Depends on which layover you are at. All but one of the layovers has a crew car. If you go to the layover in Mammoth then you could go skiing, hiking, sleep, surf the internet, or sleep some more. We have a layover in San Diego and you can do pretty much anything as long as you show up for your evening flights. I would definately invest in a good laptop with wireless capability. The first months are always the roughest for new pilots out of BUR (I can't speak for other bases). They will usually get the less desired runs, but those runs still have descent flight times. The flights operate M-F with weekends off and you do come home every night. As for QOL, it's whatever you make of your time at the layover and on the weekends. We've had some pilots that didn't do their research and got the job here and ended up not liking it because the lifestyle was a lot different then what they expected. If you really want to work here then you will enjoy yourself. If AMF is your third or fourth choice of airlines to go to and others did not hire you or you haven't heard back from them, then you might not like the lifestyle. If you want to go fly a shiny new jet then AMF is not for you. But, if you want to sharpen your IFR skills, get a lot of line experience, and become a good stick, then AMF is definately for you. You'll be doing a lot of hand flying in IMC in single pilot operations flying into BFE airports with an NDB only approach down (well, maybe not that severe). A lot of people have used AMF as a spring board for their careers. Upgrade to turbine is fairly fast and it's all PIC TIME! Let me know if I can answer any more questions; I'd be more than happy to.
