Cheers. Your buddy is absolutely right. Good dude factor is a thing, you’ll spend 18+ hours a day with the same guys. Also, HR is concerned with how you and your family handle 16 days gone and flying into fun places like Kabul. I knew the exact moment I got the job: when the Chief Pilot asked me how I felt about flying into Afghanistan and I told him that if I get three more punches on my Bagram coffee card I get a free one (former mil). My wife tends to get sick of me at the 14 day point anyway. Whiz quiz day-of interview. All the PRIA paperwork is day-1 of INDOC.

The Compass trainer on latest pilot jobs is identical to the test, not similar, identical. The personality test really comes down to ‘don’t be weird.’ IMHO, ‘never and always’ are usually suspect answers unless your are talking Safety or Integrity.

I hear the sim is a thing again. The 74 flies extremely straightforward, gentleman’s airplane. When I was at initial, I bought an old copy of flight simulator with the 747-400 add on. Worked well when it comes to getting used to the MCP, might be useful.

Most guys got the call same day. I was eating dinner with some of my interview-mates at DTW when all of our phones (thankfully) went off one after another.

Cool things happening at K4, hope to see you here soon...

Getting screwed these days amounts to dead heading on company metal on a day off or carry in day, instead of working the flight. First world, upper middle class problem...

YES THEY DO.



We use Fidelity for our 401 and they offer both.

When the schedule on the 767 hit rock bottom, someone went out and bought a bunch of dynamite, drill, and backhoe. Unbelievable...

No, not really. Meant it with a little bit of sarcasm but couldn’t get the face thing to work.

You’re referring to the new routes starting next week?

Greetings,

Could someone at K4 confirm the hiring requirement of "US Passport"? I assume this is for a security clearance for some of the Mil contracts?

I'm a green card holder but not a US Citizen (Canadian)

Thank you kindly.

Think someone from Mexico or South America asked a similar question earlier in the thread. I’m pretty sure they were told they had to get a US passport and I believe it was due to the DOD flying we do. Could be wrong..
