Nope. But then again we're all a little crazy.

You might want to start with not being the guy who spends his whole day *****ing and complaining about stuff.

Not cool bro. This is a hiring thread and he is just asking if there is something else he could be doing to get a look. That is hardly sitting around and b*tchng all day.

You are right and I apologize, however the comment was not based on his request for information, it was based on previously working with him.

From what I hear, they are still selecting people at the 5000 and above mark. There has been an influx recently of wide body pilots applying. The majority of your time is in the King Air. We have had 3 King Air guys go through in the last few months, but all have had more than 5000 hours. Give it some time and they will eventually get to you. If you are still available then perhaps it will work out for you. Good luck. I waited for 2 years for Atlas to finally call me for an interview. When they did, I had made the decision to stay at K4. Point being, Kalitta may be the drug of choice today, but after the turmoil at Atlas is over they will be back to being the king of the block financially.

OBAP was only a couple of weeks ago so unless he was head and shoulders above all the other resumes then doubtful would get a call so quickly. For some with higher times it's taken a couple of months to get a call.

I waited two months after a job fair, and that was under the old contract. Theres no shortage of people knocking down the door now.
5000tt, and I would assume 1000 TPIC as a minimum, unless military.
