Are there any plans in the future for Kalita to get KCM?
How hard is it to credit over 64 hours on reserve/line?
I live in metro Detroit. Can I drive to training every day?

No call yet. If any K insiders here have a suggestion of what more I might be able to do to improve my chances for an interview, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

If you answer the former, you may get hired but hate what you get. If you answer the latter and you do get hired, then you just got a great job.

Whether it is a stepping stone to greater things. Or, a career that you want to keep (BTW, 25+ years and a single digit seniority number), you will still fit in and have fun.

Remember the prime rules of being an airline pilot:
1) Do the least amount of sh#t for the most money.
2) Be smarter than the airplane.
3) Enjoy your job.

K4 is a challenging and interesting place to work. Some days are a blast. Some are endless grief. But, I wouldn't trade the ride for any other job (additional BTW, have turned down majors and some primo foreign carriers to stay here).

Show up to the interview. Be nice. Be smart. Take the stupid test. Answer the questions. Then, bring your best hands and your A Game to the sim. And, be yourself...

Just sayin'
