Moral of the story: don’t believe you’ve got an “in” until you’ve got a CJO in writing. You can start more seriously debating about leaving your current job after you’ve got options.
Agree on all the above.
I’m looking at Kalitta, not because I have a recommendation, but because it really suits me well. My reasoning, in part for eyeing Kalitta:
* I am the full time caretaker to a disabled individual. The extended time off all at once is very attractive for that situation
* I love long distance, international flying. Much prefer a ten hour leg over a two hour leg.
* Asia and the Middle East are two places which I really enjoy.
* I am willing to sacrifice some things to be flying long haul, international today rather than having to wait 10-20 years.
To me, all the items above point towards seriously looking towards Kalitta. Agree? Disagree?
As mentioned, I’m new to exploring 121. I appreciate and need all the guidance offered.
