Does the airline provided transportation to BUR? And are you responsible for your own hotel while in training?

Thanks again for any and all replies.

I just came here and this is a great place. Entry level pay is now at 28000 for the PA31 and BE99. Before I came here I did not know about the pending pay raise. If you are willing to move, it seems you can get an opportunity for something bigger fairly fast. As I have said in other posts the pilot management at Ameriflight is the very best. The ACP at my base says the VP is a fighter for the pilots and that everyone in the flight departemnt respects him. I think good leadership makes all the difference.

You should call Sylvia or Joanie in pilot recruiting. I just filled out the online application and was called for an interview in two days. A friend who also applied was not hired so they don't hire everyone.

Let me know if I can help further.

Everyone starts over in BUR in the Chieftain and transitions are between 3-9 months to the Be99 depending on our turnover/company needs. However, the junior lines trend to ONT. So, the possibility of holding a line in ONT can often quickly after transitioning into the 99. But be warned, you will be expected to commute to BUR as well if the schedule dictates; be mentally and physically prepared for that.

Badkharma: I got your PM, I'll be sending you that email.
