It seems that AMF is always advertising for PA31 pilots in PHX and ABQ (IFR as well as VFR, I'm not sure). Why? Is it because, as you say, pilots get their 1,200 hours and then move onto something like a B99? Or is there anything about the PA31 PHX and ABQ runs that people do not like?
The VFR PA31 program (in PHX and ABQ) is somewhat of a pipeline program to get you moved into either bigger equipment in our system or at the very least onto an IFR route with the PA31.
Pay for the BE99 and PA31 is equal.

All of our EMB-120's are equipped with a Garmin 420W. However, no one in the system is approved to shoot any GPS approaches as the sim training we received does not have a GPS and we do not do any in-aircraft training or checking for the GPS.
It's basically a tool to allow you direct routing and to provide increased situational awareness.
AMF as a whole does not use an EFB. Hope you like updating Jepps manually, because you will be doing it a lot.
