They are technically different companys.

Kalitta Air 747's doesn't accept people from Charters I or II
Kalitta Charters II 727's DC-9
Kalitta Charters I Lears and Falcons under 135 regs.

The is the potential to transfer over there. It is one my last resort options. They have a 21 and 7 schedule and a 15 minute call out time. Most of the 727 guys can't make that. I am 45 - 60 minutes from the airport. The owner has said those that are furloughed may transfer over to 135 as captains, providing they are qualified and can pass training. There are a lot of unknowns and the 135 side isn't happy about 727 guys cutting to the front of the FO's waiting to upgrade.

Thanks for the suggestions and encourgement. It is now looking like I may make the cut [crossed fingers].
