Kalitta Air (K4) Information

Pretty much what Palm said. Only thing I’d add is try and have your CBT’s finished the first week you get them. I’m not saying to just click through aimlessly, but there’s enough gouge to get you through. Form a study group of at least 4-5 and get together everyday and talk systems and work on flows. We had a full size cockpit “built” in my room out of pvc pipe and styrofoam and we sat in front of it for hours every day running flows and quizzing each other on systems. That should be your week 2.
Also, make friends with guys in the class ahead of you. They’ll pass along “important info” of how things are going and what needs to be focused on at the time (aka, “the gouge”).
Ask questions, put forth the effort, have a good attitude, and you won’t have issues. Most of the “problem” instructors in the training department have departed. It’s mostly a good group of guys. I’m definitely not saying it will be easy, but if I can get through it, any window licker can.

Well, things are about to get real interesting here at K4. Just came down from CEO and COO that all employees must take the DICtator mandated shot by December 8th or go unpaid leave, IF you get approved for religious or medical exemption. As of last count from the DO/CP office, the # of pilots with the shot was only 42% of the pilot group. Those that refuse to take the shot are adamant, at least the ones I talked to, that the risks are not worth it… including myself. Not sure how they think this place will run, even if they get half of the 58% left to take it, when we are constantly short staffed with all the hiring we been doing all year.
Guess I wont have to worry about bidding Christmas off.

Q: Will the Company validate all vaccination cards?
A: Yes. The company will cross-reference vaccination cards with local health departments. The FBI categorizes the unauthorized use of an official government agency's seal such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as a crime. Citing this as an act that could be punishable under Title 18 United States Code, Section 1017, other applicable laws, and could carry a fine and a maximum of 5 years in prison.

2. If the company cared about their financial situation.. they would not force their employees to take a vaccine that is not long-term proven yet.. they would instead push back again what it quickly becoming a dictatorship government
3. I have taken the vaccine.. but only because I had to in order to go to my own grandfathers funeral (again fascist NY policies)
4. Suggesting someone falsify medical record is quite unethical.. good thing you’re retired.

Man, I feel sorry for people with Stockholm syndrome like you, and every time you come on here spouting out more nonsense, I thank the higher powers that nobody a K4 has to deal with you in the sim or cockpit anymore. Go get your booster shot, have a corona and leave the active K4 warriors in peace please.

Ok so taking the vaccine does not prevent you from getting COVID-19. However, considering where you may land up doing ACMI flying isn't it much riskier to be unvaccinated and to get COVID while on a two-week BFE rotation? Medical care can vary significantly at some locations as you all know. Just saying.

To be clear, the president is the only person putting Kalitta and many other companies in dire financial straits.
