Kalitta
I've heard through the grapevine for a couple of days now that Kalitta is parking a bunch of airplanes and furloughs are imminent.
Can anyone confirm or deny.
I'll be going back to my happy place now.

We have A/C that are reaching there life limit. Either by cycles or time. The 100's from my understanding will no longer be supported by Boeing after 12/31/2008. I also understand that to operate in the EU after this year 15% of your fleet has to been CAT IV noise compliant (the 400 is) so 9 classics 2 400's 11 into 2 gives you 18%. We are furloughing currently 14 pilots and 16 FE on the street, with more to follow, including myself.

Possibility of 149 furloughs from Kalitta. Both DHL and USPS are running out of EWR until years end. They fill one up and send it out and then move to the next one. I was there three days ago and in the morning we had four and by evening there was one.

Did they lose a major contract or something similar? Got a couple friends over there and hope they (and everyone else) will be all right...
