Schoolhouse News:

C.P. came in and told everyone to RELAX.

K4 WILL continue to hire over the year, flying is at or near record levels, new airplanes WILL be put on line....They just needed to balance out crews for now, hence they are emphasizing 400 classes for a bit as opposed to 200.

YKW

Curious....why did they tell scheduled new hires to stay at their current job if they had one?
 
From someone with military log experience:

Kalitta isn't going anywhere. Neither is NAA, World or Omni. The military doesn't have enough organic airlift to come close to what they need to move the troops and cargo worldwide.


Organic Airlift??? Is this airlift that hasn't been genetically enhanced?

True but they will not need as much as they have over the last 5/10 years.

It would seem that they did plan on running the 2 classes (400 & 200), the 400 is short handed especially with the arrival of the new bird and seems another one is a done deal also. The 200 , although not at the wanted crew numbers have 4 birds in MX (this happens every year in January for C checks etc), plus the slow down from China and post Christmas rush. The 200's slow right down, 400's not so much with their current contract needs.

It was felt that they should hold back on the 200 new hires for now. They were just going to tell the 200 poolies "no class sorry". Connie stepped in and said IF they can't get their old job back due to resigning let them attend class don't leave them in the cold at short notice. The 200 guy's were given the chance to go back to old job or come anyways to class.
 
It will only get worse. The 200 flying in the ME is starting to get crazy busy - hello pay check :beer:

just came back from the desert grand tour again amen to that !!!
 
I hope it is going to be busy.. I am waiting on my Captain OE.. I was told it would be a week or 2 more due to no Check to fly with.. I am so ready to get back at it.. As for Kalitta making it, I have no doubt that we will be here for years to come...
