1) Does anyone know what the deal with Wiggins / Ameriflight is? I heard AMF bought WIG in 2014. When I see open positions for MHT on the AMF site it refers to Wiggins. I live closest to MHT at the moment.

2) I would like to start on the BE99 and move into the 1900 or even Metro (I hear they make more $ in the metro?) If I were to move to DFW could I train there, start in the BE99 and move up to the bigger aircraft without relocating? I'd really like to stay at a base and not have to move several times.

3) Is a 4 year degree required? I have an associates in aviation science but currently half way thru my bachelors in business at night.

4) Could I become a training captain to make a little extra $? What's involved and how long would it take to become one?

5) I make about $85K a year now between my truck driving & flight instructing. Is making close to that after 2-3 years unrealistic at AMF?

I'm really looking at AMF as a career move for me. Not just to get some turbine pic and leave after 6 months. For some reason the airlines have never really interested me. I'd really like to move into a captains position on the 1900 or metro and eventually the Embraer. Maybe end up in the Carribean if they have some runs down there.

Anyway, any input you guys would be appreciated.. thanks!
