Highly unlikely. There will be plenty of movement on the inside with people starting to leave. If you want turbine you will have to fly the mighty Chieftain for a few months. With the attrition level starting to rise you will most likely be in the Chieftain for a few months before you get in a 99. To get in a 99 you will most likely have to move, and I would say forget about the 1900 or Metro. To many senior people in the company willing to move for those.
Good Luck. Thanks! Looks like I might have to suck it up in the Chieftan. Although that's a pretty cool plane too! Nothing like a couple of turbo'd Lycomings singing through the night! |

Dunno anything about your previous experience, but going through AMFs PA-31 program and develop your skills in that aircraft, will greatly prepare you to fly the 99 and others. Chieftain is a challenging airplane to fly.

I am a very pro-active person and really look ahead to what i want to do with my career. I have been on and off the AMF trip quite a bit. (Corp vs. 135 vs. 121). In terms of family life... how is AMF? I really like the idea of AMF and the equipment they fly, but moving to the west coast on one income with a kid and wife is next to impossible, and undesireable. Is this a single mans job? I would love to work for a company such as AMF but the QOL for a married man with a 5 month old looks rough

Outstations are a totally different animal. You live in your outstation, and spend nights in base. You're week starts Monday evenings and generally run to Saturday Mornings. You then get the rest of Saturday through Monday evenings off, but during the week you sleep in a different bed either at a crew apartment or hotel. |
Depends on how much your wife can handle. I was single for part of my AMF life and it was easier on the budget/lifestyle. However the ROI with AMF is a good one. Majority of people move on to charter/air ambulance/aerial firefighting etc. Go the Regional route, its generally the game plan to go onto majors or similar. Can't speak for all 135 ops, but its generally a challenge to go from that to flying air ambulance and probably some charters. Single pilot IFR skills are a thing to highlight on a resume.
