Dear Readers,
Letter from the Editor
This month marks 14 years since our country was attacked on September 11th, 2001. I am sure we can all remember exactly what we were doing and where we were when the attacks started that day. Exactly four days prior, my first son, Carson, was born. While I’m sure he doesn’t remember the events of that day, the dangers that this world could bring to my newborn son frightened me and that I will never forget. The fear of the uncertainty, the feelings of grief and the thoughts of anger overwhelmed all of us the following weeks and months after that day. That day changed our lives, our profession and our careers. We will never forget that day nor will we forget those that lost their lives; the passengers in the air, the people on the ground and the heroes that responded to save them. I encourage all of you to wear your full uniform during the week of September 11th. Show everyone that you will Never Forget, stand tall and wear your uniform with Pride. From all of us at Aero Crew News and Aero Crew Solutions, fly safe! Craig D. Pieper Editor in Chief
Scott Rehn Aero Crew Solutions, CEO

The latest aviation industry hiring news and more.
Recently, United launched United Ground Express, a wholly owned subsidiary of United Airlines, that will provide cost effective ground handling services at traditionally outsourced locations. With approximately 150 outsourced stations within the U.S., this will provide an opportunity to take on some work that was previously handled by business partners. While being a separate company from United Airlines, it will allow United to mirror their flyer friendly service philosophy, providing customers with a seamless travel experience. United Ground Express will provide customer service,
We are excited to announce that Air Wisconsin has entered into a commitment to provide electronic flight bags (EFBs) to our cockpit crewmembers, which will replace our paper flight manuals and navigational charts. This commitment represents yet another investment into technology and tools necessary to enhance and build upon our great operating performance while providing our pilots with the ease of accessing volumes of data in electronic format. Beginning in November, pilots will begin transitioning away from paper to an EFB contained on an iPad, which will enable pilots to reference their flight manuals and navigational charts with ease. This technology will assist crewmembers and allow them to be more efficient in the cockpit, as well as lighten their load during trips. In conjunction with this new technology, we have entered into a three-year partnership with Navtech to provide the navigational charts for the EFBs. Navtech’s reputation for great service and quality has earned them business worldwide

station operations, ramp, baggage handling and cargo service. The company will launch service later this year in select stations and will also provide ground handling for United’s new service to and from AZO (Kalamazoo, Michigan) starting Dec. 9, 2015. It will expand to more locations in 2016. United will continue to use ground handling business partners in markets where it makes financial and logistical sense to do so. United Ground Express began recruiting to place qualified applicants in available positions and launched a new website with additional information, UnitedGroundExpress.com.
by providing charts to more than 100 carriers. Their charts customer base includes carriers of all sizes and business models such as Flybe Finland, Cathay Pacific, and Ryan Air. By partnering with Navtech, we will become their launch customer in the United States and we look forward to working with them and their dedicated commitment to ensuring the success of this important project. This initiative is the result of tremendous coordination and effort across virtually every department of the company including, but not limited to, Flight, IT, Maintenance, Finance and Strategic Sourcing. Over the next several weeks, there will be a lot of communication, coordination and training to ensure a successful rollout of the EFB. Please take the time to stay informed as this exciting project continues to move us forward while becoming an integral part of our daily flight operations.
Ameriflight is excited to announce the addition of two EMB120 Brasilias to our fleet; increasing our EMB-120 fleet size to ten. The first of the two Brasilias is currently undergoing cargo conversion at Worldwide Aircraft Services in Springfield, MO and is scheduled for delivery in early September; at which time it will go through the FAA conformity process and be on-line by mid-month. The second aircraft will follow approximately 60 days later.
Ameriflight operates a fleet of over 200 aircraft including the Embraer EMB-110 and EMB-120, Beechcraft Be99 and Be1900, Fairchild Sa227, and Cessna C208, providing daily service for the largest international integrators and manufacturers throughout North America and the Caribbean.
Republic is reaching out to universities and the top flight schools across the country to establish partnerships. Earlier this year, Republic and Purdue University announced an innovative new partnership that will match students from one of the nation’s top aviation programs with a career track at the world’s largest operator of Embraer aircraft – an educational first in the state of Indiana and a first for the regional airline industry. Called the Industry–Purdue Opportunity Pipeline (iPOP), the collaborative initiative concentrates on enhancing a clear university/industry education pathway for students in Purdue’s Department of Aviation Technology, which work on real-world scenarios and projects with Republic. Upon graduation, iPOP participants will receive a guaranteed employment interview with Republic for positions such as pilots, engineers, mechanics and other corporate functions.
