Kalitta at AirInc?

[ToiletDuck]

Does anyone know if they will still be there? If so do you know who will be representing them? I'm wanting to get in with this company and would like to hear from anyone who'd be there. With the regionals hiring like they are I don't know what their time requirements would be. I'm only at roughly 2750hrs tt, 1250-1300ish multi, 1000hrs multi turbine, 150ish multi turbine PIC. Would it be a waste for me to show up and talk to these guys or do any of you that work there think this plus a good handshake and communication skills(sex favors) will get me anywhere?

Your time seems a little short, however nothing wrong with talking to them. I've heard they will be there probably assistant cp or the cp himself, if not them someone else in management.

 

[ToiletDuck]

I figured as much with my times but all I can do is keep trying and keep flying. Feel free to put in a good word for me

I havnt seen anybody hired for the right seat who does not have atleast 4000 tt.

They were putting low time guys on the panel, but not anymore from what I hear.

With that being said, I would still go talk to them.

Good luck.

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

Yea I guess I'll just hold off I guess. Maybe when I break 3k.

I would recommend going and meeting whomever is there. If you make a good impression at least they have a face to go with the resume-it could help in the future.

 

[ATR-DRIVR]

When and where for this one?

 

[Guam360]

On the Air-Inc website it says PW and MH (CP and CE)are going to be there, in Dallas.

We had two guys in our class with less than 4000 hrs.

it is not unheard of and they do NOT put guys in the panel anymore.

Apply and go to the fair, dude, if you want to work here go and try, apply.

Howz it Junk?

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

 

[#%&@$!]

Toilet Duck - No harm in trying.

PS - the youtube link in your signature doesn't work.

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!

 

[Zoneload]

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

 

[ToiletDuck]

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

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

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.

 

[Zoneload]

A big reason for what???

 

[pipejockey]

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.

 

[GittinFatter]

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!
