AMF and UPS has announced a partnership of some type and the AMF management on here continually talk about a flow with UPS, so what's the real deal?

The partnership is for UPS interns. UPS picks 10 interns a year. You have to be selected as a UPS intern, you THEN have to be selected for the UPS/AMF partnership program. You have to go to AMF and complete an undisclosed series of qualifications that will take you several years, you then have to be selected for a job back at UPS.

The partnership literally has nothing to do with AMF pilots.

He wouldn’t be the first one waiting around because of rumors spread by management, only to **** away several years of their career and leave for a regional.

Would AMF management spread false rumors in hopes that guys stick around for deals that management knows will never materialize?

Of course they would, they have been doing that forever. The mailer they sent out to everyone says “flow” to a bunch of different companies. AMF doesn’t have a flow to any company. All of them are preferential hiring agreements or similar.

Why would you downgrade once at AMF?

Pilot with approx. 4000 total time most of which is PIC, 1200 PIC in a 208, ATP multi rating but very little multi time (approx. 60). What A/C would they be a candidate for? Hoping for the EMB120 as PIC however the 1900 would be great too.

PA31 or BE99 with your multi time.

Can someone let me know the current hiring profile from initial call to interview. e.g., got a call, phone interview, sim check, offer.

Thanks

Asking for a friend of mine: what's the current hiring outlook for a 500 hr pilot?

At 500 hours, the only position available is E120 FO, provided we have a current opening and you have a minimum of 25 hours multi time. Those are the bare minimum requirements and we have many applicants for a limited number of spots. Once you get to 800 hours, you become eligible for our Accelerated Captain Program. There you are trained as a first officer in the BE99 to gain hours and experience in our system. This is also where you can work on getting to not just the 1200 hours required for an IFR captain, but also your cross country, night, and instrument time requirements. Once you reach about 1000 hours total time, we are currently checking pilots as VFR captains. You would continue to build time flying as a VFR captain (weather permitting) and as an FO until you approach 1200 hours. At that point you would be paired with a training captain to get you ready for your instrument check ride (135.297.) Once that is completed you would be released to the line as an unrestricted IFR captain.