PSA is hiring first officers. New hires can expect little to no reserve time and the fastest upgrade time in the industry.

History of Excellence
W
ith more than 30 years of experience providing regional service to American Airlines, Envoy Air (formerly American Eagle Airlines) is the largest of American’s three wholly owned regional carriers. Envoy operates nearly 180 jet aircraft on about 900 flights per day to more than 150 destinations. As the largest provider of regional feed to American, Envoy enjoys a unique status within American Airlines Group (AAG). This is clearly demonstrated by the carrier’s unmatched pilot flowthrough agreement and American’s recent fleet commitment to place 40 Embraer 175 (E175) aircraft with Envoy, with options for up to 90 more. Join the Envoy Team Envoy’s unwavering commitment to safety starts with the interview and selection process to ensure its pilots are of the highest quality. “Joining the Envoy team is more than getting a
job,” says Captain Ric Wilson, Vice President Flight Operations. In addition to signing bonuses and free ATP-CTP courses, Envoy is among the top regionals for highest first-year hourly compensation, per diem and open time pay. With crew bases in Chicago and Dallas/Fort Worth, also crew bases for American, you can enjoy smooth commuting as you confidently put down roots in major metropolitan communities. If you’re a pilot who prefers to commute to base, Envoy offers a number of programs to make getting to and from work a little easier. Envoy Advantages: •
Up to $10,000 signing bonus for graduates from a Pipeline Program school*
•
Free ATP-CTP course with transportation and hotel accommodations (terms apply)
•
$5,000 signing bonus*
•

Envoy operates nearly 180 jet aircraft on about 900 flights per day to more than 150 destinations. Take Off With Envoy and Land a Mainline Career Once on board, all current and new-hire Envoy pilots have a direct career path to American, without requiring an additional interview. “With our flow-through to American Airlines, you’re launching a lifelong career,” says Wilson. “We maintain the highest standards at Envoy to ensure that American gets the very best.” Current projections indicate that new-hire pilots will upgrade to Envoy captain in just 2 1/2 years and will flow through to American to pursue his or her dream of a mainline career in just six years. Since 2013, more than 500 Envoy pilots have transitioned to an American flightdeck. This represents 62 percent of all pilots hired at American during that period. No other regional has placed more pilots with American over the past 2 1/2 years. Quality of Life As part of the Envoy family, our pilots enjoy an outstanding quality of life, full of opportunity and benefits. Family medical, dental and life insurance, coupled with accident and disability coverage, allow you to focus on what’s important when you need to. When it’s time to play, Envoy offers discounts on a wide range of travel services like cruises, car rentals, hotels and entertainment, in addition to free flights for you and your family. Benefits and Perks

For pilots who choose to commute to their base, Envoy offers a number of industry leading programs to make getting to and from work a little easier. Commuting pilots are provided a hotel in domicile, up to four times a month to allow for commuting on the night before or the last night of an assignment. Envoy even provides hotels for pilots who are based at DFW, but commute from other cities, while they attend training at the Envoy Training Center in Dallas/Fort Worth. Lastly, the carrier allows pilots to miss a flying assignment due to commuting difficulties up to six times in a rolling 12-month period. Pipeline Instructor Program To staff the aircraft of tomorrow, Envoy has partnered with 41 colleges, universities and flight schools to develop a direct career path from student to airline pilot. The Envoy Pilot Pipeline Program offers pilots a secured position as an instructor at Envoy while building time toward the ATP minimum requirements. Upon reaching the specified minimums, Pipeline Instructors begin first officer training with no additional interview. Students in their sophomore year or higher can begin the interview process to become an Envoy Pipeline Instructor while still in school.

