Oh, the recruiter failed to mention in-house financing and so did their website. I'll have to ask about that. Thanks for the heads up.

Are you referring to the Ameriflight program at Epic Flight Academy? I'm interested in doing that, especially since Ameriflight reimburses up to $60,000 of the training costs after 3 years through an agreement with them essentially making flight training free. The only problem is they don't really work with any lenders for those of us that need to finance it. Do you know if Ameriflight has any plans to sponsor flight training in the future instead of the reimbursement? I know having that happen is probably a pipe dream, but figured I'd ask. Thanks!

I think Epic makes the reimbursement after 3yrs. Not Ameriflight.

Actually, the way the program is set up, Epic provides the financing for the pilot's training. Once the pilot reaches IFR mins and comes to Ameriflight, there are three benchmarks they have to meet. (I'm not going to name them because I might be wrong on one or two.) When the pilot reaches the benchmark, AMF pays back Epic for 1/3 of the loan. The money never actually passes through the pilot's hands. Unless they don't meet all of the benchmarks at AMF, at which point they are on the hook to Epic for the remainder of the loan.

Hi again FreightDogs and thanks for all the help so far. Can you tell me what aircraft fly out of SUS? I live 45 minutes away and would prefer to stay home based.

Hi, there!

We currently have just one pilot opening out of our SUS base - it's a SA227 Captain position.

Hope that helps! :)

Do you know about how many hours/month the BE99 runs out of BFI average?

Also, if I'm ~40 hrs short of the IFR 135 mins is there any point in applying now, knowing that I'll have the hours in the next 3 weeks? Or is it best just to wait and apply in 3 weeks?

Thanks!
