Yes, it is. But the 900TT job at AMF is probably a minimum wage job. Even once you "upgrade" to a PA31/BE99 captain, you'd still be making more flying a Van at Martinaire, if they really are now paying 30K first year.

SO the PA31 is from 900-1200 hours with another employee "as you log the time" to 135 mins and then you fly it single pilot, or is it single pilot at 900 from the start of the upgrade program.

Will the PA31 ever come to dallas and what is the commitment back to the company?

The biggest dilemma is making a choice between going on these 2-3 day trips and leaving the family behind or being home every night.

Martinaire is based in Dallas, and you'll make more with them.

Back before you came on, there were a bunch of 10 unit runs in the system, AMF bumped them all down to 8 units. It was also possible to double up runs that were 8 unit, short duty day runs. Like in OAK there was a run that went out in the afternoon to SAC and back, that was an 8 unit run. You could also do the 99 run at night to BUR that was an 8 unit run and collect 16 units. They put the X on that as well, so you do double the work for 8 units. Yay?

I wouldn't plan on doing more than 40 units a week that is for sure. Only way to do that now is by being a training captain.

What are the chances of getting hired into one of the type rated aircraft as a captain?

So the emb120, metro and 1900? Without type rating+ significant time in type+ significant previous 135 time. Not likely. Its posted online.
