Connie just picked up another -400

[embpic1]

Well I just heard that Connie bought another 400. That makes 4 now. He is looking at getting 3-4 more. JAL is having a fire sale and Connie is cleaning up.

are any 100's flying anywhere ?

Connie(368/369) has 1 doing LAX-HNL everyday. Occasionally you will see them doing other stuff off the east coast. Click on this once in a while and you can see some out there http://flightaware.com/live/aircrafttype/B741

Whats the schedule like at Kalitta?

Right now it is the busiest I have ever seen it. Most places is min rest. We are way understaffed right now. The guys here are making great money. I have flown 44 hours in the last 6 days.

The schedules are fluid. Many changes every day as scheduling tries to cover trips. They really need to call everyone back and start hiring. I don't think we can keep this up indefinitely.

Rumor has it that all furloughed FO's are being recalled, but only 4 FE's.
Originally they were allowing guys to bypass, but now since they want to bring back everyone, bypass probably won't be available, unless someone want's to roll the dice for a later class and have the other guys gain seniority.
I see pilot hiring in the near future.

If it keeps up like this I think we'll see more birds come out of Oscoda and some more -400's sooner rather than later. It's really not worth taking any clothes for layovers as your not there long enough to enjoy it!

 

[belchfire]

Heard that all of the FO's are recalled from furlough...

 

[lionflyer]

It's a fact! All FO's recalled. Only 4 FE's though.

 

[hkgorbust]

Great news. Look for hiring soon.

17 work days per month. That gives you 13 or 14 days off depending on the month (31 vs 30)

Most of the time the 17 days are consecutive. There are some split lines out there. For example you might work the first 7 days, had 14 off, and then work the remaining 10.

are the FE's, PFE's or are will they able to become FO's?

The can become FOs. Many are trying just that. I would say that about half don't make it however. Many guys build their time in 172s and maybe some light twins. It is a big move to the whale from that.

Yea no kidding, but nice that they have the chance.

When they are accepting/looking for resumes does it normally get listed on the website?

I'm sure it will be very competitive when they start to hire.

There are several Captains at Kalitta that have done just that!
