How many hours a month can you usually expect to fly? Is everyday just two legs? Or are there some schedules with some flying in between on your sits?

It really depends on the run. There are still some bank runs on the west coast that have several legs per day. You can probably plan on an average of about 40 hours per month, though there are runs (like the E120 run out of the CVG base) where you actually have to take about a week off a month to keep from going over the monthly hour limits.

Someone at my school said he was hired with just a phone interview, no face to face or anything. Is this the case right now?

Was your friend a former freight driver? Flown with someone on the inside? I just had the phone interview. Waiting to hear back for the tech/sim portion.

I heard of a guy who did HR phone interview, then due to scheduling conflicts with him and amflight he did the second technical interview over the phone as well. No sim. Got the job.

I am interested in the 99 flying out of OAK/HWD.

How many hours a month do those BE99 pilots fly?

Also I know there is a line in Sacramento that flies out of MHR. How many hours a month does that pilot(s) fly?

Thanks for your answers!

This does happen on rare occasions. Most of the time though a face to face with a sim is prefered. If you can't get out to BUR, it can often be set up with an ACP at one of the bases.

I went thru the process earlier this month and was straight up offered to interview at the base of my choice, no requirement to go to BUR at all.
