I agree mostly.

A lot of us have some decent academic credos. We just don't whip those credentials out at work. Also a lot of engineers, doctors, etc. are less academic than we may think when we look behind the curtains. I do think that we have lower academic barriers to entry. More depends on whether you can afford to learn to fly, afford to move for a job, etc. than whether you test into a school. Even here, we have to consider preferential selection to some schools that have very high tuition costs and proportionately low median ACT scores. Then there are institutions that turn a blind eye to academic impropriety conducted by high-paying foreign students, etc. So I'm not sure if I buy that one group is less able than another.

I think it's more that official and unofficial pressures foul-up selection and training in our industry. This is why it's important to have a unionized labor, effective standards and decentralized or at least distributed enforcement.

It’s pitiful that inept management would rather cancel or turn down trips rather than paying a premium to put money in the coffers. Stepping over a dollar to pick up a penny. Yeah… the owners should be real proud of their management and their style.

There is 60+ pages on this forum on information about this place. What hasn’t been said to warn people of Amerijet?
For a few months people here were raving about this “contract” and how it was just about ready to be signed, and alas, what I predicted happens.
Where are the posters who kept raving about amerijet at? No where to be found.

You might call management pitiful and whatnot but they are actually doing their jobs. They are using pitifully low wages to secure contracts and make the top money.
I just wonder why people keep flocking to this place with the promise of a TA that’s NOT going to happen.
I blame the pilots that keep flocking to AJT and allowing management to keep kicking the can down the road.

Lots of people here kept suggesting to pilots to go to other airlines. If they would have listened, they would be almost at second year pay at other outfits as first officers making more than a 10 year captain at this hole.

I'm shocked - shocked - that there was bad information going around in the APC forums. Who has ever heard of such a thing?

Default Am I Hireable

Hello,

I've recently heard some great things about Amerijet and that people are generally happy and get to fly with great people. That's really what i'm looking for and it checks the boxes for what i'd like to fly and good pay in my eyes. I'm submitting my application, but what's my chances of getting hires. 1600TT, 250 Jet part 135, 450 Multi, no ATP or CTP completed. Anyone get hired without an ATP?

I do like the company and at this point i'd be willing to pay for my ATP-CTP course. Curious what people in here think of my chances of getting an interview or advice on what I should do?

Thanks!

😂🤣😂🤣
What Great things have you heard about AmeriJet and from who?
Whoever is telling you “great things about AmeriJet, is lying to your very face. Don’t let those guys to fool you

No more %150 Overtime, contract is in the Limbo, Miami is not a “Home Base”

With so many guys quitting Amerijet, they will hire anyone with a pulse.

Come to AmeriJet, get the 767 Type and QUIT

The same Amerijet that used to hand their crew a 5 gallon bucket for a lavatory on the 727? That great company?
