I interviewed today. Lately everyone got send to PDX, followed by OAK for PA31. I think there are a few turbine routes in PHX going down to Piston. There is an outstation run open right now. If you want to work at AMF, you got to be willing to relocate, and they will ask you during the interview if you are willing to relocate. As a pilot, you just go to go where the job is. I think I've relocated to a different state almost every year for the past 4-5 years.

Sorry for being naive, but what exactly do you mean that there's an outstation run open?

I can't remember exactly, but I think the run is Safford-Phoenix-Safford?, somone correct me if I am wrong. I guess you would be based in Safford and live there.

I have a very strong preference for Phoenix but if I need to go to Portland for a few months that will be ok with me. He asked if I had a preference and I told him Phoenix or Dallas but he said that either one would pretty much be impossible at the moment.

I wonder why some of us were told PHX was not available while others were told they are available.

Let me know if anyone here about the interviews in PHX.

Still not true. We have updated to AISR. Which yes the software files automatically everyday. But The center which has the Flight plans on file has to update to accept AISR, not all centers have caught up. There for they still have the center stored on file. First to update was SLC then DEN then BFI then ZLA not everyone is up to date. We have all flight plans filed on AISR as well as center stored so when the center finally updates its a smooth transition. Until then two flight planes become available for the flight the one AISR sends and the center stored one.

Wait till time changes, Remember that?

Is Ameriflight hiring for SDF or CVG base?

They are hiring for PDX, OAK, and maybe PHX.

Thank you.

Not as of right now, and only for the 1900/SA227/Brasilia.

Thanks, again.

Outstation runs mean you domicile away from base, at the end of the run. It's primarily so you don't have to reposition for Monday and Saturday runs- you would leave the outstation on Monday afternoon carrying cargo to the hub, stay there overnight, and fly back to your home in the morning. Spend all day at home, then fly to the hub at night. On Saturday morning you fly back home to the outstation and are off until Monday afternoon. Pay is still 40 units unless otherwise designated.

It's a little different but in some ways much more convenient- you are home all day, so there's time to mow the lawn and take care of other business. For someone who's married, it can work but it takes some adapting.

with almost 1000 hours and 65 multi do I have a chance for a FO position?? can somebody tell me who should I call to ask about this?
thank you

There's no FO openings right now. You can try and call and see what they will say, but chances are they are too busy with these group interviews in PHX. The only "crew" airplane is the Brasilia and we're staffed in it.

Anyone interview in PHX on 7/14 or 7/15?

Why not apply for a PIC position, they seem to be bringing low time guys in for the interviews.

well I think I will apply and see if they call...looking forward for my first job in the us.

Let it go man! We all feel bad for you, but it's time to move on!

I'm not looking for sympathy.

Was my comment not true? Why should he sell himself short?

When and if you meet the mins, you apply...... Forget about low time or high time, apply and let them decide....

Good luck, sounds like a stable company, of you get hired, that job won't be going away

How do you apply, the website isn't taking applications. Does anyone have an email address?

Well, first of all the 1200 is a FAR, and second AMF doesn't really care about thousands of hours of RJ glass SIC time...that means nothing to them.

Forgive me, I did not think about the 1200 off the top of my head when I wrote that.

Besides that, it seems that you are attacking me, why?

That was not directed entirely at you, but to all the furloughed 121 guys who are upset that AMF wont call them. Not trying to be rude or anything but RJ SIC time doesn't work out well with 135 freight...completely different type of flying.

We all know that freight dogs are like top gun pilots, but everyone has to start in the freight world somewhere. But you made your point.

I actually agree with Tango Fox, and I'm sure that was one of the main reasons I did t get the job. The interview was great experience and I did well in the interview and the Sim, but in the end they are looking for PICs, that can make decisions and take care of themselves and the airplane they fly. SIC time is useless either way, unless your transitioning from one airline to another, but I have realized that it is harder to get a 135 job with a 121 background. I do have PIC and Solo time time, but not recently, only a bunch of SIC time which pretty much sucks, as I have no intentions going back to the airlines. I want to get back into flying piston twins and 135, but I have to find and employer who will give me the chance. Now that the PHX interviews are over, I guess I can say to the guys that are furloughed 121 not to get their hopes up. Good Luck to everyone though!

So we're thought of as top gun pilots? How so? I would like your take on that. Is it because we're seen as "dangerous"? or is it because we can fly an inverted ILS down to 200-1/2 and aileron roll it out just as the wheels touch down?

Alright, calm down. I was being sarcastic that its seemed as though tango fox was insinuating that 121 pilots were lesser pilots.

It's obvious that freightdogs are highly respected and I'd like to be one someday. Lets just all chill out.

I'm chilled out. I wasn't attacking you, I was just curious how 135 freight dogs are perceived in the 121 world. Next time I will have to remember to put "LOL" or a :) next to my comments next time. :)

holy jeez we are all a bunch of misunderstanding morons! love it! (LOL, :) :D )

i dont know how everyone else feels, but i always respected freight guys for the flying they do.

;) Part 121 - You're everyone's problem. That's because every time you go up in the air, you're unsafe. I don't like you because you're dangerous.
Part 135 - That's right! Ice... man. I am dangerous. :D

CFI - No. No, Mav, this is not a good idea. :o

That's awesome!

I have a question about the info on here about Ameriflight's reciprocral agreement with southwest. What exactly does that mean? and just to make sure Ameriflight is CASS approved correct?

CASS approved, but only have reciprocal agreements with Southwest. Meaning you can only jumpseat on Southwest.

Southwest is the only airline you are pretty much guaranteed a spot if there is room. That doesn't mean you can't try to jump on other airlines. I've been successful on US airways and Frontier. Frontier is pretty sketchy (50/50 for me) but US airways has never denied my attempt to jump.

Call Back?
 

Did anyone get a call back? How did your sim session and interview go? DId anyone get the descent formula question?

How do you know you didn't get the job???

Ummm... they told me. I interviewed a couple of weeks ago.

no call yet. they said end of next week.

Overall I thought the interview went well. The HR/technical portion we extremely well for me. The sim could have been better. I didn't do anything unsafe or out of procedure It was just not the prettiest instrument flying I've done.

I blame it on the sim. :cool:

No call yet either.

The HR/Technical portion was descent for me, could have been a little better. The sim went really well for me. I heard they are gonna start calling next week. Anybody know what area they were using the jeppesen enroute charts from for the technical portion?

End of next week isnt much time if there putting people in the july 27th class. Hope they give us more time than that.
