I left AmeriJet recently with the schedule being a major factor in that decision. As AmeriJet stands now it really depends on if you are going to be a commuter or if you are going to live in MIA. As a commuter I only did the temp base lines, which are 16 day trips. It was actually the best QOL I could get in my situation. The two months I had to be based at MIA out of training was awful as a commuter and I wasn’t home much. However if you live in MIA and can hold MIA flying it can be a much different company. AmeriJet has a lot of potential, but they looked to be moving more and more to the long ACMI type trips and no movement in pay or QOL while I was there, even with the continued promises that it was coming. The 757s are coming online but I bet the MIA flying will go senior. Many are happy there, upgrade is quick, but I would expect to be gone 16 days a time after training. If that won’t work for your family I would consider somewhere else.
Appreciate your insights!

I have been following the fleet on flightradar24 to get a feel for the flying AJT is doing. You mentioned the temp bases lines, are you referring to the DHL flying out of CVG? Every day (night) seems the same with a few destinations, AUS, IAH, DEN, SLC, EWR to MCO, then ONT to PHL and back, SAC to PHL and back to name a few. Noticed a few CVG to MIA too. If you bid for temp base lines, do you get to do any MIA flying at all, or is it 16 days of the same round trips?
Appreciate your insights!

Hey guys,
Could someone that actually work at Amerijet please tell me what an FO makes on average per month, and how many hours is the norm?
Is the upgrade time less than 1 year presently, and what is the first year Captain salary on average
Many thanks

FOs can make anywhere from $6k to almost $15k, inclusive of per diem, in a month. The $6k is basically guarantee with per diem. You'd need to either work a lot or work the system to hit that $15k number, but it's not impossible. About 80 hours for pay is probably average with the current incentive pay (150% for unrostered flying and everything over 60 hours credit) and that can usually be done with only 50-55 hours of block time.
