What do FO's make at AMF? Is it livable? I think i'm better off just waiting till i hit 1200 so i can go straight into the left seat. Thats if i get the job of course...

Whats the chance of a new hire being able to get their desired base? I have family that live 3 miles from KOMA. Would be great to not have to pay much rent. I am just shy of 1200 but will apply soon for the PA31/BE99.
Also, iv looked at the route map what kind of hours do KOMA guys average a week? Seems like shorter routes...

Bro FOs make $23670/yr. You can also plan to be in the 120 for one year, even if you go over 1200 hours during that time.

A lot of UPS runs are domiciled away from the main base because they start and end the week at the out station. I can't speak to the specific run information since I have never flown up there.

Take a look at flight aware to get an idea of the specific times for the runs but essentially you fly into the hub in the evening, rest for a few hours through the night in a crew apartment, then fly back out to your outstation home in the morning. GRI is the only one that was mon night to fri morning. The other three are mon night to sat morning. Great flying experience learning how to deal with cold wx ops in the winter and some crazy storms in the summer. Definitely makes you a better pilot. The mx operation was good out there as well.

Your closest is MIA, which is all type rated airplanes, so you're unlikely to go straight there without previous turbine time and an opening. Same story in CVG. DFW opens to newbies sometimes.

First year pay for chieftain or 99 is 28,000, compare that with what buff said for the EMB FO. Again the big advantage to the FO route is that your seniority number will be better. BTW, the payscale for everything else is under airline profiles, top of your screen.

The other consideration is that there are far fewer openings for the EMB FO spot than for the PA31 and BE99 captains.
