Only thing I can think of is EYW is very weight limited for the runway. Otherwise, there is no policy thing I can think of that would keep them from authorizing you on the jump seat for the flight. |

If we're carrying a lot of bags, and/or if there is a lot of weather (which tends to happen in FL this time of year) and we have to file an alternate with lots of extra fuel it can certainly put us to where we max out on weight.

Do you need to meet Part 121.436 in order to upgrade? thanks for those who will answer. --- 3.5 weeks of ground school, 3-4 weeks to complete flat panel training and sim training (six sessions each), the about 1-2 weeks of OE. --- AFW pilots also have to do a 500 differences course (training is in the 600) which takes one day of ground and 3 sim sessions - Due to cargo configuration, flights are 1.5 to 2 hours away, you sit for about 1.5 to 2 hours to unload/load, then fly back - Current routes: flights from AFW to - Des Moines, Kansas City, Mobile, and Omaha. - All 121 operations require you to meet times listed in 122.436 to upgrade, regardless of passenger or cargo ops. |
AFW Cargo side
For those in the AFW:
How many hours do you guys fly in a month on average? Is it true you guys get an additional living allowance for being based in AFW? Do you see any slow down on the Amazon load factor in the coming months? |

Do you see any slow down on the Amazon load factor in the coming months? Yes, we get a $300 monthly housing allowance. The load factor varies a lot, even day to day, but I don't see it slowing down overall. |

- Training footprint is the same regardless of where you are based at first:
--- 3.5 weeks of ground school, 3-4 weeks to complete flat panel training and sim training (six sessions each), the about 1-2 weeks of OE. --- AFW pilots also have to do a 500 differences course (training is in the 600) which takes one day of ground and 3 sim sessions - Due to cargo configuration, flights are 1.5 to 2 hours away, you sit for about 1.5 to 2 hours to unload/load, then fly back - Current routes: flights from AFW to - Des Moines, Kansas City, Mobile, and Omaha. - All 121 operations require you to meet times listed in 122.436 to upgrade, regardless of passenger or cargo ops. AFW: Are cargo operations operated under 121 or 135? If 121, then that means a crew member upon reaching his/her 65th birthday for now, would have to come off of the flight deck...correct? atp |
