135 cargo is a gamble. Yea you get valuable experience but to what end? Most pilot I would assume do not stick around for the 1900, metro so the ability for them to be hired at a major is greatly decreased. They'll go to a regional and their back to sqaure one, so what is the point of going to a 135 cargo? Some guys are describing upgrade from piper to b99 to the metro like it's peanuts but behind that there is a great sacrifice that takes time and hardship. I guess you have to answer the question whether you are in it for the PIC or are you in it to have a life?
I have a problem because I have free living near BUR and I could pay back the loans and save money if I just got job at AMF. If I have to commute or worse be forced to live at base at a regional, it's certainly going to take more time paying back the loans. However I don't see myself in that kind of flying long term for the reasons I stated in the first paragraph. Any tips from current Amf pilots?
