A few months ago, K4 called multiple times to set up an interview. I turned them down because of all the negative info on here. I'm glad I did. I've also had extensive experience with the teamsters and the NMB, good luck K4 brothers and sisters. I hope things work out well.

"According to the survey, nearly 90 percent of pilots said they would not recommend Kalitta Air to other pilots as a good place to build a career."

That says it all.

Honestly and with all due respect to those affected, but when has Kalitta EVER been a career to those who aren't inescapable inhabitants of the Willow Run vortex?

Not usually a career but a lot of folks thought a 747 type (which is totally worthless BTW) and a quick upgrade (back in the day) made it worth the quick stepping stone.

Not only is it not any of the above but it's a terrible place that can ruin your career or worse. Wherever you are, stay there and wait for a call from the top of your list. Unless you have a VERY tarnished record and can't go anywhere else just stay away.

See my post from a few days ago about how they treat someone who's been a great employee for them...then rethink your decision.
