The ACP contract is only for our First Officers in the Accelerated Captain Program.

The contract is based on flight hours flown with us not time. It's based on 1,200 flight hours with every 400 hours being worth $5,000 as our training costs us about $15,000 per pilot.

So if someone comes in at the minimums for the Acp program of 800 hours they would have a contract for $5k or how many hours after 1200?

It's a ladder contract.
So if someone came in at 800 TT and flew zero hours for Ameriflight (quit right after training), they would owe $15,000 (the cost of training).
If they came in at 800 TT and flew 400 hours for Ameriflight, they would owe $10,000.
If they came in at 800 TT and flew 800 hours for Ameriflight, they would owe $5,000.
If they came in at 800 TT and flew the full 1,200 hours for Ameriflight, they would owe $0.

So essentially, you would fly with Ameriflight until you reach 2,000 TT in order to be good on your contract. With our average flight hours, that puts you with Ameriflight for a little less than two years.

Asking for a friend, would AMF sponsor a Visa for a foreign candidate (Kenya in his case)? He has a few thousand hours, an ATP, and has prior 135 PIC experience in a 208 in the US.

I have checked with our folks several times on this. Unless there has been a change in the past couple of weeks, at this time we are not able to do this. Sorry.

Ah. Too bad. Hes a great pilot and I was hoping to be able to help him out with a reference.

Yeah, we can only hire him if he already has a work visa.

Any idea where I can find an updated flight schedule (pdf)?

https://w3.ameriflight.com/fleet-bases/#route-map

Is about as close as you will get to what you want.
Cargo is a bit different in that routes/times are not 100% public/published due to competitive pressures and many customers are paying for the whole plane, so the exact schedule is considered to be sensitive information.

Additionally I was say that the map is not 100% accurate/current, as it is aviation, and things are in a constant state of change.

If he has worked in the US before, it should be easy for him to get a work visa, but on his own...
