I sent a message over the weekend to Ameriflight recruiting via Facebook
“Hi, Lynn!
I'm sorry for the confusion. It looks like our job reqs online have not been updated.
Yes, the multi time requirement for the BE99 Captain position is 50 hours.
With 1800 TT and 50 ME hours, yes please apply! ��”
So looks like it is a typo

The Jan-March classes still have 12 pilots on the seniority list between all 3 of them. April-June have produced 29 total. Sometimes theres just a bad bunch. Since you have the time to get a jet job and go 121 make sure this is someplace you really want to be. If it is, apply and come fly. If you have other career goals there are better ways to get there in my opinion. The regionals will get you an ATP which AMF will not do at least until you’ve been here for a few years.

With 1800TT and a cfii you shouldnt be to far off. If you prepare with all the materials that are sent to you before training you should do fine. My earlier point was that this isnt some easy time builder job. It takes some work to get checked out here.

I was making too slow progress and resigned while in the sims last November.
I have been advised by many that I should go to a part 135 operation like Ameriflight to gain the skills to be successful in any future regional training. I am a late in life career changer so I am running out of time to fly part 121.
It could be that my professional pilot career may begin and continue with Ameriflight.

Single-pilot except for...?
Hey all - it's been my understanding that AMF flies single-pilot, other than in the E-120. However, I keep seeing references to 1900 FOs, Korean FOs, etc.
Of course things are always changing, but any insight on this - i.e. what bases/aircraft get FOs assigned?

That having been said, you must always be ready to fly single pilot.

Some fly barely 2 hrs a day, some do 100+ hrs a month.....some routes don't leave a state, some go up or down an entire coast, or half way across the x-country...
There are routes for time builders looking to fly like crazy, and there are routes for people just looking to make money, work a bit, and have lots of free time.
All comes down to the routes/bases.

The reference to Korean FOs is about a program we have in conjunction with KAL where South Korean folks who what to become airline pilots come to the US, gain their ratings at a flight school in Florida and then come fly with us until they reach 1000 hours TT. If they successfully complete the program, they are guaranteed an interview with the "regional" component of KAL.
The other FOs are a response to the pilot shortage. Pilots who reach our minimums (see past posts for the numbers) are hired on to fly right seat in our aircraft. Our Ops Specs allow them to log time in our aircraft that are rated for single pilot ops. Once they have gained sufficient experience, they are trained into the left seat of our BE99 aircraft as either VFR captains, Restricted IFR captains or Unrestricted IFR captains.
