Pumped I’m being considered.
I always had much respect for the flying you guys do. When we were “too good” for some of the stuff back in the day. K4 was like. We’ll take that. And grabbed those deals and made some $$
I think you guys have a hustlers spirit. When the next downturn hits, there will still be freight to haul and I’m sure K4 will get their fair share.
Would like to be part of it

If you don't get what you want, the company is pretty good working with you to adjust. This place really has nothing in common with the regionals way of doing things.

Schedules vary monthly, next month had slim pickings for second half.

I am a very recently upgraded E145 captain, and everything I have read and ‘soul searched’ lends me to believe that Kalitta would be a great fit for me and my family. My concern is that I am very low time, and I fear that by the time I am competitive from an hours perspective, I will have missed the boat as it seems the pilot group is young and attrition is minimal.
I would apply, but I don’t yet have 500 jet PIC, nor was I military trained - I of course don’t want to be deceitful on my application.

ABX is frozen as you say.
Delta has no A plan
United has no A plan
A retirement plan is a plan that sends you a check or direct deposit on a scheduled basis. Like a PERs system.

Defined benefit plans also did very poorly but those withdrawing were often protected from this down turn although not in every case. Just ask the many workers (including airline employees), who saw their retirements vaporized. Many of the public sector retirement plans are also in danger as the outlays can not keep up with tax receipts. Essentially they are public sector Ponzi schemes.
