Whats the word on Kalitta Air hiring?

We just had a bid close for six 400 FOs. No eligible people bid it so I would think they will be filled with new hires. We also just had a bid come out for six FEs. Those will also most likely be filled with new hires.

Well I thought I was talking to some guys "in the know" back in October but apparently I wasn't. You guys would know more than my second or third hand knowledge.

Just about everybody considers Atlas to have a better contract than us. I don't think anyone thinks it's so much better that they would give up Captain pay to go to the bottom of the Atlas seniority list to start again as a junior F.O.
I have heard from a friend in Atlas ground school a few months ago that management was saying that every single person on the property would make captain within two years. If I was sitting in ground school at Atlas I would happily believe that and wouldn't even question the person telling me . However sitting over here I have my doubts. That would be an insane amount of growth in two years!

I love how rumors change. The latest class was told captain is possible in three years. Yes, massive growth. It would have to be due to a light twin coming on the property.

For you guys that have been there a while. When you upgrade, do you stay at the current year of service pay? Or do you slide down to first year capt pay?

Stay with current year pay.

Sorry guys, this was in reference to the post by Xfr8dog talking about upgrades at Atlas Air.

From what I have heard, a new hire has to get himself to YIP for school and pay for a hotel during school, 6-7 weeks I assume. Is per diem paid during school in YIP and what can one expect for hotel costs?
