No nothing about the outfit. Have blanked out some names to protect the innocent. Pay rates available @ apc.com.


XXXX:

Please consider the following for your Retired Pilots Communications Network...................

Kalitta Air is currently hiring pilots.

Just a few of the details of note:

They employ "Home Basing," that is your clock starts when they buy you a ticket from YOUR "home airport" to join an airplane or crew somewhere in the world. There is no central base.

Starting position is 747 F/O but upgrade is expected within 12-18 Months. (probably much closer to 12 or less with all the new aircraft coming.

They own 19 747 classics (mostly -200 with -Q and -R Engines). Just signed a deal for (2) 747-400's coming in May of this year and perhaps 5 more within 2 more years. This is on top of a deal for (2) 747-200's signed just days before.

Lots of guys from Cargo 360 pilots have come to Kalitta. More Delta guys being interviewed for the April class right now.

There are 79 crews and they need nearly double that to 120 by the end of the year just to keep up with current flying.

They are 50% +/- scheduled cargo and the rest "ad Hoc" or on call charter.

To check the scheduled runs and typical flying go to www.Kalittaair.com (http://www.Kalittaair.com) and click on schedules.

For example, they serve Newark-Bahrain, daily, Newark-Amsterdam, Santiago-Miami, Bogota-Miami, Hong Kong-Anchorage-Chicago,
Honolulu, Los Angeles, etc.

They hire over age 60, they really like LCA experience and overwater time. Currency is not important and no need to be rated on the 747.
They fully train and type for the operation.

It's not the old Kalitta of the 90's (of AIA and Kitty Hawk fame). That went bust and Kalitta re-bought the certificate back in 2000, purchased two 747's for cash and has never looked back.

It is a class act with a brand new training building, the best classic simulator in the world, top notch instruction and a great flight management department.

They are hiring now for an April class and classes for the rest of 2008.

Contact person is the Chief Pilot, Captain Paul Bishop and the number is (734) 484-0088.

Thanks for getting the word out.
