layovers or do they keep you moving??
Are the schedules always 17-18 on followed by 13 off?? Or are there sometimes split schedules where you work 8-9 days followed by 6-7 off??

It’s certainly no holiday. Expect to work hard during your 17/18 days on.
