Now, if it is the lifestyle that you're questioning, and other things, then, yeah don't leave a good job right now.
Anyhow, I don't know much about Kalitta, but thought I'd chime in on the potential opportunities you would be gaining by going there. I had previously considered going there when things were looking pretty unstable at my current carrier.
Good luck!

I thought about all that. The life style I think I'd be able to cope with. 17 on straight, to me sounds better than 4 on 3 off. That still equals about 17-19 on during the month at my level. Besides, you don't have to worry about figuring your vacation
Also, boxes don't b!tch.What hotel do most of the guys in training use and what's the average cost?

Never said I didn't want to go. I said I'd have to think about it. Is there a problem with needing to think about it?

What ever dude. You have no f*k'n clue where I've been or where I've come from. I've spent many a month living in tent city in PSAB so 17 days is a piece of cake.

Come over to the airplane with FE tombstones, you will like it better than one with an FE. Don't listen to the two high opinionated and outdated pieces of equipment. If you don't like you can quit, no training contract hence the pay your own way for a bit.

When you need something and you can't afford it, you usually go into debt to get it. Like your college degree or that type rating for Southwest. It's called an investment. If having to pay for a hotel matters more to you than the fact that you'll be at Kalitta, then you obviously shouldn't be there. I still think you don't get it based on your responses to me and others.
