Default Ameriflight Equipment in PDX? SEA?

Does anyone know which and how many turbine aircraft are based in PDX and SEA?

Thanks.

99's and Metros, and maybe even a 1900 at one point.

Default Ameriflight - 1st airframe?

Do all new hires at Ameriflight start on a piston twin, or do some go straight to a T-prop?

Default Some clue

Hiya
PDX is essentially a piston multi base, C-402s though we're apparently looking to go all turbine. Most everywhere else is turbine though Pheonix also has PA 31s. Be-99s are the turbine entry level aircraft, with metros as the upgrade and 1900s as well. Interestingly, getting the 99 is apparently not based on total multi time, but moreso total turbine time. I had 350 C208 hours and 60 piston multi hours and got the 99, go figure.

So if I want to fly the T-props for Ameriflight, I should first find a Caravan (or similar) gig? I'll probably have 300+ multi hours (but 0 turbine) by the time I have 135 mins.

How fast can be the transition from piston to turbine, in BUR...?
I also heard that most of amflight pilots last less than a year..so..is that a factor to upgrade a/c.?

thanks..
