I would imagine that AMF would be looking mainly for pilots at a job fair. AMF has had a few recent job postings for pilots on Climbto350 so I would guess that they still need pilots.
As for OMA being junior, yes OMA is still (and will probably remain) a relatively junior base.
If a new hire starts in the PA31, they will start in one of the PA31 bases of which PDX, OAK, and BUR I believe are all that are left (someone with more current info might be better than me). If a new hire starts in the BE99, they could end up just about anywhere in the system. Nowadays, I would imagine BUR, OMA, and BUF would be where most new hires may end up but again, it is always based on staffing needs.

I have 3 questions for any AMF'ers out there.
1.)What are the chances of getting hired directly into any turbine equipment? 1.)Would several hundred hours of turboprop time help those chances?
3.) Where are some of the bases for the EMB (Is that a hard plane to get quickly)?
Thanks

I'm sure several hundred hours of turboprop time would help (even better if it's muliti and or PIC). Talk to recruiting.
EMB bases are DFW, San Juan, PHX, CVG and BFI. There aren't very many of them, but you can get hired into the right seat as a new hire, Captain might take a while, I'm gonna throw out a number of 3 to 5 years, and you'll probably get typed in something else first.

I don't see any current bids up for SJU, but they come up every now and then. Like the other Eastern bases, some bids get filled internally, but often it is given to new hires where it is so far out of the way for the typical pilots who start their AMF career in the chieftain in a west coast base.
