I have been at Ameriflight for just a couple of months. They hire instructors to be part 91 trainers. When you get your 1200 hours you get right in a turboprop and off you go. At least they pay you while you are flight instructing. My instructor was just coming up to 1200 hours and was already qualified in the 99. I think he is going to SLC or it might have been BFI. This seems like a way better way than AirNet's FO program.
Like anything else there are mutiple paths to get to the same destination. Who knows which is best?
