AMF EMB Bases and Upgrades
What are the AMF EMB Bases? How do the upgrades work at AMF? Do the most senior pilots get to bid on any base and any plane or does seniority go base by base? How long would you guess to be PIC on the EMB?
Thanks in advance.

AMF EMB Bases
Fedex Dreamer,
AMF EMB bases are Santa Maria, CA (SMX), Addison, TX (ADS), Dallas, TX (DFW), and Charlottesville, VA (CHO). We have about 7 BROs and looking to get more.
As for PIC, it all depends on how long the Captains decide to stay around. Pretty much any pilot in the company can bid for a base or route just the most senior person who bids it will get it.

If you got in at AMF then everything gets posted to the company before it goes to the street. As an AMF pilot you can submit your bid. One of my colleagues (metro cpt) just got a TX BRO CPT position.

Yes, I believe there are five BROs in Texas. One or two of them are outstations (ADS and AMA I believe) and the others are based in DFW. As for the turnover, the FOs usually stay until the Captain leaves so they can get the left seat. Some of the BRO captains have been here awhile. AMF is still looking for a BRO FO for Charlottesville, VA (CHO)