Upon joining the airline as a first officer, qualified graduates earn a $10,000 scholarship. To date, of the 81 Pipeline Instructors who have been involved with this program, 100 percent have passed their training and are now flying for Envoy. Interview with Capt. Ric Wilson, VP Flight Operations, Envoy Air We sat down with Capt. Ric Wilson, a 26-year veteran of the airline, for his insights on a career with Envoy Air. You’ve been at the company a long time. What keeps you at Envoy? I am immensely proud of the more than 2,000 professional pilots at Envoy whom I’ve flown with over the years — they are the backbone of our company and absolutely committed to maintaining a safe and reliable operation. When you start
with a regional, it’s a close-knit community of pilots, and I have always enjoyed that camaraderie. Working for a large and established regional airline gives you numerous opportunities. I have been provided with many at Envoy and elected to join the management team, but could just as easily have pursued a mainline flying career. What trends do you see in pilot staffing over the coming years? One of the most promising projections I have seen comes from American Airlines, but I suspect we’ll be seeing it across the industry. As more senior pilots at American reach mandatory retirement age, American anticipates a steady stream of pilot retirements over the next three years, with an even greater number of retirements in the years that follow. Envoy already maintains a steady flow of pilots to American, but their hiring needs in the next few years represents an amazing opportunity for Envoy pilots. Our flow-through agreement with American guarantees that all existing and new hire Envoy pilots will make up a significant portion of every American new hire class. If your goal is to fly for American, our airline has proven to be one of the best places for you to make that dream a reality. What can an applicant expect when applying to Envoy? We’re committed to safety and have a responsibility to send only the best pilots to American. So when you interview
with Envoy, you’re really getting an insight into what a major airline interview is like. We start with a behavioral-based interview, which predicts future performance through past performance in similar situations. Then we conduct a technical interview, simulating a short flight using Jeppesen enroute and approach charts. Finally, we take candidates through a short flight in a Beechcraft Baron Flight Training Device with a visual presentation. We’ve found that this sort of comprehensive interview process ensures the best fit for Envoy. And if you stay and flow-through to American, you will not be required to go through an additional interview. How would you characterize Envoy’s future? There has never been a better time to be at Envoy — I am excited about what the future holds. We are the largest provider of regional feed to American Airlines, the largest mainline carrier in the world, and an integral part of their regional network. There is a tremendous amount of work being done all across the company to prepare for the arrival of our new fleet of 76-seat, two-class Embraer 175 (E175) aircraft, scheduled to arrive in November. American has committed to place 40 E175s with Envoy, along with options for up to 90 more. These large regional jets represent the future of their regional fleet, and we can’t wait to begin operation.

Exclusive interview with Nick Brice, Director of Pilot Recruitment at Envoy. Pre Interview: Craig: How do you select applicants to be brought in for an interview? Nick: Envoy maintains a rigorous selection process for our pilots and carefully reviews all applications submitted to www.AirlineApps.com. Applicants who meet our qualifications are invited to interview by a member of our recruiting team at our Headquarters campus in Dallas/ Fort Worth. C: N:
What can an applicant do to increase their chances of being called for an interview? Each applicant is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Some of the criteria that our recruiters are looking for are recent flight experience, a clean driving/FAA record, and internal recommendations from existing employees
C: N:
How critical is it to attend a job fair to get an interview? Attending a career fair to meet with our recruiters in person is encouraged, but certainly not mandatory for consideration.
C: What is the best way to prepare for an interview with your company? N: Read the online gouges, ask friends who have interviewed, and talk to other Envoy pilots who have interviewed recently. Know how to read Jeppeson charts, be familiar with Part 121 regulations, as well as Part 91 regulations. Study the Sim packet we send. Then memorize all the profiles, limitations, and memory items. Interview: C: Do you recommend that applicants get to your headquarters city the day before and get a hotel room for the night? N: For out-of-town applicants, Envoy will fly an applicant to DFW the day prior to their interview. Envoy will provide complimentary hotel accommodations and transportation to make your interview worry-free. C: Can you walk me through a typical day of interviews? N: 8:00 AM Logbooks and paperwork are Briefing begins- collected. Applicants are given a brief overview of Envoy Air and told about the Interview process and what to expect. 9:00 – 12:00 HR, Sim, and Tech evaluations are conducted 12:00 – 1:00 Lunch
14 | Aero Crew News
1:00 – 2:00 Background paperwork is collected and applicants are fingerprinted. 2:00 – 2:30 Interview should be complete mid afternoon, with ample time for out-of town applicants to travel home. C: What kind of questions can an applicant expect to be asked? N: One of our primary goals is to get to know the applicant. We will go over their application with them and ask questions based on the information they give us. We want to understand how they got into aviation, why they they think Envoy would be a good fit for them, and what their goals are for the future. Then we will ask a few “tell me about a time…” situational questions. These are designed to get an insight into how the applicant thinks, how they interact with others, and to gauge what they have learned from their life experiences. C: N:
Can you give me some examples of the TMAAT questions that you like to ask? Tell me about a time you had a conflict with somebody and how you resolved It? Tell me about a time when you went above and beyond? Tell me about a time you were criticized and how did you handle it? Tell me about a time when you succeeded?
C: N:
If the TMAAT question being asked does not apply to that applicant can that question be skipped? The TMAAT questions are designed to be general enough that they apply to almost everybody. If the question does not fit your work experience exactly, do your best to come up with a situation that is close to the subject of the question.
