Airnet vs. Ameriflight
#42
Where/what aircraft are newhires for AMF generally placed? I am curious about this company but I don't have the PIC mins - I have 850TT and 500 SIC turbine multi, already working for a 135 company but looking for a change/better pay, and with the regionals slowing down right now, I'm looking at other options.

Please do yourself a favor and consider big time before coming to ameriflight. There are better companies out there, and they will start hiring very soon.
I use to like flying for this company since Eddie Menshain and two other managment guys left the company and the managment sucks,,,sucksss big time.
I would consider before putting in my application.
One more thing that sucks with this company, the schedule. let me tell you guys how it works.
you wake up around 4 am in the morning and call dispatcher and tell them that you are checking in.
Then you have to show up one hour later, so in this example it would be 5 am at the airport.
You take off around 5:45 am and get to your destination around 7 or 8 am depends on which run you are doing.
After that, you will rest at the layover and depart around 6-7 pm and will get back to your home base around 8-9 Pm. Expect to be home around 9-10 pm. The scenerio above is an example of one of the runs in Burbank.
why not airnet, better airplane and better equipment.
Good luck to all you guys.

Sounds like a DHL feeder route. Ive heard some people enjoy that schedule. I think they play golf or something on the layover. regardless airnet doesnt have a whole lot of that unless you're looking to live in the west then, yes its quite similar. Otherwise lots of up and down. 6 approaches in one night is not terribly uncommon in some parts of the country (Northeast in the winter). But either way they own you 4-5 days a week. I think I have more phone numbers for couriers now than friends. Oh well
