I'm just finishing up my time with the company after almost a year of flying the line as a E120 first officer. If you have questions regarding that program, the quality of life, or other general questions - feel free to reach out.
Captain stuff, schedule stuff, etc - Best to ask elsewhere.

Hello, i am about to become a CFI at Spartan College and begin building valuable time for the regionals. I want to instruct but i dont wanna do it for more than absolutely necessary, so i was considering flight instructing up to the FO time mins (500tt + 500pic) for AMF then applying. My question is: would it be worth it? Or should i just stay at Spartan and flight instruct to build up to the R-ATP mins to go straight into the regionals? I really like the idea of flying for AMF for the crew enviornment and the turbine experience, however I dont really understand if the SIC time is less valuable the the PIC time i would get if i just flight instruct for a longer time period.
Thank you for your time.

I literally know 2 people that were fired from AMF unjustly, went to regionals, and are now at SWA, and they did that quicker than anyone I know that stayed at AMF. Not to start a debate on whether or not to go to a regional or AMF, but the reality is a bit different than AMF sells it.

Any idea on another way to get into ameriflight? Called the recruiter yesterday and no more ACP slots until August, maybe july. I've already passed all my interviews and everything. 740 hours for what it's worth

I can't tell you the countless people I know from AMF (I am former AMF) that thought SWA was gonna swoop them up from AMF, that are now at regionals.

You can always go 121 after you get 1000 PIC.
Hourly requirements on a resume are a small subset to getting hired.
