Is Kalitta still hiring?

[embpic1]

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.

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

Yes..

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.

i got $80 to burn so im gonna check out the job fair. am i just payin $$ to put my resume in a big pile or is it really a good chance to have a chat about the job and get some face time?? im going to knock on kalitta's door, not eagle or skywest!!

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

Can you grasp that concept??

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:

I am tired of hearing from some FNG's "This is not what I expected" etc. Yes 17 days seems a longtime but it goes real fast and the block of time off is a bonus. If you can't handle having an inefficient scheduling department running your life for 17 days, this airline (or other ACMI's) is certainly not for you.

hiring continues, 400 and 200, two new 400's on the way, rumor of two more, busy, go to the job fair, it will help to meet them @ Aero crew Solutions, I think it is in ATL.

 

[spitfire1500]

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.

You would seriously pick Kalitta over Atlas and World??

At least he has some standards. Thank God he hasn't lowered his sights to show interest in Evergreen!

Whats wrong with Kalitta?

I will take it a step further. You would seriously pick Kalitta or World over Atlas. With the current management at World I would place Atlas at the top of that list of three.

haha, well maybe he is considering the upgrades at Kalitta are less than a year, or maybe he lives in Michigan, whatever, it's his interest not yours.

I have to agree in that there are worse places to be than Kalitta. Jobs are so much what you make them to be and it's your own personal career so if it is meeting the expectations of career path who am I to judge.

well said man, nice, yea there are worse places to be, especially furloughed. We are hiring furloughed pilots, which is very good!

ps. and the job isn't always for someone to pick, picking one over the other isn't our decision in the end, as we all know, it is HR, at least here you meet the Asst CP and CP in the interview, no BS, just selecting good pilots.

My sincere apologies to my EZ brethren. I seriously was over-reacting to Spitfires seriously cheap shot at Kalitta, but I forgot that the LCFs moved over to Atlas. I'm sorry that I stepped down to that level.
Seriously, if his opinion is that Kalitta is the least desirable of the three, so be it. Seriously.