C: N:
What are some of the biggest mistakes that applicants make during the interview process? The biggest mistake an applicant can make is to not be fully truthful about their background. It is understandable that applicants may not want to disclose check-ride failures or legal issues they may have had because they feel it might keep them from getting an interview. This is a false assumption, as check-ride failures and/or misdemeanors alone will not disqualify an applicant from an interview or a pilot position at Envoy. However, if they are not disclosed and then show up on the background check, that will eliminate you from consideration. Also remember the saying “you never get a second chance to
Interview cont... make a first impression.” Show-up on time, wear a suit and tie, be clean-shaven, be excited to be here, and be professional. Written test: C: Is there a written or computer test? N: No, we have eliminated that from the interview process. Simulator Evaluation: C: Do you have a simulator ride? N: Yes. C: N:
What type of aircraft is used for the simulator evaluation? It’s fixed-based Frasca with wrap-around visuals. It is set up as a Baron with G1000 Avionics.
C: N:
What types of scenarios should you expect in the simulator evaluation? It’s a very straight forward evaluation; there are no tricks or simulated emergencies. We do a basic departure, and then some air-work, climbs and descents, turns, radial intercepts, a hold, a precision approach and a nonprecision approach.
C: N:
What are you looking for in the simulator evaluation? One of the main purposes of the simulator evaluation is to determine the proficiency level of the applicant’s instrument scan. Next we want to evaluate the applicant’s CRM skills. Are they utilizing the non-flying pilot, are they communicating effectively, are they assertive, are they transferring controls to write down clearances and brief approaches? And lastly, did they study the simulator packet we sent them. Do they know the profiles, do they know the callouts, do they know the limitations and the memory items?
C: N:
What are the biggest mistakes applicants make in the simulator? If an applicant has not been flying instruments in a while it would be a big mistake to not go out and practice some instrument flying before the interview. If your scan is not proficient, it will show up when you get task saturated. Also, we do not use a moving map, so you need to understand how to find your position using VOR radials and how to set up the HSI to properly track a radial. Probably the most common mistake made is entering the hold. Make sure you transfer controls, write down your clearance, take your time and draw out your position relative to the hold, the holding pattern itself, and the entry. Then brief your non-flying pilot.
Post Interview: C: How long do applicants have to wait to know if they are hired? N: If they are successful, applicants will be given a pre-offer of employment right away, pending their background check. The background check can take anywhere from 1-4 weeks depending on how long the paperwork takes to get back. We send out all paperwork that day, but previous employers have up to 30 days to return it. Most employers send it back within a week, but occasionally they will take longer. C: How soon can an applicant expect a class date after being hired? N: Classes start every other Monday, so it just depends on when we get the background paperwork back and the applicant’s availability. General: C: How many pilots does your airline expect to hire this year? N: We will hire as many pilots as we can, but our goal is to hire at least 50 more pilots for 2015 and at least 250 pilots for 2016. C: N:
Can you explain the ATP-CQP class that your company offers? Envoy has an agreement with CAE Simuflite in DFW for the ATP-CTP course. It is a week-long course paid for by Envoy, however it requires a two-year commitment that runs concurrently with the $5,OOO or $10,000 bonus agreement. If you need the ATP-CTP course, Envoy will fly you down a week before ground school and give you a hotel and ground transportation while you are completing the course.
C: N:
Do you have a hiring bonus? Is there any specific criterion to qualify for the bonus? We have a $5,000 bonus program for which everyone qualifies. We also have a $10,000 bonus that is a part of our University Pipeline Program. If you graduated from one of our partner schools with an Aviation-related degree and a GPA of 2.5 overall and 3.0 in aviation classes, and you achieved three advanced ratings from that school, you will qualify for the higher bonus. Both bonuses come with a two-year agreement.
C. N.
What Universities are part of the University Pipeline Program? Embry-Riddle, UND, University of Oklahoma, US Aviation, and TransPac are just a few of the 41 partner schools we have throughout the U.S. and Puerto Rico. The rest can been seen at: www.envoyair.com/careers. We are always looking for more quality schools to partner with.

