Hi, there!
Yes, that's a hard requirement. ZippyNH, I appreciate it, that helps with Home basing decisions. I’m not under any pretense it’ll be easy to avoid Sundays, just trying to see what’s out there and how to go about it! |

So I do have a quick question for you about a couple of the positions. I have about 520 hours now and am about to get my MEI, and by December of this year will be looking at the next step. Ameriflight makes a ton of sense for the next 5 years at least, maybe even longer. I live a couple hours away from omaha right now, but will be moving close to DFW in the next couple of years most likely. If I were to apply for a BE99 captain position in a year or so in Omaha, whats the likelihood of my ability to just travel to the position and stay on base for the time that I'll be required to be there? So not home basing, but not domiciled closer than 3 hours.
For a Beech 1900 captain position, if I came in with the required hours no problem except for the turbine time, would I still be considered? Or do I need to plan on getting that turbine time? The plan is to get to the Metro as soon as I can and settle in for awhile, maybe look at some of the flow agreements, but honestly I don't feel like moving on for awhile once I get there. For religious reasons I don't work on sundays, and Ameriflight fits perfectly with that. If homebasing can also fit with that where I stay where I am and don't have to travel on sundays, I would be up for that too. Thanks! The Home-Based schedule is 14/7/14/14. There would likely be times when you would have to travel to a base on a Sunday. I'm not sure if you count that as work or not. You wouldn't be operating an aircraft, you would just be on a commercial aircraft headed to a base for work the next day. We could guarantee that you do not have to operate an aircraft (fly one of our routes) on a Sunday - that's easy enough. As far as "just travel to the position and stay on base" for Omaha, I'm not sure that would work. You would need a place to stay at night. But if you have a crash pad there, that would be good. If you came in with the required 1900 hours, but were low on Turbine, it would just depend on how much you had and how much you were over in other categories. Ex. If you had tons of ME, you could be low on Turbine. Also, if it's an issue, we could put you in the 99 for a few months. Once you move to DFW in the coming years, it would be easier for you. You could just take a normal route based out of DFW and come to work Monday-Friday. Hope that helps! |

I am expecting to have greater than 500hours ME as I will be the primary multi instructor after my checkride, but 0 turbine time, which is the problem for going straight to the 1900. I really appreciate the help! |
So I'm new to all this but am interested in the flow agreements with Fed Ex if I were to get a job here, how does that work?

Has some info on the companies... |
Thank you I see that it's actually UPS but either way I'm trying to figure out specifically what the gateway and flow through programs entail since this will hopefully be my first airline job.

HI there,

What are the bases for the EMB-120? Thanks!
|
Thanks for answering all the questions, very helpful.
I'm at ~1900TT, 132ME, hold ATP ME but no type or turbine time. We are possibly moving to SEA area, what options exist for me if I were to get through interviewing? What could I expect as far as a weekly schedule goes? Thanks for any clarifying info :) |
Can any of the Home Based guys tell us about how lodging works in your case?
The recruiter wasn't clear on this. Do you get a hotel during the day as usual, then another at night, or do you fly a schedule that doesn't need this for crew rest requirements? Also, what type of transportation do you use for back and forth from lodging and the airport, food runs, etc? |
