Droopy, congrats. If you don't mind, what kind of mil background did you have? How many hours in the Falcon? Trying to figure out if I'm competitive enough to drop an app as a mil guy....

It takes about 5 minutes to fill out the app....why dont you do so and let them decide if you are competitive?

Kb, like myoface said, I recommend filling out apps anywhere you are interested in working and let them say no. I honestly did not expect a call from Kalitta as I have zero heavy time (and I was the only one in my interview group without.) however, they did call.

That being said, I have just under 1500 hours in the viper, a little over 300 CRJ-700 hours, and about 800 GA hours. I also have a couple thousand UAV hours that are good for discussion fodder and not much else...

Well Of course they will. Just not until the supply of pilots that have the higher time runs out. Quite a few of our captains were flying 1900's at Lakes and CRJ's at Mesa before coming to Connie World. BTW they are excellent pilots and excellent Captains. I have seen us hire 15 to 20 thousand hour airline guys who didn't last very long as ACMI is as different an animal as Corporate is to 121 scheduled pax flying.

That was all prior to our two crashes and Colgan crash of 2009. Insurance has demanded higher mins, I don't see them changing, there are 100's of pilots with more than 5000 hrs, sorry Scubabri, I know you have been on here for a while....
