There are Metros based out of MIA. One EMB-120. Flights are for FedEx and UPS. Typical long days. 12-15 hrs a day. Most guys use to fly just 3 days a week and be reserve the other two days there but with the shortage of pilots in the company a lot of MIA guys have been TDY to other bases. The remaining pilots there are flying 4-5 days a week. On duty either 5-6 days a week. Reserve if there are any is ready reserve at the airport. Thats pretty much standard company wide. Reserve times vary from base to base but some places like CVG you sit reserve at the airport in uniform for 12 hours. MIA you usually sit reserve for 4-7 hours depending on the day and situation.

I know this has been said on here in the past, but with 242 pages to look through it is hard to find. What is the starting pay for a PIC on the 99? And what are the chances of getting hired directly into one based at DFW with just over the 135 mins, but with lots of multi time?

34k/yr for the 99, 45k for the 1900 and Metro. Upgrades times are less than a year lately. We need pilots in DFW right now so your timing is good. PM me your resume and I'll get the ball rolling for you if you want.

Actually, you can probably get a 99 in TEXAS. But there are no BE99 positions where you actually are STATIONED in DFW. The Texas BE99 runs are all out station runs from Vernon, Pampa, Lubbock and Brownwood TX. There are three positions based in Lubbock and one in each of the other cities.

So does that mean you are stationed living in those cities? I live in Dallas now and dont want to move, so what are the chances of being stationed at DFW?

Zero. There just aren't any 99s based here, as stated above.

So what equipment is based at DFW? Thats the only base I would consider flying out of.

Metros and BE1900s. We do hire direct to those planes if you have enough experience, but primarily to bases that have problems filling those slots from within, which DFW is not currently one of.

And by experience we are talking probably over 2000 hours with at least 400 - 500 hours turbine PIC.

Heard the other day the ABQ base maybe closing soon. The ACP quit and AMF is struggling to staff it.

Sounds about right. I guess after one of their Beech 99's geared up, among many other issues, the Assistant Chief Pilot decided to run! Over expanding has consequences...
