[email protected]. That'll at least get you on her radar!
Keep an eye out at
www.ameriflight.com/careers. That's where our new positions will show up! Also, if you have an Instagram, we typically post on our IG Stories when we have an FO opening since it's such a hot commodity.
We typically have our regular FO openings every two or so months as our current FOs upgrade. Sometimes more often. For example, we had three in December, one in January, and one in February.
Yes, you can be overqualified in a way. If you are closer to 750 TT, we'd want to put you in our ACP FO program instead of the regular FO program. If you are closer to 1,100 TT, we would want you to just gain the 100 needed to come in as a direct entry Captain. It kind of just depends on where you're at!
Hope that helps!
[MENTION=57014]FreightDogs[/MENTION], thanks again! I'll start getting stuff together and shoot that email out.
I did discover the careers page while I was waiting for a reply!
Good to know about being overqualified. If I'm not mistaken, the ACP time does NOT count towards ATP, but the EMB FO time does, correct?
[MENTION=51616]Rubb[/MENTION]erducky. You bring up a good point.
I don't have any specific preference for bases yet. Does anyone have any opinions on where the best EMB FO bases are? Do any hire more often than others? At which bases do FOs accrue hours quickly? Which are the slowest?
