The pilot supervises the loading for weight and balance reasons. If we take a delay or cancellation because the pilot believes the job to have been done incorrectly, we do not blame the pilot and instead will likely put him in our safety spotlight. I would think that the pilot would/should want to supervise the loading, I know I did, when I flew package freight. Do you want to trust your life and aircraft to an unknown person that UPS may just have hired who may be totally unfamiliar with airplanes? |

Are the home basing positions still available for the Metroliner? The website is only showing it for the 1900.

Does AMF still hire VFR-only Chieftain captains at 500 hours? Or has that increased? Does AMF even still have a program for VFR-only 500-hour Chieftain captains?

PHX and DFW schedule
Can somebody provide a sample schedule for PHX and/or DFW (typical routes, flight times)? I am assuming its BE-99 for new hires.

Its not about being negative, it is about the way responsibility is placed. No training, no oversight. UPS lies and puts 500 extra pounds of cargo in a bay and drops the tail. Who gets in trouble?
It is an honest question, but given your response, I can see the old guard alive and well.

UPS hubs had dedicated people incorrectly loading AMF planes long before part-time drivers took over. I had my routine hub guy load double the aft section limit. It took me and the FO to keep the thing from becoming a fire ball at the end of the runway. Yes I supervised the load. Supervise does not mean handle every package loaded to verify the loader isn't lying to you. |

It's "multiple locations." When you speak with a recruiter, they'll verify where you want to go and if you need to be Home-Based. Hope that helps! |

We're retiring Chieftains and will likely have an all-turbine fleet by the end of this year, but still using VFR Chieftains until then. (All VFR Chieftain pilots will be transitioned to BE99 Captains.) |