espite its name, Metropolitan College is not a college. It was established as a partnership among Jefferson Community and Technical College, the University of Louisville and charter business partner UPS. This partnership provides eligible Kentucky residents access to a tuition-free post-secondary education and outstanding employment opportunities. With funding support from the Kentucky and Louisville Metro governments and UPS, the mission of Metropolitan College is to assist students to integrate work, academic and career goals, and personal lives through a unique combination of programs and services. UPS Metropolitan College (MC) is a joint educationworkforce-economic development initiative among the University of Louisville (U of L), Jefferson Community and Technical College (JCTC), Louisville Metro and State of Kentucky governments, and the region’s largest employer, UPS. MC was a critical element of the incentive package that convinced UPS to remain in Kentucky and to expand its major overnight air hub, Worldport. This uniquely innovative education program offers access to post-secondary education opportunities for eligible employees in the Next Day Air operation at UPS Worldport. Acknowledged by the U.S. Department of Labor for best practices in innovative solutions to workforce development, MC and UPS offer a well-documented solution for the elimination of the financial barriers to higher education for residents of Kentucky. Since its inception in 1998, this innovative partnership

“Everyone benefits when more people have access to an education and Metropolitan College is here to provide people with that opportunity.” ~ George Poling, Executive Director Metropolitan College has helped thousands of students receive a free education and on-the-job training while stabilizing the workforce. Participants in the MC program work part-time at UPS in the Next Day Air operation, receiving wages and full benefits. MC participants may attend JCTC or U of L (specific admission criteria must be met) where they are eligible for full undergraduate Kentucky resident tuition for all coursework passed with a “C” or above. In addition, MC participants are eligible for book reimbursement (up to $65 per class) and academic completion bonuses. To fulfill the program’s mission of assisting students to integrate their academic, work and personal lives, MC has a team of Student Development Counselors who assist students in a wide array of support services to ensure their success both in the workplace and in the classroom.
MC Student Spotlight: Heidi Arbuckle By Renecia Griffie Davis, Student Development Counselor Heidi Arbuckle started the Metropolitan College program in fall 2014. At just 19 years of age, and her junior year just beginning at the University of Louisville, Arbuckle’s achievements are already impressive. Arbuckle works third shift at UPS as a frontline supervisor to access tuition free postsecondary education benefits through the Metropolitan College program. She currently majors in English at the University of Louisville where she is a Trustee’s Scholarship recipient and a University Louisville Honors Program participant. Most recently, Arbuckle completed the spring 2015 semester with an overall cumulative GPA of 3.8 while working nights at UPS. She feels her greatest accomplishment in life so far has been becoming a supervisor at a Fortune 500 company. Arbuckle has maintained A’s and B’s in her college classes while balancing the responsibility and increased work hours that goes along with being a supervisor. Arbuckle commented, “A lot of people try to deny my claim to credibility as a supervisor because of my age. I had to work harder to gain credibility and respect and prove that my age was just a number as far as my job was concerned.”
full-time supervisor at UPS and work her way up in management and to become a publisher or head editor for a renowned publication. Arbuckle has advice to give to current and future Metropolitan College participants. She says, “Don’t overload yourself. If you can’t balance school, work, and a personal life when going to school full-time, then cut back on your credit hours. Yeah you might not graduate in four years but you’ll have your sanity and your school will still be paid for.” Arbuckle stressed the importance of Metropolitan College students taking summer classes, which are covered by MC benefits, to avoid being overloaded with credit hours during the fall and spring semesters. In fact, Arbuckle is currently taking a summer course and makes it a point to schedule her classes, when possible, in the afternoon to ensure she gets proper rest and has ample time to complete homework assignments. “My personal life is pretty much set aside until the weekend,” said Arbuckle.
It is Arbuckle’s strong academic achievement, ability to effectively balance work and life responsibilities, and her commitment to her career field that she received the Spring 2015 Outstanding UofL MC Student Award.
Arbuckle feels very confident about her future career goals and credits the Metropolitan College program for requiring all students to complete the Career and Academic Planning Program (CAPP), which helps to prepare students for rewarding career opportunities. In addition, she acknowledged UPS’s role in helping her to prepare for her career field and stated, “UPS has taught me how to manage and coach employees, make business connections and maintain relationships, and handle stressful and demanding situations.”
Arbuckle expects to graduate with her Bachelor of Arts in English in May 2017. Her long term career goals are to become a

Kalitta Air’s has established a reputation of dependability and flexibility that has enabled us to establish solid, long-term alliances with such entities as DHL, US and allied armed forces, Asiana, Pacific Air Cargo and many others.
In order to meet our current and projected growth in customer demand, we are in the process of expanding our fleet of 747-400s and working to augment the 747s with twin-engine wide-body freighters in the near future. As the company grows, so does our need to hire highly qualified, mission-oriented professional pilots to join our team. At this time, we are hiring pilots exclusively onto the 747-400. Our pilot group is composed of pilots who have joined us from all facets of aviation, including regional airlines, the US military and corporate operations.

