Amflight might be trying to put better filters on their applicants. My interview (over the phone) was a joke. They didnt ask any questions aside from what I had already answered on the application about flight times, etc. Indoc class had 6 or 7 guys in the 99, a few metros and a 1900 guy. The 1900 guy even worked for AMF before and didnt pass indoc. Only half of the 99 pilots made it to line training. I’m not sure what happened to the metro guys after MEICC week but none of them (one of which was retired from AAL) got checked out and made the seniority list. If they are trying to reduce the washout rate I think raising the multi requirement is a step in the right direction. They waste all kinds of money on folks that never fly the line and it hurts the company.
Quality time is needed to fly at AMF. Everyone should learn during training but its an airline not a flight school. If someone is looking to make the jump from 1200-1500 hours towards their ATP, they are better off flying a caravan somewhere else.
