Kalitta Interviewing?

[noperf]

In regards to life insurance policy and war zone exclusions etc. I'd recommend reading the policy and getting the facts. My policy was under-written a while back and the only provision about this is in regards to the payment of premiums after disability rider.

I want to work at kalitta but sitting at 3000hrs I don't have the time yet. I wish the ATA guys the best and hope you can get you a few positions. Sorry that you'll have to start all over though Guess I'll be sitting at RAH for awhile.

I hear a bunch of recent newhires got 747-400 class slots. What were their backgrounds? Regional and military?

When do the 400s start operating on the line?

Try 737/57/67 captains. Heard yesterday from Asst. Chief that 4000 is the absolute min TT for apps. and that most new hires are averaging 10,000+ TT with int'l experience. Referred a friend from Aloha with less than 4000 but with time in both the -200 and -700. No dice. My how things have changed in a year.

It's all about timing. For the past couple of years, all that was out there were 4000 hour Regional guys. Good opportunity for them. With the shutdown and immediate furlough and several guys with a sh**load of heavy PIC time, it is a "no brainer" the company can for the first time be a bit picky. Again, in this business......timing!!

Yeah, that completely sucks. I was waiting till the end of the summer when I'd have 1000 TPIC and the was going to apply. Guess I'll rethink that plan.

Better think fast.

Um, yeeeeaaah.

The way things are going, there will be plenty of time to come up with something else.

quality of life

Hi, I am a ExpressJet emb145 Capt.. Wondering what the quality of life is like there at Kalitta Cargo?? I live in Allen Park. Which is about a 30 minute drive from YIP. In fact I use to work for what use to be Kitty Hawk charters, which is now Kalitta Charters 2.

How many days off? Days on? average hours worked a month?? How much can you expect to make there first year?? How long to upgrade??


Thanks,


Christian

Who is Kalitta Cargo?

Kalitta Charters, Kalitta Charters II, Kalitta Air, LLC...who is Kalitta Cargo?

How long to upgrade...really depends on you, doesn't it? Minimum time to be eligible has been averaging a year to a year and a half. The success rate of those who attempt, however, has not been stellar.

17 days on each month...whatever is left of the month off. Quality of life is rather subjective, don't you think? How much can you expect to make? See the pay scales at airlinepilotcentral.com

you might not be aware of it, but 4 airlines went out of biz in the last 2 months.

 

[WmuBronco]

I meant Kalitta Air. The 747 operation. Do you usually take home the min. each month or is guarantee actually exceeded? How many days in a row do you work?? And also how many days off in a row?? I actually did already look at the pay rates at airlinepilotcentral.com


Thanks,


Christian

 

[avbug]

Plan on 17 days at a time, up to 35 days at a time if you work the last half of one month and the first half of the next. Where lines are split, you're gauranteed a minimum of five days off in a row.

Don't count on more than the gaurantee. You might get it, but don't count on it.

you might want to leave the ''Kitty Hawk'' bit out next time.

Thanks captain obvious. You OBVIOUSLY missed the sarcasm and humor of the post.

Guam360: is that why none of the KHA folks that lost their job recently got offered a job at Connie?

 

[avbug]

Did they apply and interview?

Dude, I don't know that. I wasn't here then, sorry for the comment. This was not meant to be political or anything of that nature. I just know it is a sensitive issue here.

take it easy.

Do you travel with a board? I kept one in San Diego. It's still sitting there as a result of our sudden shutdown. PM if you're ever in HNL and want to paddle out. I'll let you have all the waves if you get someone to look at my resume.

hey bro, sorry I missed this one. No I don't, wanted to many times, especially to Iquique, Chile. I flew there all March/April, and the waves are sweet there. Our hotel is right on the water, so instant surf check for dawn patrols. For those two months the Capt. I flew with is a surfer also, living FL, we talked about the waves constantly as we flew down the coast into Chile and Peru.
I currently spend my off time in Brasil, so getting all the waves I can get there. It has been pretty good.

PM for more info

Does anyone have any current info on hiring and class dates at Kalitta? Future plans for the company? Delivery schedule for -400's listed on APC? Thanks
