Hi, all!
Hoping to clear a few things up!
Hoping to clear a few things up!
- The UPS/Ameriflight agreement is not considered a flow through. It's a gateway program.
- It's only open to UPS Airlines Intern Program participants. Here's how it will work: Pilot goes through UPS intern program, then to Ameriflight, then to UPS Airlines.
- Currently, there are two pilots training at AMF in the gateway program.
- While the majority of our pilots cannot be in the program (since the majority of our pilots are not in the UPS intern program), this is certainly a positive program for all of our pilots. The program will provide both airlines with more flight crew personnel and for Ameriflight pilots, yes, that means more time off. Our goal is to get all of our pilots on a 4 on, 3 off schedule. The program also opens the door to future programs with UPS that will be available for every AMF pilot.
- The press release/memo on page 1 of this thread only announces the program. The actual signed agreement is 7 pages long and lays out clear time and hour requirements in order to define the career path.

It is safe to assume UPS initiated this program, not Ameriflight...but that it can serve as a win/win for both companies.
Not sure what is so difficult to understand, or why you seem to have such interest in beating this thing to death...

Once the interns are selected for employment with AMF, they will go through our hiring process, training process, and will be released to fly the line as AMF pilots. Before they can go onto to UPS Airlines, they'll need to be ATP qualified, type-rated with an additional 1500 hours turbine PIC and 30 months flying the line. They also must have a recommendation and meet the UPS First Officer requirements.
