Is Kalitta still hiring?

[Stranger]

Anybody know if Kalitta is still hiring. There's no pilot jobs on the career page.

Thanks, Stranger

[skier17]

YEP! Get that resume in!

 

[skypine69]

yep...buddy just got called for an interview next week. the next class is late august...both a classic and a 400 class.

Im a regional guy of about 5 years, and REALLY would love to work for Kilitta Air over any other ACMI, however I don't have an "IN" at Kalitta. I have heard that you have to have someone walk your resume in to get an interview. My question to anyone that knows, would it be looked at in a negative way to maybe call and speak to the chief pilot and bend his ear??? Im pretty sure that if I could at least get an interview I could probably get a position there.

Thanks for the help.

I'm an outsider, but here is one possibility speak with the CP:

Kalitta Air- Minimum 5,000 TT, 2,500 Jet. Preference will be given to those who have heavy experience or glass time.

Whats the schedule like there?

Whats the schedule like?

 

[Whine Lover]

There IS NO SCHEDULE at Kalitta.

If you can't grasp that concept, don't even consider applying.

There are Lines to bid...But, you will not fly them.

You just go out for 17 days and then take 13-14 off.

Simple.

Of the 17 days you are out, plan on working 6-8 of them.

Done.

If you don't put your money on the table you won't be able to play. I would go and talk to them. Let them put a name and face to the resume.

Sounds like you need to take a stress test there buddy...you might be under to much pressure!!

Can you grasp that concept??

Are they serious about jet only time? I only have turboprop time. 1800 TPIC though.

He is exactly correct about the schedule at Kalitta. It is unlike any other airline. I think that is what he was getting at. Several people that have gotten hired here have a hard time adjusting to not knowing where you are going until 24 hours before you are going there.

I didn't detect on bit of stress in his post. It sounded like he was just presenting the facts.

Yep, different than any other airline except Atlas, World, OMNI, Southern Air, etc.

Ah yes, I forgot. I must be more specific for some of you.

Kalitta is very different from non freight airlines (where many of our new hires come from). Other ACMI companies such as those mentioned above are probably very similar to Kalitta.

Yes..

 

[learflyer]

But at least there is a "schedule." 17/13. While ON the road? No. That's okay. I will just have the attitude that they have me for those 17 (or so) days. Then i'll go home and have MY time off.

WHat job fair? Sending resumes seems to be getting me nowhere.

Hmmm...sometimes the written word fails me....I don't see where my post indicates a high stress level on my part (?)

What I DID mean to stress, is the fact that this is about as far from 121 scheduled pax operations as you can get, and some people have trouble dealing with the transition.

So, it behooves one to form a new mindset before even bothering to apply.

Just trying to lay it out plain and simple for folks who are considering the move.

No worries mate, stress levels are well under control...Why just look at THIS:
