How do you get noticed by the company?
Do single seat fighter types get considered?
Are they good with National Guard time off?
It's never too early to prepare as far as I'm concerned. Anyone willing to PM me the interview gouge would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

- Single seat: plenty of us here, though it seems we're outnumbered by the heavy types.
- good with ANG; though we don't have the bandwidth of a DL or AA to give Carte Blanche. It's a much bigger impact to our bottom line when you, 1 of 450 guys on the line (or 1 of 260 74FOs) drops orders, vice 1 of 14k elsewhere, hence they're a little more sensitive to the schedule impact. Other than that, AFTPs on your 14 off: go bananas; Mandatory UTA, sure, no problem; etc.

Very excited to interview at Kalitta. It's been a long time goal of mine to fly heavys and the best part.....cargo. I've been studying the gouges and reading "Ace the Technical Pilot Interview". Is there anything else? Do most people interview in suits or Blazer and slacks?

The class splits in two, half do the personality/compass (about 2 hrs) and half do the HR. Everyone thinks they fail the math so don’t worry. You swap halfway.
For the compass test I used the trainer on latest-pilot-jobs. It is near identical to the test K4 uses. Not “similar to,” near identical. I did the 30 day access.
Big question everyone gets is on the 16/14 schedule, can the family hang with it, etc. My wife asked if I ‘had’ to be home 14 whole days...🙄
Connie wants to hire 100+ by January so there is no better time. We had 12/16 hired and most everyone got the call in the Airport on the way home.
Good Luck!

Is being a US citizen a definite requirement? I’m a green card holder and former UK military (although flown USAF aircraft) and currently in the regionals. Kalitta seems ideal but is the citizenship requirement a stopper?
