Box hauler makes good points. I might add that you are also the meteorologist, hazmat specialist, fueler, customs specialist and customer service rep.

You will be faced with IFR flight with no flight director or autopilot, often to mins and more missed approaches than you will see the rest of your career. Although RNAV is becoming more ordinary today, there are still plenty of NDB approaches and VOR's out there for the secondary and small community airports. Needless to say, your interview sim checks from now on will be no brainers!

I had a couple af fantastic years at Ameriflight in the Metro. It was by far the most rewarding and challenging flying I have done. The nice thing at AMF was that alot of guys started in a Piper Lance and worked there way up through BE-99's, -1900's and Metro's. No change in employer, health benefits or uniforms. If you are more af a transient, you might be able to advance faster by swapping companies but 135's aren't always stable.

Good luck!
