I think that there are quite a few posts as of late to research. If you spend much time on the message boards you'll find that most people do not like to rewrite information over and over. They trust you'll do your homework with the search function before asking to many questions. As far as I know Kalitta Air will be hiring for at least the next year. Most likely it will continue well into the future. Connie is continuing to do what he does best.. and that is finding new markets, while buying airplanes at very good prices. If you are really interested in flying the 747 then continue to update your resume once a month. And I've been told that the job fairs by Air Inc. are also a good way of making personal contact. Good luck to you in your search.. Also, I would not use the word Dumbo when relating to the 747. Just a thought, but it could be taken as a bit offensive to some! Again, good luck!
