Is there a way I could get my resume sent to the recruiter at the Ameriflight online jobs website or would it be good idea for me to stop by the base ops at PDX to chat with the station manager about pilot opportunity and drop the resume there?
Thanks for your tips.
There are a lot of candidates in the pipeline for First Officer positions. It's still possible to get hired as a First Officer, but we are hiring on a limited basis as our current FOs upgrade to Captain. Two new FOs started with us last Monday.
With the abundance of qualified Captain candidates, we're not hiring for the Accelerated Captain Program. We had been slowing that down before all of this and now even more so.
Absolutely! You can send your resume to
[email protected] - that'll get to all of our pilot recruiters. Or you can email our Lead Pilot Recruiter directly.

I would not advise stopping by a base. All AMF facilities are closed to visitors until further notice as a COVID precaution. Additionally, the base managers are not involved in the hiring of pilots. They would hopefully get your resume to our recruiters, but better to send it directly.
Hope that helps!
