IAH does SA and Africa. HSV does SA to Europe and Africa. CVG does DHL flying - 747 to the far east and the 767 some far east but mostly domestic. MIA does SA and some Europe. JFK mostly Europe, Africa, and ME.
The recent seniority list has 1142 pilots as of 8/15. In addition, there were 48 ANC 747 NH and 36 CVG 767 NH slots listed. The company does not post vacancy notices. You simply supply them with your preferences and if a vacancy opens for your seniority, you will be awarded the position.
The sizes of the domiciles are listed below with the most junior FO hire date for each one:
ANC 747
CA - 96
FO - 171 (8/15)
CVG 747
CA - 52
FO - 85 (4/15)
CVG 767
CA - 104
FO - 78 (8/15)
HSV 747
CA - 53
FO - 68 (4/15)
IAH 747
CA - 23
FO - 33 (4/14)
JFK 747
CA - 79
FO - 53 (4/13)
JFK 767
CA - 35
FO - 23 (9/14)
LAX 747
CA - 35
FO - 27 (2/15)
MIA 747
CA - 50
FO - 47 (5/14)
PAE 747
CA - 18
FO - 12 (1/15)
Of course, if you have been paying attention to this thread, you'll know that your base has very little to do with where you will be flying...

Brace yourself for an ugly truth, because MAG's Orenstein said it best in an interview in the 90's concerning his company's poor pay and working conditions and the ability to attract pilots when there's lots of hiring going on elsewhere. It went something like this;
"As long as we have tons of people applying and showing up for class, I'm paying too much........"

Well, I haven't been here very long but I don't think management is stupid enough to realize they are losing all their top guys for that reason....
The reason there are thousands of applicants right now is because it's still a helluva lot better than a regional airline! And right now there are thousands of regional pilots looking for jobs.

A quick perusal of the Delta, American, FedEx, UPS boards will show that everyone is up in arms about something. I think the best approach is to find a niche where you enjoy the work and then endeavor to keep adjusting the contract to make it even better.

As a side note this would be atypical for Kalitta to get into a long term agreement.

They just voted their TA down by 86%, so even at mesa, things are turning around...
