As I approach 500 hours I was wondering how hard it is to get a E120 FO slot? Also, what aircraft are based out of ABQ? The FO can only log total time in the E120 right?

They have upped their mins to 800TT. I have almost double the 500 hours, and I am still waiting for a class date.

They are trying to get their AFO's up to 1000/1200 to fill the Capt's slots.

Hi everybody!

I am planning to apply for a PA31 pilot position at AMF. I have read the various posts on AMF training, and it is clear that a trainee must have all of the flows down cold before the first day of training. I have also read that some of the flows are quite long.

Does anyone have the PA31 flows? Could someone post them? Or perhaps email them as attachments to an email account? It would be a huge help to me!

I will be working my present job for the next couple of months and then I can apply for AMF. I would like to spend the next couple of months looking over the flows.

FOs in single pilot certified planes can log the time due to an exemption in the Ops Specs. While it counts toward part 135 captain's mins, apparently it doesn't count toward your 1500 for the ATP certification.

ABQ is PA31s and BE99s. I don't know how hard it is to get an interview at 500 TT, but I recommend calling recruiting or going to an event, put a face to a name.

I'm not sure if anyone is actually in the program yet since these just started a couple of months ago. I'll see what I can find out about it.

One left for Omni last month, another interviewed, was hired, and is waiting for a class. Not sure about Frontier

Question about the payscale listed: The $44000,- yearly for the BE99 starts after the trainingwage? Or is it from day 1 incl. the trainingwage?

Is it true that healthcare is now fully covered by the company?

Thanks,

I'm 50 years old. Learned to fly when I was 24. Took a 26 year break and renewed my CFI, CFII by adding an MEI and teaching..Im close to 1200TT with 200MPIC...I'm looking hard at AMF as my 'career' position. They pay structure is better than anything I ever made in 25 years of truck driving...I came back in 2015 with 700 hours and after not having flown for 4 years! in 18 months I've retrained and built my hours...I see 15 years or so pushing around a 99 or 1900 like my second dream...the new pay structure is doable for me and the QOL compared to being a truck driver? It's a friggen part time job! Don't know what you got till it's gone....

Hi A1,

I am also thinking about applying at AMF. Let me know what you see as you take a closer look at the company.
