Haven't been on the board for a bit so excuse the mass answer.

Unless you are hiring for a specific run that we haven't been able to fill internally, you will initially be slated for a PA31. There may be a few 99 runs available and offered to the class when you get to indoc.

"Around Dallas" being the operative word. Most of our Texas runs are "outstationed", meaning you live at the outstation. The run will come into the hub (DFW or SAT) at night and back out in the morning. The schedule runs from Monday PM through either Friday or Saturday morning.
The actual Dallas (and San Antonio) based positions are reserve. As explained in previous posts, unlike a 121 operation, our reserves tend to me the more senior positions because of the schedule. (More time off, not flying the same run day after day after day....)

Are those requirements lower for pilots already working at AMF ? What are the mins. to get a 99 as a new hire ? (assuming there was a vacancy for one of course)
Those are the published times for new hires as well as in-house transitions. There have been pilots moved into metros/1900s with lower times depending on need and individual pilot skill level. Like other operations you may have checked into, insurance requirments go a long way to driving time requirements for captains. You also need to think about the fact that we are one of the few operators that fly metros single pilot.
99 pilot mins are published at 1500 total, 50 turbine. Again, the needs and pilot experience may adjust those numbers.

Thanks
The lowest time is in the 500-700 hour range for E120 first officers. But we only have 8 of those positions in the entire company. For captains it is 1200 total time and that is determined by the regulations for a part 135 operation.
