Which one?
what’s your end goal? Family with kids? Do you want purple or brown and already have TPIC? Kalitta is a solid place lots of people like it. The comparison however is night and day. Long international trips on heavies predominately on the back side of the clock or more what I consider normal length trips domestically that give you a little more variety. Neither airline is going anywhere. AS doesn’t have a ton of movement right now overall outside the attrition. Not much mandatory retirement action. I’m sure if you threw your app at AA they’d be interested. They’ve taken RJ FO’s with low time and no PIC. Good luck.
