We usually prefer to have E120 FOs in the 5-700 hour range. Since the FO in the E120 is a required position we like to get more that 2-3 months use in the position before we turn around and put you into the left seat of a BE99.


I was offered already with my time but for contract issues I had to decline the offer couple of weeks ago. Then I fixed my issue, applied again, was considered by a recruiter but I was "declined" this time. Karma I guess haha.

Don’t feel bad, I know several people who were passed up the second time they applied with AMF. If they make you an offer the first time, take it. They will not hire you if you try a second time around.

Director of recruiting emailed me this second time and he gave me his OK, told.me he would pass my info to the recruiter and then the recruiter told me nope. It's all good though, I'll keep searching out there. It's not a problem at all

I'd love to hear the resident Ameriflyers comments about this, it seems like a douchebaguesque move...

AMF has always been a company that bites the hand that feeds them. Always has, always will. They think beggars can be choosers.

My understanding of Amflight ops is that you fly out in the morning, hang out all day, and then fly back in the evening. Which aircraft have this type of schedule? Could you do something like bring your bike (into road cycling)? Or take online classes? Have a second job?

Good attitude.

If they do not want you, you do not need them. Their loss.

Move on to greener pastures.

Hey Javichu,

I also applied to AMF but ended up not taking the job, mostly because of the negative atmosphere and reputation of the company. So you are certainly not alone. I am continually shocked by AMF's bad atmosphere and reputation, but more importantly, their total unwillingness to do anything about it. But like Jetlife said, this will probably never change.

Are you ready to fly Caravans?

That is the normal schedule if you are covering a UPS, DHL or FedEx run. And yes, you could do all of the above. (And I know of pilots who have done all of them. Just be sure if you get a side job that your other employer is aware you may be late or not show up due to diversion or broken aircraft.) The one consideration is if the time at the out station is when you are expected to get your legal rest, you need to make sure you are rested to do your entire run. If you are out doing activities instead of resting, there will certainly be questions if you call out fatigued when you get around to the morning part of your duty time.
