Hi, there!

Your hours look good for a BE99 position and they're pretty close to a BE1900 position.
What is your PIC time? That'll differentiate between the two.
How much of the instrument is in the aircraft? Actual and hood together.

We have positions open in at our ONT base and would love to have you apply for one!

Hi, there!

It depends.
How much PIC time do you have?
And what kind of significant turboprop experience are we talking? How much? Which aircraft? What kind of flying?

Safe flying! :)

Not worried about vacation pay I know I would be a new employee but would lose a bunch of money if I can’t go non refundable and all. But I would hate to have to wait until mid April to apply.

Anyone know what their policy would be for something like this?

Hi, Lynn!

I would say to go ahead and apply for sure!
As long as we know about the time you need off and you're out of training, you can totally take it (non-paid unfortunately).
Training is typically 6 weeks, so we'll need to try to get you in our January class if possible.
But as far as simply applying, yes, go for it!

Let me know if you have any other questions!

I have heard Ameriflight isn’t really compatible with commuting. Are there openings in BFI? I have a house in the Seattle area so moving is not really an option. Or somewhere else that I could commute from Seattle.

I have 1540 TT
Part 135 pt to pt 647.6
PIC 1405.7
IFR actual 25.5
IFR hood time 109.6
Multi 50.2
Night 75.0
SEL, SES, MEL, COMM, INST, CFI

Yeah, commuting isn't real easy. Particularly since most of our runs operate M-F or even Monday evening through Saturday morning.

FreightDogs can better answer the question of BFI openings specifically. Looking at your times, you're still about 25 hours short of 135 requirements for night time. We can probably get you 10-15 of that during training. And while your total and PIC time would lean toward a 1900 or possibly metro, you multi time probably will mean you would need to start out in a BE99.

Hi!

We only have one EMB120 route in Puerto Rico.
The route you'll be on in Aguadilla gets 100+ hours per month.
It's stunning, no doubt!

Javichu 12-12-2017 06:13 AM

Oh wow, that sounds awesome :)

I hope electricity is finally back in Aguadilla :-)

Here is our preferred mins for the 1900: 1,800 TT, 250 ME, 500 XC (defined as point to point), 100 night, 1,000 PIC, 100 instrument, 100 Turbine, 121 or 135 experience

Your PIC, Turbine, and ME hours would trump the 200 TT extra we "want" you to have for the 1900. You're looking very good for a 1900 Captain position! So really the only question left is what type of aircraft have you been flying and what kind of flying have you been doing? Also what aircraft did you fly while gaining your PIC and what type of flying while gaining PIC?
Feel free to send me a PM if you'd prefer not to discuss in public!

Typically, we want pilots to have an hour or less of a daily commute.
As for living far from a base, that's only an option for Home-Based Captains. They can live anywhere and will be placed throughout the system where needed. The schedule is different. Since you do live near BFI, you wouldn't be eligible for the Home-Based Captain positions. We'd want you based at BFI.

It looks like you're right on par with a BE99 position! And luckily, there are BE99 openings at BFI! (We don't have any reqs open on our site, but if you apply we can move your application to it.)

Let me know if you have any other questions!

B1900
 
Looking to get back in the game, have 5000 hours in the 1900 with 4000 as PIC. On the east coast and would be interested in Home Based option, initially. How often are classes running?

Would you start a new thread about this with more details. I just read the press release, but it’s pretty vague. Thanks!

What is the typical schedule one could expect? I been under the impression that it's 2-weeks on/2-weeks off, is this still the case?

If you are a home based captain, the schedule is 2 on/2 off/2 on/1 off.

If you are at a base, it will be some semblance of M-F or M PM/Sa AM.

colonials13 12-14-2017 08:57 PM

Hey would any E-120 FOs Ameriflight be willing to talk about the FO program concerning your experiences, schedule, quality of life, etc? Also, is it possible to commute?

Thanks,
Bryan

sebito 12-14-2017 09:11 PM

Hello! Like Bryan, I also would love to hear from an Amflight FO. Also what are the Brasilia bases and which ones have openings for FOs?

Thank you,
Sebastian

Happy Holiday's and safe flying to all!

It's a preferred interview. I don't know exact times, but if you are hired as a 1200 IFR Captain, it will be a couple of years. The main issue is time required as a type rated captain.

Curious if any opportunity for guy like me here. Live 5 min from DFW airport. 2700TT about 850 multi most of that multi turbine SIC. 135 Current as a sim instructor. Any help appreciated.

What is your multi time in? Do you have 135 time in actual flying and not just sim instructor?

Yes I have previous 135 and 121. Multi time is SF340 and DHC-8. I'm not including SIM time in the numbers I posted.
