Depending on your total time and multi time you might try getting on as a FO on a Brasila. Instead of paying out money you would make money.

I'm not sure about those times, but I'd doubt it given current conditions (my own personal opinion, get that multi time up).

I have 1700TT with 670 Multi and 260 Turbo-prop,(all PIC) Part.135 freight experience. Sent out countless resume's and nothing but the standard computer response's. Although Airnet did call me last year and Pinnacle before that. But nothing in the last 6 months. Maybe my resume doesn't pop out,not sure.

Yes, people pay to rent a plane to build twin time. Most people build their twin time that way, including myself before getting hired on a 121 carrier. What we didn't do is pay to fly right seat on a revenue flight, which is what AMF program does. The cargo is there because someone is paying for it to be moved around. And you think its ok for someone to also pay to fly that cargo around? If the company wants a warm body in the right seat they should pay for it. Making money off the flightdeck with additional revenue from the cargo/passenger compartment is ethically wrong and not good for the profession at all. I'm sure there are good pilots that enter this lame program. But your missing the point, its PFT plain and simple. This argument is old...

I didn't say it was noble to build my twin time by splitting it with someone. But its still better than paying 19G's to a company for an interview. But in hindsight getting my MEI would've been easier and cheaper. Things we do when we don't know better. oh well live and learn.
