I’m sure this has been answered already but it’s tough to read through 250 pages. So my apologies in advance.

Does Kalitta allow pilots to live OCONUS?

Lucky for you, very first post of this thread.

Thank you. I’ll go sit in the corner and hide now

for anyone else watching this thread
the hiring update is updated on or about the 1st of each month....usually

the most recent update is on page 230

All else being equal, how much of a hurdle will it be to get a call with just a 2 yr degree?

It isn’t required, but most of your competition has at least a 4 year degree. If you have the same exact experience as a guy with a 4 year, he will probably get the call ahead of you. It’s all about timing though, so apply and see what happens.

Got hired in April with an internal rec, and while I have the credits for it I don't even have a two year presently (doing an aviation BS through UVU online currently and a little over three years in)

I'd rate a personal rec and having good stick and rudder skills above a college degree.
This airline has zero tolerance or respect for people that can't fly like a boss.

hmmm. You must not have had the opportunity to sit sim support last fall.......
