I have heard lots of talks of flow agreements but the details have not been released from AMF that I have seen. Seems weird that they wouldn't immediately release the details on how long and what qualifications it would take to walk through the door at AMF, to then get to Frontier and Allegiant.
We have them internally on our pilot portal. I'm sure the recruiting department is happy to tell prospects all about the flows.
- 24 months of employment at Ameriflight.
- 2500 total time. Which will consist of 1500 hours to ATP and 1000 hrs in type rated equipment.
- A letter of recommendation from the VP of Flight or Chief Pilot.
- Be in good standing with Ameriflight in regards to financial obligations and/or agreements.
- Completed a satisfactory review by Allegiant of attendance,
- dependability, reliability, training records and disciplinary action records.
- Meet all of Allegiant’s standard new-hire corporate employment
- provisions.
- Have not failed any checking events within in the previous 18 months.
- Have satisfactorily completed an Ameriflight checking event (initial or recurrent) within 90 days of the anticipated class date.
The frontier one is similar. In all fairness, I do not think a lot of the pilots here see any of these flows as the best way to get to the career they hope for. However, for some of the guys who stuck through the good times and bad - this may be a nice treat. These flows have quite a bit of hoops to jump through to make them work.
