Ray --
I'll take a stab at your questions:
1. With your flight time, you'll go in as a direct-entry F/O, which is only offered on the freighter fleet. You can switch to the passenger fleet after 3 years.
2. You have too much flight time to enter as an S/O. You could move from F/O to Captain anywhere from 3-10 years depending on your experience (they skip over inexperienced pilots in order to offer upgrades to more experienced pilots).
3. As a direct-entry F/O, I don't think Hong Kong is an option, but you could switch to the passenger fleet based in Hong Kong after your 3 years is up. There are also passenger bases outside of Hong Kong, too.
4. I am willing to bet the fact that you interviewed before will be very, very helpful. The fact that you reapplied shows that you want the job, and they like that.
5. I don't know about having someone walk an application in.
6. I don't think so.
7. I know people who fly on both the cargo fleet and the freighter fleet out of North America, and they usually only work about 12 days per month. They fly about 2 trips per month. On the passenger fleet based in north america, you really don't do anything but fly from the USA to Hong Kong, and back. On the freighter fleet, you have some domestic trips flying between ANC and the USA.
I hope that helps a bit.
