Ameriflight has a Gateway Program with UPS Airlines and Flow Through Programs with Allegiant, Omni Air, and Frontier.
The programs are specific and applicant driven. Once you start working for AMF, you can apply to be in one of our programs.
For UPS, during the first 24 months, you'll be working to meet specific personal and professional benchmarks (like flight hours, leadership positions, and more). The last 12 months will include a mentorship with a UPS pilot and a jet transition course.
The other three programs are less stringent than UPS and similar to each other. You'll need to reach a certain number of benchmarks (time with us and flight hours).
Hope that helps!

If there's no bases in TX then there's no point in me applying for it though. We're moving to the Dallas area in June.
I don't see that at the moment on our careers site, but it was likely supposed to be multiple locations nationwide (the site forces us to pick a state, so we choose Texas as it is where our headquarters is located).
The PIC can be slightly under that 500, especially if you can compensate in other areas (like ME or Instrument).
Depending on your TT, you might be interested in our Accelerated Captain Program.
Hope that helps!

What could I expect as far as a weekly schedule goes?
Thanks for any clarifying info

With your ME and lack of Turbine, we'd consider you for a BE99 Captain position.
BE99 Captain: 1,200 TT, 150 ME, 500 XC (defined as point to point), 100 night, 500 PIC, 75 instrument
Transitioning up to a BE1900 wouldn't take you too long. It would just be a matter of getting those additional hours.
BE1900 Captain: 1,800 TT, 250 ME, 500 XC (defined as point to point), 100 night, 1,000 PIC, 100 instrument, 100 Turbine, 121 or 135 experience
Here's a link to apply for a BE99 Captain position at BFI (about 9 miles from SEA airport): Captain Beech 99 Cargo Pilot - Careers At Ameriflight, LLC
Our typical schedule is Monday through Friday, morning to evening.
Hope that helps!

BE99 FO hours do not since a First Officer is not required in that aircraft. FOs in that aircraft are involved in the Accelerated Captain Program.
Hope that helps!

For UPS, FedEx and DHL the customer does provide the man power to unload the aircraft.
