Kalitta in Khabarovsk

[propsarebest]

Seems like UPS didn't make stop in their -200's? Or did they?

On average, UPS freight will bulk out the plane before it is at max ZFW.

We can get ~230K on a HKG-NGO-ANC flight. When we fly for UPS, the airplane is full at ~69-70K.

Wow, big difference. What type of background to Kalitta pilots have? Hours, etc?

 

[Captain Oveur]

Cool....sounds more interesting anyway than
stopping for fuel in Oklahoma City on the way
from El Paso to Detroit. I'm jealous, Kalitta guys

Side note on Kalitta, airlinepilotcentral says they are looking for 4000TT, is this accurate? I couldn't find anything on their website about pilot employment.

That is acurate!

1500TT is the mins per the contract, not 4000. There are several people who have been hired with less, myself included.

They haven't done that in a while. It is pretty much 4000 to go right into the right seat. But, it doesn't hurt to apply. Every now and then there is a "sh$# hot" 1500 hour Chuck Yeager future 747 pilot that walks through the door!

I have beent told that since the new pay rates came out, they have been seeing resumes with higher time and more experience.

Training pay/length

I read that pay during training is $600/week. So, typically how long from start date to IOE completion? Has Kalitta started paying for hotels during training?

Ground school 5 weeks, SIM's 3 weeks. They usually split the class up, half go right to SIM's after GS, the other half wait 3 weeks. IOE depends on the student, some get it done in about 40 hours or so, some a bit longer. Contract says you pay for hotel while in training. At one time they were picking up the hotel during SIM's, not sure about now.

Yes, hotel paid for during sim!
about 4 of us finished our IOE this month on the same day, that was about 3.5 months start to finish of IOE.

good luck!
