Kalitta Furlough

The rumor around the crew room in CVG is that Kalitta got a contract for 4 more 747s for DHL.

Stop teasing!! I will believe it when I see them in our colors.

May not necessarily mean more airplanes, as we are only contracted for two with DHL at the present, but it would be nice to see more. Chief Pilot said the otherday, the old man is looking everyday and has frequent closed door meetings with people??

Time will tell if the old man can get them

How come I haven't seen any K4 74's in EWR for a while?

K4 doesnt operate in EWR anymore, the post office pulled the facility out of there, so all the flights go out of JFK.

Thanks for answering the question. Any news on when they might recall the furloughed guys?

 

[skypine69]

Judging by the number of guys I have heard leaving for UAL in the next few months it will be soon. Assuming any of them want to come back. And unless they park more planes there will have to be hiring soon as well.

How many classics are left? How many guys still on furlough? Is PW still the CP? I used to know some guys there but some have been furloughed and found other jobs so they don't have current info, others have up and vanished and I haven't heard back from them in a looooong time. I still would like to work there, call me crazy.

5-7 classics still flying regularly. 7 guys on furlough only 2-3 willing to come back apparently. PW is still CP. Attrition's been steady at about 3-4 per month. I won't be suprised if K4 is hiring by spring.

Kewl thanks for the info
