Hi all,

I have a friend going to work with you guys, he’s not on here so I told him I’d ask. What are the schedules like? Is the a difference between the 74 and the 77?

 

Going to work there and he doesn’t know the schedule? Generally 16 days on. Usually in one block but not always.

 

it’s not that easy to find info on. That’s why he asked me to do this thanks for answering

 

If he’s gonna work there…..I’d assume he already interviewed, right?

 

Anyone with a computer can read the threads here , no account required as we all know...same for the info pages on each company (although Kalitta info is way out of date)

 

Well, he’ll fit in great here. I never know my real schedule as I’m going to work here.

 

That's why pretty much half of the pilot group has left.

 

So, the company can make you work up to 16 days, and travel to work on day 0 is possible. Lines are bid for, and there are lines that only work 12 to 16 days, plus travel to work. Most work 1 straight block but there are splits as well. The lines have trips with cities on them but don’t count on working that specific trip. We basically Bid days off and guarantee.

Right now, the 74 is relatively busy. It has a better variety of destinations: Asia, South America, Europe. It flies to more cities because of the variety of contracts and ad hoc work.

The 777 flies to Nagoya, Singapore, Hong Kong, Brussels, rarely Sydney, plus domestic and that’s it for now. The triple pilots are getting low hours now, but when the planes show up next year (Trust me bro) the variety and the hours should improve.

let me know if you have any other questions. I like it here.

 

Thanks for the info…how far from the US is it feasible to commute from? Would it be possible to live in Thailand for instance?

 

Rarely Sydney?? Are you kidding me? That is a normal stop for the 777 More like rarely Brussels or rarely Melborne.
