The next group or possibly equal to the 777 typed people are previous Kalitta Air employees who left on good terms and are less than a year separated from the company and flew the 747 or 767. This is followed by previous employees who left longer than a year ago. After that you are probably going to need at least one internal recommendation to get a call. As stated above, we are not hiring thousands or even hundreds and they literally have hundreds or maybe thousands of people wanting jobs. It is most likely going to take something from the above list to catch the eye of the very busy couple of humans looking through that stack of resumes. On the other hand, they don't charge an application fee so what does it hurt to apply. One never knows. Perhaps your name sounds familiar to someone and they take a look. Maybe someplace you worked in the past is familiar, or your address. Who knows what may pop out at the person sorting resumes. That's the beauty of a human doing the selection as opposed to a soulless computer algorithm. Good Luck. I've been there and I know how tough this current situation can be.
