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. |
Has anyone on here been hired recently? My buddy interviewed for a Navajo captain spot and they said they liked him and would be contacting him but he hasn't heard anything. I also applied but never heard anything. Both meet captain mins. I thought Ameriflight was desperate for captains right now.

How does it work trying to jumpseat on Amflight when they have a Chinese copilot? Does the copilot get bumped to take the jumpseater?

Real world question
I'm an older pilot in my late 50,s presently flying Part 135 night freight. After a break from flying for a few years I have taken this entry level freight job to regain currency and make myself marketable. Looking at AMF as a final stopping place in my career.
I know being a freight dog is hardly a primadonna life and I accept that. My current job is all weather, humping freight, back side of the clock, etc, etc. Please don't interpret this as a spoiled whiner post. I'm ok with hard work but before I commit to my last few flying years with a company I have some QOL questions that need answering. Here's my questions for those who can help: 1. How long (typically) are the crew days? I know there are exceptions but what could a guy really expect each day. I ask because if my commute to the airport is 1 hour and the crew day is the max 14 hours I feel I am setting myself up for failure if I expect to do a 16 hour day, 5 days a week. 2. If the work day is 14 hours, do most people generally live in an apartment 15 minutes from their base? 3. I am specifically interested in DFW. do any scheduled runs actually start from there or would I be a Dallas based relief pilot and be on the road 20 days a month? I attended their pilot open house and asked these questions but really did not get a straight answer. Really nice folks and they seemed very interested in getting me started but I really wanted to get the straight scoop from recent/current AMF guys. Any extra info good or bad would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. |
