There are a small few of our routes from other vendors where loading/unloading might come up.

A lot of great information in this thread. It looks like there are currently only Captain listings open, guessing AMF has had a lot of low time - FO applications. I have a PT135 seasonal job this summer that ends in Sept. I will be around the 800hr mark come sept. What is the best route for applying for a possible fall start? I also see conflicting information on commuting -- I am western colorado based and don't have the ability to relocate -- is that even an option? Long term will be working on being PHX based. Thanks!

Hoping to clear this up for you!
If you live over an hour from an AMF base, having a base would not be an option.
We do however have a Home-Based option where we would fly you to your assignment anywhere in our system and cover the travel, lodging, and per diem. The schedule is a little different than our based pilots and obviously you wouldn't be home every night, but it works for lots of folks out there. Being in Colorado, this would be a good option for you. When you are ready to move to PHX, you would just transfer over to our PHX base and pick up that kind of schedule (specific route and being home every night).
Hope that helps!

It is the only option for the Accelerated Captain Program FO positions at 800TT. So the ACP FO spots are what you're aiming for!
At the moment, we don't have openings for either, but we expect to open some in the coming months as folks upgrade - currently 3 ACP upgrades in training.

You'll likely get a "not qualified" email, but applying will at least get you in our system and get the conversation started.
From there, you can update as often as you'd like!
