Let me know if you have any questions! We'd love to have you apply!
Best regards!

Finally, if you don't have 135 IFR mins yet, once you get there, you would likely go to a BE99 or PA31 and currently home basing is only for type rated aircraft.

Again, while the VFR positions are captain, they are also to get you to IFR mins as soon as possible. In addition, there are only two bases where VFR captains are really useful; PHX and ABQ.

Can you confirm what is specifically meant by Home Based? Would someone who departs PHX in the morning to an outstation like KSAD and then return at night be considered home based?

Got it. Now it makes sense. Enjoy the class. I'm scheduled for next month.

I am at 540TT and 18ME and trying to empty my bank account as fast as the wx will allow me, but is AMF going to be hiring any EMB 120 FOs (Not FO ACP!) any time soon? Are they going to the ACP program only now?
I applied for an EMB120 FO position and heard nice things from their recruiting department in mid March, but haven't heard anything since? Should I just go do something else and get more TT? Kinda bummed if so since they fly 120s where I live.
