Freightdogs,

I am attempting to apply for a pilot job at AMF. I was invited to do the online video interview. I am unable to complete the video interview because the AMF website will not accept video/audio data from my PC. (Trouble-shooting does not help.) Is there anyway I can get around this? Is there any way I can travel to an AMF office and do this part of the interview process in person?

Thanks. I actually found a Beech C99 specific POH from Essco Aircraft online.

There is no UPS flow. UPS interns that sign up for the program can go to AMF to gain hours and experience, then go back to UPS as pilots.

AMF still misuses the term flow through, their recruiters still don’t understand what they say, either that or somebody is telling them to use that term incorrectly as means to attract pilots which wouldn’t surprise me in the least bit.

Why would they try to deceive pilots? Wouldn't that work against them in trying to retain pilots long term? The pilot knowing that the company tricked them, wouldn't help in fostering a healthy employee/company relationship.

The first UPS interns are currently in training.

The UPS program is NOT an AMF flow program. It currently isn't even available to pilots hiring directly to AMF. It is a program for low time pilots to start off as an intern at UPS who come to AMF to build their time before going back to UPS.

Is AMF trying to make it a pure flow thru that makes all AMF pilots (regardless of background) able to flow to UPS, without interviewing, when their seniority number comes up?

The job of a recruiter isn't to retain pilots.

I am not aware of anything along those lines right now.

Hopefully if this program goes well and UPS is happy with the quality of pilots they are getting back we might be able to work out some kind of program.

I don't think it will ever involve no interview. Since UPS and AMF are totally separate companies, I doubt they would take one of our pilots with no investigation of their own as to the pilot's ability, knowledge and demeanor.

The reason they do it with this intern program is that they have already interviewed and selected these folks before they come to AMF.
