Kalitta at AirInc?

I know of a guy that was hired with 1100hrs TT but he is in the reserves and flies C17s.

And that means what? He can fly C17's? I'm not impressed!

So that means he has 700 hours in some other plane and the rest in a C-17...

It means he had military experience which could be a big reason.

emailed my stuff in almost two weeks ago and nothing yet...... TIna said she took it to the CP.

You fly A320s and you want to fly ACMI?

 

[ToiletDuck]

On the Air-Inc website it says PW and MH (CP and CE)

Isn't it PB not PW? We spoke on the phone several months back. Great guy to talk with.

A big reason for what???

Fair enough, and you're probably right, but I'm still not impressed. Whether it's a C17 in the military or a 727 for an ACMI, flying is flying and to turn away people with ACMI experience flying freighters because they don't have 4000 plus hours but hire a guy with 1100?? Doesn't make any sense to me.

Life isn't fair. If it was it would suck. Being unfair means those of us with drive and determination will advance while those waiting for the "fair" part will lag behind.

Met a UPS MD-11 FO that was hired with 1800 hours. He was a navy pilot. It is the nature of the business.

The chap who got hired with 1100 hours is a good pilot! He deserves it. Obviously, his sim evaluation went well! Plus he's a nice guy to boot!
