Metroliner Bonus Program Flyer
 

It looks like the Flyer for the Metroliner Bonus Program was taken down? Is this still a thing?

Also, I'm interested in the Home Based Captain and was wondering how they work the Salary for that. Is it the same as what's posted on APC or is it different because you are flying half as much.

Curious too what I'd likely be placed in with these times.


Total time:
6454
Inst:
378(272 act)
X-Country:
4009
PIC:
6190
Night:
374
Turbine:
570
ASEL:
3780
ASES:
2679
AMEL:
34
Alaska:
2000
135:
5000
Amphib:
236



Most of the 135 is VFR ASES, but I did fly IFR 135 freight years ago for Flight Express. About half the turbine time is TPE-331 the other half is PT6, all DHC3 floats.

I'd love to fly the metroliner as a home based captain but i figure the AMEL time might limit that.

Thanks in advance. :cool:

We have BE99, BE1900 and SA227 based in DFW. Unfortunately we haven't had E120 aircraft based in DFW for about 5 years.

Are you looking for a captain or FO spot?

Yeah, that's pretty low ME time to go straight to the metro. However, you could come in as a home based BE99 and then transition to the metro after you log a couple hundred hours of ME time.

Hi, there!

Yes, the $20,000 Metro bonus is still a thing. It also applies for BE1900 Captains, as well.

The salary is the same for Home-Based Captains. For Metro Captains, first year salary is $57,000 (does not include bonuses, per diem, etc.)

If your Multi-Engine is at 34 hours, you unfortunately wouldn't come in as a Metro. With your other hours being so high, we could likely get you that Home-Based position as a 99 and transition you to the Metro when you get 200 more hours of Multi.

Hope that helps!

Unless your plan is just to come here to get to 1500 as an FO to go to the regionals, you would be better off going the ACP route. In the E120 we try to keep the FOs in the plane for about a year. Which is why we look for pilots at around the 600 hour range. At a little over 800, you would be better as an ACP FO, building time in the BE99 until you get over 1000. Then you could become a restricted captain, still in the 99 and transition to unrestricted at 1200.

Hi, there!

We are taking EMB120 First Officers in our April class - we have openings on our careers site now.
If you are at 827 TT, you'll likely be up for our ACP positions. That will get you to Captain quicker, as well. It comes with a training contract.

Hope that helps!

Thanks Freightdogs!

Ok couple more questions then. About how long do you think the upgrade to the 1900\metro would be and if you upgrade within the first year (if that's even a possibility), which bonus structure would apply at the 12\18 month point.

Edit: Also, what is the minimum ME time I would need (considering my other experience) to be direct hire for the Metro\1900.

Again, thanks for the time.

Are there currently training contracts for new hires at AMF? I heard from a recruiter that there were no contracts (outside of the time builder positions for pilots with 500-800 hrs.) but I've also heard that the new pilot employee guide that came out this winter includes some wording about "training commitments" for all pilots. That sounds like a financial obligation to me, aka- training contracts. Was the recruiter incorrect or did something change in the last few months?

If you were to come in as a BE99 Captain at the hours you have currently, it would take 4-6 months for you to transition to the BE1900 or Metro. (That's the amount of time it would take for you to gain the multi needed and get into a 1900/Metro class.)
If you came in as a BE99 Captain, you would not be eligible for the 1900/Metro bonuses. You would still get the 20% Turbine bonuses for the 1900/Metro and all other applicable bonuses (like Peak to Peak).

You would be considered for a Direct-Entry 1900 or Metro Captain position with as little as 150ME.

Hope that helps!

I'll try to clear this up! :)

We have training contracts for one position. The Accelerated Captain Program First Officers (ACP FOs).
The reason we have training contracts for them is because we don't actually need that position (FOs in our BE99s). We are helping those pilots out by giving them a position where they can earn hours quicker, so we have a training contract that requires them to fly with us for a certain amount of flight hours. If they leave early, they have to pay back money depending on how many hours they haven't accumulated with us.

Hope that makes sense!
