Probably already been asked in the last 200+ pages, but if someone could suffer me the answer again...how often does Ameriflight typically have a need for Brasilia FO's? What are the mins for that seat?

We are usually running a class with 2 FOs about every 3 months. There are no official mins (part 135 has no time requirements for first officers) but most guys have been coming in between 700 & 900 hours total time with at least 100 hours multi.

The total time is targeted there because we aren't looking for permanent FOs. We want guys who will be captains within a year or so and for that you will need 1200 (part 135 IFR mins.) So after about a year in the right seat of the Bro, we want you to be able to move to the left seat of a BE99 and up from there as you gain experience.

Much appreciated, frmrbuffdrvr. I must admit, the Multi is quite a bit more than I expected, but then, that's why I asked in the first place!

I'm not sure that is a firm requirement. But as an E120 captain myself, I have seen too many guys eaten up by the Bro because they can't handle the engine out situations due to lack of experience.

So 400 tt and 100 multi no chance? haha

I got hired with 8XXtt and 37 multi and my sim partner had 6XXtt not sure about his multi. We both had some 73 sim training, not sure how much that helped us but we got hired after dropping are resumes at a job fair. There was a girl who got hired with 12XXtt and like 12 hrs multi. Not sure what she did to get hired though.

We did have one guy come in at 300tt. But he was a commercial FO in the 1900 and the person who offered him the 120 spot didn't realize how little time he had. Made it through training, though. I flew with him several times and he did well.

So I won't say NO chance...

ok ill throw a res out there fingers crossed. thanks

We like to see roughly 550-700 hours total time, and 100 ME. As Mr. BuffDrvr said, it is to cope with the engine-out flight characteristics of the Brasilia.

I'm wondering how hard up AMF is for pilots. Specifically, I would be looking for a part time job out of PHX (would need to be based in station).

A little background: I'm in PHX working in IT and have gotten the itch to get back into flying. I took the ATP written before the rules changed last year and will be getting back into flying to get my ATP. I haven't flown since 2010 but have 2300 TT, 100 IFR, and will have 50 multi when I finish my ATP (~25 multi hours flown in 2015 toward the ATP). I was a CFI/CFII/MEI with no previous 135 experience.

Would they be interested or am I wasting everyone's time by applying. I would have to have something part time to work around my current job (say 2-3 days a week).
