The Am-flight profile on APC says that the B-1900 drivers make 3370 per month which would be just over 40,000 per year / 777.00 per week (gross). With these numbers, the 950 doesn't really add up. If it was bi-weekly, then it would be to low if the 40,000 per year is correct on the profile, and if it was weekly, then it would be to high, so I am a bit confused. I really like their schedule, and I love the location that they are offering, but I can't justify taking that big of a pay cut. So, basically my question is, is the 950 mentioned before bi-weekly or weekly and is it net or gross.

The $960 amount is what you can plan on as take home, so after taxes and benefits (i.e. health care, dental, life insurance and 10% 401K) This is every two weeks. The amount on APC or the 3300 per month is based on 40 units a week for 1 month. This is what you are promised. Also Scjfly is right about the schedule, plan on 2 hrs flight time per day with a 10 hr layover. Back home late evenings. Personally, I don't know why you are giving up a citation seat for a 1900. I'm sure if you stuck with your company they would type you and sometime you would be sitting left seat. But hey, what ever floats your boat.

I fly Monday night through Thursday night. I'm blocking on average 5.7 hours of turbine (Metro) a day. I'm also a training captain in the metro so when I train I'm paid time and a half which works outs around $33 an hour. If I was blocking 2 hours a day, AND I wasn't happy...I'd leave. It wouldn't be worth my time to sit in a hotel unless I was attending school or had another gig.
Nobody in management at Ameriflight is holding a gun to any pilots head to stay. And they do not chase down pilots who break the 'integrity' contract. They all know it holds no water, they just hope that pilots they do hire and train have some integrity and finish out a meager year commitment.
The grass can always be greener but....It is what YOU make it...If you don't like it...please leave.

95% of the runs at AMF are low time. The pay is terrible till you get typed, and then it simply becomes sub industry standard for the responsibility you are given and the aircraft you are flying. Right now some flight instructors get paid more then an AMF metro pilot.

Sweet gig Bukowski. I am sure plenty are envious of your schedule/pay/QOL. Do the guys who don't know what AMF is like a favor and be honest about what their life/pay/schedule will be like for their first two to three years with the company.
