Not having been down in BUR for a while, I don't know what the current hiring practices are- but if you aren't close enough to easily fill out the 135 mins during flight training, it might not work out, unless they have a Training Captain slot to fill. Training time isn't revenue time, so we're only governed by Part 91 and our Ops Specs there.
For those of you that haven't figured it out...AMF will hire you at say 900 hours, have you train another pilot that has 1200 hours (and most likely 300 hours as a "training captain" at AMF) and then when you make it to 1200 hours you'll be trained by another pilot with less hours than you that has been with the company a whopping 4 weeks and expect that his training will bring you up to 135 standards.
Makes sense to them.
