I would like to add one more item to this list.
Evidentially with the new ACARS software update, as soon as the last engine is shutdown the system blocks us in, it doesn’t matter when a door is opened. The deceiving part is you will not see this until they open a door, but when you look at the time on the clock it doesn’t match the ACARS time. Of course, there was nothing that came out to inform the flight crews about this new system, so let’s review what we don’t get paid for. We don’t get paid when we start engines in the blocks, we don’t get paid when we de-ice in the blocks, we don’t get paid when we sit on the ground waiting to be loaded which can take up to six hours, and now our pay stops as soon as we block in. Never mind we are still responsible for the aircraft and have not yet finished running checklists. It is now common to put in a 20-hour duty day and only be paid for eleven hours. Needless to say, we were all surprised and upset about this new development, and it is just one more slap in the face.
Might I suggest that if you are contemplating coming here, understand our contract does nothing to protect us. Our union leadership sold us a bill of goods with a promise to resolve the outstanding issues via MOU. Those of us that have been around for a while understood this was nonsense, but unfortunately enough people believed what they were told and blindly followed their advice.

I'm having trouble posting on these forums, so asking my question here.
I applied to Kalitta back in May 2021, but haven't heard anything. Also, it seems there is no way to update my information/hours/etc. on the ADP website. Is there a way to do so? Also, are they actually hiring right now?
Thanks!

While it's possible to be "lost" in the system it's also possible that your credentials are not competitive at the moment for whatever reason. Do update and keep at it. As far as updating maybe some here from K4 can give you some info on that score. Don't expect to hear back just because you applied.
If you look at recent posts, K4 is indeed interviewing and hiring. As far as trouble posting? Not sure what the problem is since you just posted this question?

Not at K4 but I will say that every airline has its own algorithm in shortlisting applicants. For the prospective applicant, it's not always fair and just but that's just the way it is. A type-rated guy with time in type gets overlooked while someone else with lesser qualifications on paper gets the nod. We all know of these scenarios.

I'm not sure how to update the app, but hopefully someone internal can chime in. Would I need to create a new profile/app?
I visited Kalitta's maintenence center in Oscoda and was very interested in the organization (though I was not in a position to ask for an internal rec).
As for posting, I initially wanted to create a new thread (this is what I had issues with), but I can post replies. Not trying to hijack the thread, but apparently this is all I can do right now.

I have the same problem- I *think* I’m updating my app but it still says it was last updated when I originally applied (2 years ago) .. so I have no idea if they’re seeing the new app/resume or the old one ?

Are you guys talking about updating your profile? When I log into the workforce.adp website. In the “my applications” section I see most of my applications, but I can’t adjust, update or manipulate the applications. I can go to “my profile” and renew the attached resume, change phone and address, preferences, etc. Am I looking at the wrong place?