Pilot quality of life and benefits:
What we’d like from our pilot applicants:
•
$66/hr. 1st year pay.
•
FAA ATP rating
•
All flying done on an off day is paid at 150% of pilot’s hourly rate.
•
5,000 hrs. total time (2,500 hrs. for former or current military pilots).
•
100% company paid travel to/from work. Kalitta Air pilots may live virtually anywhere in the country including Alaska and Hawaii. The company purchases positive space tickets to and from duty assignments, completely eliminating the stress of jumpseating to and from work that is so familiar to any airline pilot who has ever had to commute.
•
“Glass cockpit” experience is preferred, but not required.
•
Flexibility and a “can do” attitude are absolutely required. Although we have a sizable scheduled route structure, a large portion of our flying is on-demand. This business model requires operational flexibility at every level within the organization, especially from the flight crews. For example, it’s not uncommon to go to bed thinking that you’ll be flying to Germany in the morning, only to wake up and discover that you’re actually being sent to Brazil instead!
•
Industry-leading Blue Cross/ Blue Shield health, dental and vision care package at a cost of only $20 per pay period (every 2 weeks) for individuals and $40 per pay period for families. The insurance becomes free after 5 years of service.
•
17 days on, 14 days off schedule. (13 days off during a 30 day month.) Pilots have the option to bid for the more common 17 days in a row schedule or, split schedules (9 days on, 14 days off, 8 days on, for example) when available. No “junior manning.”
•
401(k) matching.
•
100% company paid life insurance.
Once selected to attend training, new hire pilots will travel to Kalitta Air’s corporate headquarters in Ypsilanti, MI. All pilot training, from day one of company indoctrination through the type rating simulator ride is conducted at our adjacent self-contained training facility. The training center contains our 747-200 and 747400 full motion simulators and our 747-400 flight training device (FTD), all of which are used exclusively for Kalitta Air pilot training. All of our new hire pilots receive PIC type ratings on the 747-400. If you’re an experienced aviator with solid technical skills, a professional attitude and a sense of adventure, we highly encourage you to visit our website at www.kalittaair.com and submit your resume.

Exclusive interview with Sean Horton, Assistant Chief Pilot, Kalitta. Pre Interview: Craig: How do you select applicants to be brought in for an interview? Sean: We initially screen each resume that we receive to determine whether the applicant meets our basic requirements, e.g. flight hours, ATP certificate, etc. Once their eligibility is established, we thoroughly review the details of each resume to attempt to develop a clear understanding of who the applicant is and the path that his or her career has followed up to this point.
If we determine that the applicant has the potential to be a good fit for the airline, we’ll reach out and extend the offer to come to company headquarters for an interview.
C: S:
What can an applicant do to increase their chances of being called for an interview? Applicants should focus on creating a clear and concise resume that neatly outlines their experience and qualifications. I also cannot overstate the importance of both being honest and eliminating all ambiguity in the career summary portion of the resume.
Attending job fairs is also a great way for applicants to make an impression on our recruiters and stand out as living, breathing people, versus being evaluated as just another resume from the pile.
C: S:
How critical is it to attend a job fair to get an interview? We strongly encourage pilots who are interested in joining Kalitta Air to attend job fairs. While attendance certainly isn’t required to be offered an interview, it certainly helps if we can “place a name with a face.” At the same time, prospective pilots have a chance to listen to our presentation and meet our recruiters to learn more about our organization. We view the job fair process as an invaluable opportunity to get to know our candidates in an informal setting in advance of the actual interviews conducted at company headquarters.
C: S:
only help you give a genuine answer to this question, but will also enable you to ask your interviewers pointed and pertinent questions throughout the interview process. When an applicant has clearly done his or her homework, it indicates a certain level of seriousness.
Interview: C: Do you recommend that applicants get to your headquarters city the day before and get a hotel room for the night? S: The interview process starts at 0800, so we definitely recommend that, unless they live within the immediate vicinity of our headquarters, applicants arrive the day prior to their interview. C: S:
Can you walk me through a typical day of interviews? When they first arrive, members of the Human Resources and Flight Crew Training departments greet the candidates and everyone assembles in a classroom to complete some required paperwork and await being called to complete their pre-employment drug screenings.
After the administrative items are completed, candidates are taken in pairs to be briefed by the Check Airman who will be conducting their simulator evaluation. At the conclusion of the briefing, the pair will fly their evaluation flight together, which typically lasts between 30 and 45 minutes.
