FYI, they have first officers on some runs whose designated tasks are what you ask of them (paperwork, unloading, etc...). So if you do decide to take a job with AMF after your recovery, you may be able to work out something with the assistant chief pilot of your base to always have an FO on board - that way, you don't run the risk of getting hurt.

I agree with the other replies though, definitely take it easy until you're back up to strength, AMF opportunities will still exist when you get better. Most UPS runs have you loading/offloading at the out stations, DHL runs are about 50/50 for both the outstation and main base, and FedEx is the opposite (you hardly ever touch a box).

On the whole for all box loading, you'll always have someone to load for you at the main base (if you want them to), but the outstation is where you'll have to do the offloading/uploading. Some main bases won't let you touch a package at all, it just depends on where you go.

When you get to bigger equipment (the metro, 1900, and 120), you don't load or offload anything from what I understand.

Good luck in your recovery! Feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding AMF
