Even with the pay and benefits of a legacy (if I’m lucky enough to even get called out of the 8-10 thousand applications they have on file), I’m not sure I want to be stuck as an FO for the forseeable future. So I see Ameriflight as an opportunity to break into the civilian/FAR 135 world as PIC, and see where life leads me next... perhaps into a 135 corporate or fractional job, or perhaps other possibilities I don’t even know about yet. I’m sure there will be good networking opportunities, and in general I think it will be good exposure to the civilian world after all my military experience. I’ve told a few AF co-workers that there’s opportunities out there that most of us don’t even know about because we’re not exposed to it during our military experience. The mind-set seems to be “do your AF time then go to the majors... or the regionals while you’re waiting for the majors to call”. So here’s a different path to explore to see what else might be out there.