In the meantime, the students who are awaiting or have completed their evals will remain in the classroom with one or two additional Check Airmen who will spend the entire time getting to know the candidates and answering any questions they may have in a relaxed, informal setting.
Once they complete their simulator sessions, applicants are called in individually for their panel interviews.
C: What is the best way to prepare for an interview with S: your company? The best interview preparation advice that I can offer is to spend some time researching Kalitta Air and the type of flying that we do, so that you can form an understanding of who we are as an organization. One question that we always ask during the interview is “Why would you like to fly for Kalitta Air?” Being well informed will not
What kind of questions can an applicant expect to be asked? The panel interview provides us the opportunity to determine whether the applicant will be a good fit for our airline and whether our airline will be a good fit for the applicant. Our awareness that the applicants are essentially interviewing us as an airline at the same time that we are interviewing them as potential pilots leads to a more informal interview setting, in which applicants are encouraged to ask as many questions as they
like, in between answering the question they’re asked by the interviewers.
In keeping with this concept, we mostly avoid asking canned or scripted questions. Instead, the interview tends to flow more like a conversation, during which we get to know the applicant, explore his or her background and determine if they’ll fit well into our pilot group.
C: S:
What are some of the biggest mistakes that applicants make during the interview process? Since the interview process only affords us a short amount of time to get to know our applicants, we really appreciate when they are open, honest and forthcoming. It’s never a good idea to give an interviewer the impression that you’re being evasive or less than truthful during the interview.
It’s also important to remember that we evaluate our interviewees as whole people and not just pilots. Excellent flying skills and extensive flight time in the logbook do not automatically guarantee success. It’s equally important to be personable.
Written test: C: Is there a written or computer test? S: No. Simulator Evaluation: C: Do you have a simulator ride? S: Yes. C: S:
What type of aircraft is used for the simulator evaluation? The Boeing 747-200. Although we’re presently hiring exclusively into the 747-400, which has a modern glass cockpit, we elect to use our 747-200 simulator for evaluations. The -200’s older generation cockpit provides us with a better opportunity to gauge an applicant’s basic instrument and flying skills.
C: S:
What types of scenarios should you expect in the simulator evaluation? The evaluation consists of a basic, hand-flown, raw data flight. The evaluator will brief the applicants about the scenario, which consists of a takeoff and climb, tracking to a fix to enter and fly a hold, exiting the hold, vectors to an ILS and approach and landing. (The actual landing is not evaluated.)
C: S:
What are you looking for in the simulator evaluation? We do our best to impress upon our applicants that the point of our simulator evaluation is to get a feel for their
basic instrument, aircraft control, procedural and CRM skills. Since the majority of our pilots have no previous 747 experience, we encourage them to utilize procedures and call for checklists that mirror those of the most recent aircraft they’ve flown.
It’s also important for applicants to remember that they are not competing against their simulator partner to earn the job. The evaluator will be closely watching how the pilots interact and how well they use CRM to support each other.
C: S:
What are the biggest mistakes applicants make? The biggest issue that we see is with applicants whose most recent experience has been flying aircraft with newer generation cockpits with PFD/ ND style displays. These pilots will often require a few minutes of flying to settle down and recalibrate their instrument scans. We also find that applicants who have no previous heavy jet experience tend to over-control the aircraft because they assume that a heavy jet should be heavy on the controls, which the 747 is not.
Besides these issues, some applicants find that entering, flying and exiting the raw data hold occasionally presents a challenge.
Post Interview: C: Do you tell applicants they are hired in person that day? S: Unfortunately, we are unable to make a formal offer of employment until we receive an applicant’s drug screening results, but it usually takes no longer than 2 to 3 days. C: S:
How soon can an applicant expect a class date after being hired? We make every effort to place our applicants in class as soon as possible. With the current hiring rate, we expect to be able to offer applicants class dates that are no more than 6 weeks in the future, with the majority entering classes much sooner.
General: C: How many pilots does your airline expect to hire this year? S: While it’s difficult to project the number of pilots that we intend to hire, it’s important to note that the airline is in a period of growth with additional aircraft slated to arrive over the course of the next several months and beyond. We foresee a need to hire and train quality pilots throughout the remainder of 2015 and well into 2016.

