Stay the HELL away from Kalitta Air, LLC.....
I would caution anyone about going to Kalitta. Like most of the other posts in this thread, the reasons are legion for avoiding Kalitta like the clap. (at least you can cure the clap w/some good antibiotics) But in all seriousness, the stalled contract negotiations, the animosity between management and the pilot group, rogue check airmen who pride themselves on taking people down for minimal items, the low morale among the pilots on the line, and just the over all toxic environment it is to work in are just the beginning in a long list of reasons to stay away from Kalitta. You are essentially playing 'resume roulette' with your record and career if you go there. To be clear, there are a lot of great guys there, and with a few tweaks, it could actually be a decent place to be. Unfortunately, there are deep, systemic flaws with that company that really emanate from the top all the way down. Of course you could tell this to them until you're blue in the face, but they couldn't care less. As long as there are suckers out there willing to be slave labor for the old man, he will continue to make his billions off the backs of the underpaid and under appreciated.
