Kalitta gets thousands of resumes and having a positive attitude about a changing situation will play n your favor. Just an opinion.

I appreciate what you are saying and thank you for your input. Yet I think judging my "attitude" based on one post is a bit much don't you think? You don't know me nor I you. Getting the interview cancelled for anyone in the 10/9 group sucked, period. Are we supposed to be happy we missed the last full new-hire 2019 class?

I'm thrilled to have even been called at all by K4 and am very hopeful I'll interview in 2020 with the rest of the 10/9 club. If the decision to cancel the interviews was the best thing for Kalitta then it is what it is. While I bare no malice towards the company I've always wanted to work for that doesn't make it sting any less ya know. I hope everyone hangs in there for the re-schedule, I certainly will.

Being disappointed is normal human nature and if you were in the same boat you'd probably think it sucks too. Has nothing to do with one's "attitude."

I don't think he was knocking your attitude, no need to jump on the defense... Was more of an observation of being able to showcase a positive attitude in an unexpected unpleasant change to the plan... Because if you can't adjust to changes in the plan this isn't the plane for anyone to be it will drive you mad

So a person’s correct response to a cancelled interview is... happiness? Apathy? Heck, if a person wasn’t disappointed I would wonder if they are a good fit.

CP was promoted to director of ops. Director of Training left for another company. Can’t say what happened on the mx side.

Basically we need to reorganize to grow, so that’s what’s happening.

What Locke wrote. I think the changes are good and necessary for growth. The CP promoted to DO is pretty much universally respected. The little interaction I had with him he was a pilot’s CP.

I don’t think anybody is suggesting that we would not all have those feelings. The problem starts when you try to convey emotion on an unemotional platform such as this. It doesn’t come across the same to all people.
