What I am sure of, this isn't a typical pilot started rumor.

The letter we all got said we'd be called and alluded to not having to re-apply or be re-selected...is that going to be accurate in your opinion?
I would contact HR and ask.

Nobody here can tell you that unless they go and ask HR. Perhaps someone will and report back. Absent that I would include the letter in an email and state something like, per your previous email I am writing to schedule my interview.

I will say this about the people who got interviews cancelled. A lot of us here heard about it and aren't happy they did that.They had their reasons but still. I know several people will be checking in with the company for you guys.

Thank you.

Something that struck me as odd about the whole affair is why cancel interviews at all? I can certainly understand delaying starting full new hire classes in lieu of 777 transitions, but if you're gonna still run full classes after new year why not continue interviews then put anyone selected into a class pool for then vs. shutting down the interviews entirely?

In the current job market seems to me this move will cause Kalitta to loose several of the cancellees I'd guess. They'll either get hired elsewhere or won't want to experience a repeat of the nut kicking.

Things are in flux at the moment. We are down to an interim CP and interim director of training. I don’t think interviews are the priority until things settle down a little.

I def wouldn't look at it as a nut kicking unless you had to rescind a two weeks notice, looks they had a shot at getting some current and qualified guys in on the 777. With that being said there are other opportunities on the table for K4 that were being hamstrung due to the 777 manning, so I think this may be better for those that are awaiting entry as the biz opportunities on the other fleets that weren't attainable until the 4th qtr can now be more realistically looked at. Kalitta gets thousands of resumes and having a positive attitude about a changing situation will play n your favor. Just an opinion.
