Pdx,is mainly a chiefton base, I think there is a few turbine aircraft but it takes years to upgrade at that base. That's how it has been anyway.

Thanks for the info, I'd love to be able to stick around there (great snowboarding nearby) but I understand I may have to relocate to transition to the 99.

The last two that transitioned to the 99 in PDX were in base for at least 2.5-3 years. Plan on getting comfortable there before you get in the 99. If you want it sooner you would have to move.

Does AMF still fly in to Mammoth Lakes? If so, can you jumpseat if you work for SWA?

We don't fly to Mammoth anymore. The closest we get to now is Bishop, CA. Yes, if you are a pilot for SWA you can jumpseat with us.

Suggest you go to Ameriflight.com and read all about it. If you troll around the website, it tells you everything you need to know about the interview and hiring process.

This refers to Kingdover's post on 1-14

Also, should I have my logbook, licenses, etc handy while on the phone?

Go to Ameriflight.com on the Internet and troll around the website. It will tell you everything you need to know about the hiring process, including what you need to bring with you.

I was just going to ask if the questions listed on this gouge(http://mypilotcareer .com/ameriflight-interview-gouge) were still current because I have an interview in 2 weeks in Burbank.
And for those of you asking about the telephone interview

Why Ameriflight?
What are your career goals for the next 5 years?
Are you willing to re-locate?
What do you like about your current job?
What do you dislike about your current job?

And I'm sure I'm missing one or two. Somehow the conversation lasted an hour but a lot of it was her talking about ameriflight. Overall just a nice friendly conversation.
