Who's starting to hire?

I'm looking at doing some ACMI flying. I've been interested in it for a while and not too sure about the stability of where I currently fly. I think ACMI would be a good move for my overall career and I don't mind traveling. Anyone know who's looking to hire?

5,500TT with about 3500 SIC jet 121 (ERJ), 350 twin T pic(part 91), and a longing to get out of here. All ratings are FAA. Any ideas? I'm looking to make a move and very serious about it.

Then again if you want to work for a first class outfit wait a little bit longer and try FedEx, but you better know someone to get an interview

Evergreen is very short of crews. Kalitta is hiring, but most of those being hired have substantial experience. Atlas is advertising.

Lufthansa Cargo is hiring, so is Aerologic and as far as i know Air Cargo Germany is still in the process of selecting a few bums for their seats.

For LH Cargo as well as for Aerologic you need a JAR FCL and to be fluent in german. Both do scheduled flights anyway and no ACMI.

I only have FAA ratings. So that's kind of an issue but thanks for the advice guys!

H!

Atlas is planning on resuming hiring (lots of it) in Mar/Apr of 2011. Centurion (KMIA MD-11s, planning on 747.400s) will start hiring a lot in Nov, 2010. Evergreen is hiring a lot....easier to get into than Kalitta. Southern (747-200s, -777s) is hiring. World should be hiring soon. National (in KYIP) is hiring, but I think experienced only.

SWA/AirTran will begin hiring again soon. Spirit just recalled all their pilots and will need new hires shortly. I think CAL/UAL will begin hiring as soon as their merger is organized.

Spirit is advertising now.

SWA has started re-interviewing poolies.

An FO at a friend's regional just got hired at Omni.

My app is in at about a half-dozen ACMI carriers. Trying to pull some strings to get a phone call...

Is it likely any cargo operators will recruit less experienced pilots with JAA licenses soon?

Interested in joining a cargo operator

Great news! Applied at Atlas and a few other ACMI carriers...What are the numbers Atlas and World are looking to hire in 2011? Im currently flying for Qatar on the 320 (3500TT, 2700 turbine,121 and foreign experience) is this competetive?

Hi!

How much Jet PIC? Turboprop PIC? Heavy time? Glass time?

Your other numbers look OK...definitely meet the mins and good idea to apply if u r interested. And, so you know, Atlas is expanding their passenger flying as much as possible.

I find it amazing that you have been here what 2 months? And you are a G.D. expert on what is going on at Atlas. I have been here over 12 years and I can tell you for a fact, that what you hear in the crystal palace is mostly B.S. and rumors only.

Mellow out, you are a FNG here!

Just looking for info guys and girls, not really interested in who's the FNG or Geriatric pilot...ANY info and point of view is worth it and highly appreciated...my patience with dealing with the BS in the M.E. (specifically Qatar) is pretty much non existant and the next move I make im hopeing will be the long term choice I want!

So Fr8, any info on hiring/expansion/ etc and your view?

I will defer to the FNG that is obviously the expert here, he has always been so verbal on this site. Bad mouthed and bitched about Atlas until he got on here, sure can't wait for our first flight together as my F/O. Or to the frustrated MidEx wife that also seems to know what is going on at Atlas. You enjoy the sand box this last summer darlin'?

I should know better than to look at these sites, all they do is raise my blood pressure.
