Kalitta Interviewing?

[One Dot Low]

Also remember that at KA, you need the North Atlantic check out (NAT track) before being released. So, if you do your OE over in Honolulu or South America, you will not get signed off until you do you Atlantic crossings.

Do they tend to prefer heavy time, or PIC? For example, 4000TT, 1500 SIC jet or 4000TT, 1000TPIC light turboprop (say, kingair or similar)?

Thanks.

any recent hires can shine some light on what is competitive flight time and experience?

Also, I see that the co deadhead you from your resident airport to the departure city, but do they deadhead you back to your resident airport?

I see that the lines always start at JFK and then back at EWR in the middle of the pairing (6-7 days later), then on to the second half of the 17. Has the company considered breaking the 17 in 2 halves? Perhaps making some lines 7 on 7 offs?

If one is one reserve, how many R4, R3, R2, and R1 are in each 17days? do you know that in advance?

Thanks alot for your info.

Yes

The company has multiple variations of breaking up the 17 day lines. You have to have a minimum of 5 days between trips. As for the R days, they are assigned as needed when you or your captain does the daily check in.

If one is one reserve, how many R4, R3, R2, and R1 are in each 17days? do you know that in advance? Unless you bid reserve you would until the day before.

Thanks alot for your info.

Good luck

there is no guarantee of any of that. You could call and they send you to ANC or LAX to start. you could finish in CHS or MIA. There is no ever half of it, you could end up sitting in LAX at the Hacienda for a week, or ride in a car between Liege and Brussels(Leuven) a couple times before you actually fly, then maybe to Bahrain and back to Shannon. It's an adventure for sure.
You are supposed to be back in the lower 48 by 1900Z to finish your 17 days, then on a plane home to your resident airport by 0000Z.

Much much thanks for all of your info. I'm just another Aloha guy trying to find work.

sorry, more questions:
Are the -400 lines expected to be better/worse/same as the classic's? Same Pay?

It sounds like there is a great amount of flexibility that the co has with regards to the pilot's schedule. Do they only do that to the Reserves, or the line-holders' schedules are never reliable too?

Any ideas how I can get the call sooner for an interview? How long was your wait? Thanks again.

 

[Birddog]

Not sure about the 400 lines. Rumors abound, though.

I haven't been here all that long, but so far I have found a line holder's schedule to be somewhat more reliable than a reserve. Even if you end up off of your scheduled line, they seem to keep the line holders moving before the reserve guys. Basically I treat every schedule I get as a mystery tour. I leave on one day, return on another, and who knows what will happen in between.

I went to a Miami job fair and got called for an interview within a couple of weeks. Got the good news letter about a week after the interview.

Sorry to hear about Aloha. If Kalitta doesn't work out, I hope you find something else that you like soon. Feel free to fire away any other questions.
