AMF is not quick turbine PIC. You don't get much time per day, the schedule sucks, and the pay is terrible.

Either go to a operator where they fly your ass off (so the hell won't last so long) or somewhere with better QOL (a good regional).

AMF is having trouble finding pilots. No, it isn't some hidden gem that you have found... there is a reason for this. There are 402 ops in the same regions offering 50k/yr for 135 qualified pilots... why would you go fly for AMF for less then half?

How does moving thousands of pounds in and out of the back of the plane sound every day? You are hunched over the entire time moving 80# boxes from the front to the back while you sweat it out in 100+ degree wx. It is always nice when they send you the 110# UPS driver lady so that you have absolutely no help the whole time. How about waking up from a dead sleep to go to work at 4am every day... and at 4pm. Somehow with all those naps it never seems to add up to 8 hrs. How about walking around some small town trying to run a simple errand like going to the bank. Remember, you won't have a car and you will never be at home during normal business hours. Good luck cashing that check.
