Kalitta Interviewing?

Save some money if your going to KA you will be on training pay for a long time. They have 120 days from your pt/pc to finish your IOE and they will use it all. That means training pay until IOE is complete.

Really?!? The voice of experience or conjecture?

I was finished in a month with IOE after my PC. So were most of the guys I knew. Some had a few weeks off between their PC and going out on IOE, waiting for a Check Airman to be free. Some guys needed a longer time out to get the hang of the airplane. However, I have seen no instances of the company taking advantage of guys on training pay, contrary to the rumors out there.

What a bunch of BS. I finished IOE in 9 days and know several others in my class were done in less than 2 weeks. It all depends on check airman availability and of course how long you can hang at Sticky Fingers.

 

[Birddog]

From starting ground school to finishing IOE took me about 87 days. I had to dig into savings to pay for the hotel during ground school, and the rest of my life didn't get any cheaper, but I knew that going in.

 

[1031Guy]

I still would like to work there regardless...

Just curious, but how long is the OE at K4 in terms of hours? I've heard that some ACMI carriers can be pretty high. I believe though that it's often the ones using 2 person aircraft and the fact that you might not get quite enough landings in if you are a IRO/RFO/Augmented/Heavy crew member on some legs.

I'm sure with the fleet being 100/200's (for now) it's probably not too much of an issue.

 

[Birddog]

Mine ran about 70 hours. Much of that was driven by the need for landings and having to do both an Atlantic and a Pacific crossing. I was told that wasn't too much worse that typical. They may have been trying to be polite though.

GP is in DEN! Me thinks the 400?

GP in DEN teaching 400 class?, he is a classic guy...


what IOE....?

 

[unwashed]

He is or was a classic guy, we where told that he was in DEN on Company Business. FTI is a part 142 school training in the 400.

GP is a classic guy, but he's auditing the 400 GS in DEN. (Would make him a switch hitter?)
Training is being done by PanAm, also a 142 school.
Word is that the training will move in-house at the earliest opportunity.

 

[Captain Morgan]

If you have 4000 tt and 1500 jet time sic is it possible to get hired without any turbine pic?

 

[Guam360]

I hope so, I know guys who were hired with less. apply.

It's the voice of experience. Almost two months until my first OE flight. Close to three months since PC still haven't been out for second flight. It could be just how the cards fell. Alot of OE guys are going to the 400 so who knows.

I think three IOE LCA's went to the 400 on April 1. I expect it will take almost five months to go from day one of class until the completion of IOE. I could have be some where else waiting to be unemployed. I am happy with the decision and will go when I get called.

 

[RJslim]

Not trying to discourage anyone from applying or coming to work here I think it's a good place. I just wanted those who do and those who will to have a little money saved because it may take a little longer to get on the line. Especially now with some of the OE CA's transition to the 400. Good luck to all and godspeed.

Any help on what to do to get a job there besides sending them your resume?
