Thank you for your feedback and replay to my post.
I'm really glad to know that my bad experience is only mine and no one else had the same bad experience, I'm always glad to be wrong. It means that things are not as bad as i thought.
Is everybody enjoining Ameriflight?
Just one clarification about the loading and unloading issue.
By the contract, and logic as well, the pilot is suppose to coordinate and monitor the loading and unloading phases. Which means: the pilot is in the cargo bay of the plane and hands the cargo to the driver of the courier who is waiting outside the plane. How do you do that if you are alone and there is no driver outside the palne? You should start unloading by your self, walk across the ramp with cargo on your hands (AMF doesn't want you to go to the FBO to ask for a cart or dolly because they don't pay for unloading fees!!). Problem is that if you cannot carry everything at once, you'll leave the plane unattended on the ramp with the cargo inside and this is not allowed by the company and Federal regulation safety related. The pilot is the ground and inflight safety coordinator and is responsible for the safety of the plane and its cargo.
You cannot leave the plane unattended with cargo inside!!
My experience was related to non UPS or FEDEX run but simple local courier that were always late.
AMF is a big company and everyone has his own personal experience, I just wanted to share mine.
Second things that i want to clarify: at Ameriflight the dispatchers are not FAA certified dispatchers, AMF is not required to have them and they are trained by AMF but not officially a dispatch. Which means if something happens when you fly, nothing will happens to the dispatch but something will be written on your paperwork and that, for sure, will be a problem in case you want to be hire by anybody else in the US within the following five years.
But the main question is still the same:
on this blog, does anyone know the name of a pilot who has been hire by a major straight from AMF skipping the regional? If not the question is always, why AMF if you want to work for a major? None is looking for PIC time but only total time.
But mainly why people is leaving AMF where they log turbine PIC time to go for a regional job where they log SIC time?
