If the per diem is coming means that is not there yet!
So at the moment you make more money in a Regional at the first year pay.
Let's remember that at AMF the pay raise is 1$ per hour after one year so from 18 to 19$ an hour, in a regional in general you go from 22-25$ per hour to 30-40 $ an hour the second year, plus per diem. So, once again, you won't be rich but you'll still make more money in a regional.
It's laughable if you think what Ameriflight does is abuse. My previous job it wasn't uncommon to be stuck flying 12 hours, single pilot, living in a hotel all year. So yeah, you don't know jack about real pilot abuse.
Abuse is not when you are in line 12 hours but it's when they make you do jobs that are not yours, and of course they don't tell you in advance but only when you are in and you have a training contract.
Yes, it's true i don't know everything, like i guess you do
, i'm just reporting my experience.
The blog readers will judge if AMF is right for them or not.
