Not sure how I should feel about being left in the puddle...updated resume sent twice.

Perhaps a resume prep company? If you have competitive qualifications then you will probably get a call. If you don't then you won't.

For example, if your resume lists Airline Captain, TT 5000, BE1900, 500 hours PIC, SIC 2500, single engine piston 2000. Don't expect a call anytime soon.

Perhaps a pilot does have lots of hours in a large aircraft and would be a good fit. If you are not getting calls for interviews, then have somebody with some expertise, look at your resume.

To reiterate what has been said in a slightly different way...

1. If you want a shot, send an updated resume once a month. Likely you are applying at several different places, keep updating those applications as well.

2. If you meet the minimums or are within a few hundred hours and updated resumes show you are on a vector to meeting them there's a better chance you'll get a call. Wide body international experience helps, but is not necessary. There were people with domestic only experience in our new hire class.

3. Kalitta's busiest season is November through January where all qualified crew members are being utilized, even instructors and check airmen. Frequency of interviews and classes may decrease during the busy season. There's another 747 new hire class that starts Oct 9th and is likely filled already, but last minute changes/emergencies could allow a person interviewing in the next couple of weeks to join that class if they are available. There are 767 classes that will continue through the holidays since they are being done by contract for now.

4. With the expansion of both fleets it is a great time to apply. Upgrades to the training department are happening regularly, several changes were coming down the pipe while I was in training.

Old contract, that probably would of got a call...
I’ve seen it far too much at my previous employer, people want to wait for a new contract first, not realizing they lost their chance.
I’d assume 1000TPIC is an absolute minimum base line.

I have probably overlooked it, but can someone point me to the latest interview info for Kalitta please. I understand it changed recently. Thank you.

Are most new hires still going to the 747 or is the 767 program ramping up?

AllGood

The 767 program is ramping up. Interviews continue and 767 classes are being filled.

Can anyone comment on the nature of the 767 flying vs the 747? Can you bid between the the 2 ie 76 FO to 74 FO?

Right now, the 767 is hub domestic flying, and I’ve been told you never break guarantee. With ETOPs everything will change in my opinion, but the 767 guys say that won’t happen anytime soon. Yes, you can bid from 747 to 767 vise versa. I don’t remember how long the seat lock is, but it’s not excessive.

How much of that hub flying would be DHL ? How much would be Amazon flights ? (considering both total number of A/C in for each customer and percentage of aircraft dedicated towards each). Projected growth in hub operation next 1 to 2 years ?
