This question is aimed at AMF, Airnet, Ram Air, etc. Do your companies give you an ATP if you have the qualifications when going through new hire training. I ask because its probably gonna be a while before they hire below ATP mins again.

AMF and ATP's
At AMF getting an ATP as a result of new hire training is a "Not a Chance" ... why would a new employer improve your resume beyond their needs for a new hire. Are you kidding.
Although AMF doesn't fly cargo Learjets any more, even those captains didn't need an ATP. Their (most senior) passenger jet captains, YES. Cargo jet captains, NO (although they all have them). AMF will provide you with an ATP after a year or two working as a PA31 or BE99 pilot ... If you're looking for a way to get someone to pay for your ATP, look elsewhere. TransMach |
If your bonded by a contract why wouldn't they give you the ATP if you wanted it. A type ride is esentially the same.

That's what I was thinking, don't you have to perform to ATP standards for the 135 ride anyways?
If they won't, take the written and rent a twin, take the ride and you'll have the ATP. Everything else is just an add-on. From my experience, most insurance carriers at legit operations require and ATP. Bottom line, a type ride is the same as an ATP ride wether you're in a Duchess or and Airbus. (Straight out of the FAA PTS) Why would you want to put a type on a commercial cert anyway? pretty useless. |

I'm just wondering if anyone else has heard anything. Also looking for suggestions on what the next step should be. (ie. email him the same stuff again, email him saying I am still interested, send in my stuff normally, etc.) My times are 1450TT 400ME and i'm currently a CFI.
If not, you may have risked alienating the ACP\CP by going around the normal App process and perhaps he did not appreciate receiving an email from a stranger, let alone a job applicant.. Think about it.? He was not made aware of your contacting him. I would be cautious about doing it again. Find someone that works there and is willing to vouch for you and walk in your resume. Good luck to you, |

Does Ameriflight have GPS in their planes? Or are they still using ADF's?

I am fairly certain that AMF does not have any inention of making the ATP a requirement for being hired for the PA31- frankly, most people who have an ATP don't want to deal with flying a Chieftain!

Any other AMF poolees going to class next week?
|
and also, for the poeple who did get a class, how many hours do you have and qualifications. im just curious to see how far down the pool list i really am.
|
Friend of mine is going to be in next weeks class. He is right around 135 mins. Not sure how much Multi he has.
|
3500TT, 2000ME, ATP, 3 EMB Types.
|
what bases were you guys hired in and what eqp?
|
PA-31 Open Domicile is all they're doing now.
|
please don't tell me you wouldn't fly for Ameriflight just because they don't have a GPS.... if you need a GPS everywhere you go, then you need to learn how to fly. :rolleyes:
|
I have an interview coming up with AMF in SLC. Does anyone have any specific interview info for that location?
Thx. |
So how are things going at AMF? East of the Mississippi with Airnet things are creeping along as good as this economy will allow, so I was just curious how out west is doing. Hoping to move back out there if things turn better and Ameriflight could use a slob on the payroll.

Are you sure? I sent in an online application about a month ago and updated it not too long ago and got nothing back. Not that I am that high time or anything. 1750TT, 700 multi, 7 Navajo, 75 C-208. I am thinking that maybe if I can get around 100 hours in the Navajo I will be more marketable for SEA, PDX, or anywhere within 5 hours or Central Washington. Hoping against hope to get back there and set up shop. I guess I am not in a huge rush, Airnet pays a nomad like myself pretty good with awesome travel bennies. Just sucks being at least a two leg/1000mile commute from any friends or family:(

Has anyone else had any issues when trying to send your completed application to Ameriflight?
I spent a good 30-45 minutes putting all my times in, and when I submitted my application the next page on internet explorer came up as an error page. I tried several times, but each time the app would successfully go through :confused:. |

Same thing! I figured it was a time thing, becasue it took me a while to add everything up and break stuff down for 12 mo times etc. I copied and pasted the whole page into microsoft word and then tried again. I got interrupted and same thing. So I did it once more in 5 min and it went through. Try to do it under 10 min and it should work!
I would contact the recruiting hotline and see if they have an app they can email for you to print and fax in. I had the same issue back in the day, and that is how I got around it. Good luck. |
Thanks guys, I feel better that I wasn't the only one having issues.

I did it a few days ago. Has anyone heard anything yet? |

I would look into them real good before going to fly there. (start be researching some other threads on here about the problems that AMF especially in SLC has had) Then go talk to the FSDO.
Did you fly at AMF? If he goes to the FSDO what do you think they are going to tell him? Don't let your experiences or stories you've heard speak for an entire company. |
Do you guys file a new flight plan each time you fly, or since you do the same route a lot, does the company have candid routes for you to file?

Yeah, I was going to say, there is probably no way you could get an SLC base to start with at Ameriflight. Lately they've been hiring to PHX, OAK, and PDX. They seem to be sending a lot to PDX.

Anybody who has been invited to the PHX interviews care to share what their time is? Just want an idea on whats competitive these days.
|

|
I was under the impression that we won't be hearing from them for interview slots until the deadline is up on the 7th of July.