Contract Talks
The Ups and Downs of Upgrade Time
P
eople will often talk about upgrade time and how long it should be from when a pilot starts working at a company and when they will upgrade to be a Captain at that company. Since Part 121 Pilot-In-Command time is usually a critical requirement to be hired at a major carrier, this is usually one of the things that most pilots tend to consider when choosing an airline. Even at the major level it can have a large impact on quality of life and total earning potential. However, while upgrade time is an important part of choosing an airline, it is important to understand how it is calculated, and what some of the main factors are that affect it. This allows a prospective pilot to somewhat objectively evaluate how current upgrade times may affect them. The first thing that is important to understand is that “upgrade time” is based on the latest person to upgrade, or the most junior pilot who is sitting in the left seat. If it took that pilot 4 years to be able to hold a Captain position, then that airline is said to have a 4-year upgrade. Consequently, if airline B’s most junior Captain was hired 10 years ago, they are said to have a 10-year upgrade. This calculation is pretty straightforward. However, there are many variables that can affect an upgrade time for an incoming new hire that might not be accurately represented in the current upgrade time. The main factor that will influence upgrade time is the need of the company. This is always the primary driver of upgrades. As a general rule of thumb, when one pilot moves on, another is upgraded in their place and then a new-hire First Officer is hired to fill the vacancies at the bottom of the list (all of the other First Officers move up in seniority too). If a company is adding planes they are likely to be running shorter upgrades in order to staff the new flying (a good rule of thumb to help estimate the need for pilots is 10 Captains and First Officers per airplane). If the airline has high attrition, they may be running shorter upgrades even though they might not be adding airplanes. This can have a very large effect on the net upgrade time for a new First Officer, which may not be predicted by the current upgrade time. As an example, if Airline A is adding 50 new airplanes, and a pilot is hired at the bottom of the list with 49 of the 50 new airplanes in service, the likelihood that the new FO will see the same upgrade time that the most junior Captain did is unlikely, since the flow of upgrades will slow significantly once the new flying is adequately staffed. That leaves attrition from the Captain’s seat as the primary driver of upgrade time, which will probably not move the list forward as quickly as the addition of new flying and the attrition combined. Consequently, if Airline B is seeing very high attrition, but is not adding new flying, that may serve to decrease the upgrade time significantly in a very short span of time. Another important factor affecting upgrade time is the reality that pilots are usually hired in batches. Since the hiring usually occurs as flying is gained, and aircraft are usually delivered in batches
Written by: Scott Stahl
over a relatively short period of time, this can have a tremendous impact on how upgrade times are presented. As an example, assume that Airline A has not seen any new aircraft deliveries in 10 years. In this scenario, it is likely that most of the hiring since the original flying was staffed was only to cover attrition. Depending on how attrition occurred, the company may have sporadic hiring over the years, resulting in groups spread far apart. In the case of Airline A, assume that 150 pilots were hired in 2009 and then no hiring occurred again until 2014. If the most junior Captain hired at Airline A was hired in 2009, then the airline would be said to have a 6 year upgrade time. However, if there are only 15 pilots from 2010 below that Captain, and the airline runs an upgrade class of 20 people (the 15 pilots left from 2009 plus 5 from 2014), then the upgrade time drops from 6 years to 1 year instantly the moment that first 2014 pilot is upgraded. Essentially, this means that what held as the average upgrade time previously does not necessarily hold for new hires. Usually, an airline will discuss or advertise the current upgrade time because the future upgrade time is not known with any absolute certainty. As an alternate example, if Airline B has been adding a lot of flying, but the last airplane deliveries are occurring, they may have something on the order of a 1-2 year upgrade time, even though that won’t hold true in the future simply due the realities of reduced staffing needs since no new airframes are being delivered beyond the current aircraft. It is also important to understand that most airlines cycle between periods of growth and periods of no growth. A new factor in the industry is the looming reality of massive age related retirements at the majors that will probably serve to change the upgrade dynamics at virtually every airline currently in the industry. The final factor that can greatly affect upgrade time are basic industry cycles. It is safe to say that September 11, 2001 was an event that nobody predicted and its affects on the industry average upgrade time were catastrophic. It was the norm just prior to that for the upgrade time to be forecast at 5 years or less (in some cases, 2 years or less was the norm), even though 9-11 would make that reality very remote. In some cases, due to the industry downturn, some pilots are still sitting reserve as a First Officer when the forecast said those pilots should be Captains with 5-10 years of seniority in the left seat. This scenario affected airlines at all levels of the industry, as well as corporate aviation. Of course, these cycles also include normal economic and business cycle influences in addition to geo-political influences. It is important to understand and consider the upgrade time at a particular carrier, but pilots should be diligent to weigh the forecast or current upgrade time against the past hiring patterns, attrition, current upgrade numbers, aircraft deliveries and aircraft retirements. It is important for prospective pilots to understand that unknown variations in upgrade time should be factored into the total evaluation of an airline’s suitability as well as other quality of life issues.
