I'm not aware of any housing arrangements that AMF is doing. Most of the folks so far have come in and done their FO flying at the base they will eventually be assigned to as a captain. The ones I have dealt with already were living at their assigned bases. The only exception is a guy currently in training as a metro FO who lives in DFW but may need to do his flying (at least initially) in BUR because, while we have 2 specified metro runs in DFW we currently have no captains to fly them. The captain for one is also in this same class but the FO will be out on the line a few weeks before the captain completes training.
After you reach 1200 hours you will train as a captain in a BE99 and then transition to captain in the aircraft you did your FO flying in after a couple hundred hours.
So if you get a position as a FO in EMB120, once you hit 1200 hours you will be trained as a captain in a BE99 until you reach 1400/1500 hours and then come back to BRA as a captain?
I thought it would take years flying BE99 or other equipment until you get a chance in EMB due to seniority list. That means you can work at Ameriflight and basically fly just the BRA if you want to?
Thanks.
