Actually, a first class medical is always a first class medical, however after 6 months, you can only exercise the privileges of a Comm pilot and after one year, you can only exercise the privileges of a private pilot.

I have an interview June 10th, and I just assumed it was for an FO position. I had no idea that new hires still occasionally go to the SO seat. Any thoughts on this? Of course I will ask at the interview which seat it's for, but can it change once you get to groundschool?

Thanks for any info

Propjob,


They told me when they offered the position. It looks like you have the time for the right seat. Do you have an FE ticket? Good luck!

 

[propjob27]

No, I dont have an FE ticket or an FE written (fortunately!)

Hey propjob,

If I had to guess, you will be interviewing for a FO position. It seems that they try to hire PFEs, then if you have really low time, you will interview for a SO position. By looking at your profile, having 757 time and your hours, you should get a FO interview. In talking to current Kalitta guys, they are really short of FOs. Upward movement doesn't seem like a problem. Good luck on the interview. It is truly one of the most laid back experiences that I have EVER had, and flying the sim is a piece of cake. The 747 flies like a dream (if the real ac flies like the sim, I won't be disappointed!) No curveballs either. Very straight forward. PM if you have any questions. Good luck!

So what kinda time qualifies you for the FO or SO slots?

 

[The Clash]

Vspeeds,

I'm not sure what the exact mins are. However, looking at your profile, you are right in the same quals that I have, and they interviewed me for a FO slot. That's about all I know.

Do you guys have ID-90 privileges with other airlines? Not a big deal..just curious.

 

[chacka]

How about the CASS system? Is Kalitta on board with that? Who can you jumpseat with these days?

 

[OrionFE]

CASS is suppose to be in-work. We can jumpseat with several including most mainline carriers. American is still holding out even though we have a few of their furloughees working here. Don't know why. We are all on the same sinking ship, just different life boats.......

 

[GittinFatter]

We do have many jumpseat agreements, but when CASS really gets up and going and everyone is on board, I think there will be no jumpseats unless you are in the CASS system. And when we sign our new contract, (hopefully soon), we will be home based and not need to jumpseat. The company does not need us to jumpseat if we are home based, so they don't want to incur the expense of getting us in.

The so pay scale is ridiculously low. Be aware that you will not get a decent scale until you make fo, or it may be addressed in the new contract. Check out airline pilot central for the pay scales.
