I met a couple Metro direct hires last month, they were headed to CVG upon completion of training.
Not an easy task, but if you're up for it, put your stuff in and talk to Sheri in recruiting.

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

Sell yourself, they'll entertain you and if not then at least you tried and they'll always be hiring.

I know of at least 3 direct hires to typed airplanes in recent months. (Metro and 1900. A direct hire to the left seat of the E120 probably won't happen. At least it hasn't for several years.) It all depends on where you are willing to go. There are some runs that either because of location or low flight time are always difficult to fill internally.
As for the guys making such a big deal about how Martinaire is so much better -- if that is the case, why are there 4 former Martinaire pilots just at the DFW base? They must have some reason they preferred to come to AMF.

Martinaire has shady maintenance. There i said it. And they push pilots to break far's and do unsafe things. If any martinaire drivers comment on this they may not have pushed YOU to do those things. But have friends that have been told to do some pretty stupid stuff.

Nobody is saying its better, people are saying that Martinaire is now paying better than Ameriflight on the new hire end, which speaks to many problems, IMO.

Whaaaaa...? Martinaire has outstanding maintenance. I can guarantee the CP over there (who has a great reputation) or ACP (who I personally know) would back up a pilot on any go/no go decision. You sure you aren't mixing them up with GTA? Shady maintenance and breaking FARs sounds...GTAish...
