135 sked is 15 on/6 off. Don't count on getting DOV only, they spread it around on a rotation with the crews between cargo charter and DOV, you'll probably start in the Lear first anyways. Falcons in good shape, most aren't RVSM but IMHO Dover will be cut back soon or gone completely the way it is now. Thankfully it isn't as busy as it used to be out there.

I took it very seriously for the 3 years I was out there doing it and still do even though it's been nearly 5 since I left it. I will always remember the cold touch of the dog tags as I confirmed the order we took the guys, the feel of the flag draped over each one of those caskets I touched as I brought them off the aircraft, I'll remember the faces of every widow and weeping parent I faced when I had no words for them after they thanked me for getting their loved one home. They paid the ultimate price and I will forever be thankful to them for their sacrifices they made. It wasn't just flying a Falcon off an AFB, it was the most important and meaningful thing I thought I would ever do in my career and that was the attitude I went into it with.

I really hope the crews have a louder voice for safety now that 1224 is coming on property.

Thanks for the Dover information.

Got an email from Kalitta saying I have been enrolled in a Pilot Knowledge Assessment Test. Any recommendations on what to study? Thanks in advance.

When I did it less than a year ago, I believe it was pretty similar to an instrument written. Maybe a little of part 91 and 135 thrown in.

Thanks for the heads up

Anyone willing to answer some more questions about Kalitta?

Do they have a training contract for new hires?
Do they have mil leave for reservist/guardsmen?
How long is training?
About how many hours per year?
Are you on the road 15 days straight?

Sorry for all the questions, new to this.

What kind is charters are they planning for the 737's?

727CA

AdHoc charters. On call 24 hours a day, 6 days a week. Have to get crashpad & get yourself to/from work. Much better 737 jobs out there.
