Same question regarding EMB-120 FO? Currently at 300 PIC.

AkAv8er

Hello,

I'm getting ready to apply for a captain pos on the beech 1900 out of bfi and had a few more questions.

First is regarding the schedule. I've read from previous posts that a typ schedule is a show time around 5 am, fly until maybe 8 am, hang out until about 2 pm and done around 5 pm. Does that sound right for the sea b1900s? Other scheduling I should expect out of training? Of course Im flexible but I'm trying to give the wife a realistic picture of what to expect.

Speaking of training I read indoc is Dallas (was it 2 weeks?) then training location depends on aircraft. Where should i expect for the b1900?


Lastly I've been flying IFR and doing a bunch of sim time prepping but I see the sim evaluation isn't until training. Does anyone (freight dog) see an issue with trying to start training in jan if the interview process goes well?

Thanks

That's pretty close for a west coast schedule. Though I think the PM side might be 1-2 hours later than that. You'll be closer to finishing around 7PM than 5.

Your training estimate is pretty spot on. 2 weeks in Dallas for Indoc/MEICE then 3-4 weeks aircraft specific training.For a 1900 captain the training will be in LGA.

Since I'm not in the hiring pipeline, I can't speak to possible class dates, other than I know there won't be new hire training in December.

I believe FreightDog answered this a ways back in the thread. The PIC requirement is firm for both positions.

dera is correct in that we don't have "flow through" programs. At least not in the sense where you have any kind of guaranteed hiring beyond AMF. But our pathway programs in most cases are more than simply guaranteed interviews. I know in the UPS Gateway program the AMF pilot will spend a year working with a UPS mentor and formally being in touch with people at UPS. So by the time the interview comes around, they are a "known quantity" as far as UPS is concerned. Making it more of a "yours to lose" interview than convincing them they should hire you.

Thanks, and are there contracts for the FO's?

FreightDogs

No issue with starting in January! Once the December class starts on 12/3, the recruiters will start hitting hard for the January class. Feel free to go ahead and apply if you haven't already. The process is relatively quick and painless! Phone interview, quick turnaround on a yes or no, offer letter sometimes within just a few hours - that kind of thing.

Feel free to PM once you've applied and I'll ping your recruiter!

There are only contracts for the ACP FOs because the position is not a required position for Ameriflight. The FO is not a required crew member in the aircraft the program puts them in.
Here are those flight mins: 800 TT, 25 ME, 300 XC (defined as point to point), 100 night, 500 PIC, 75 instrument

For our regular FO positions in the EMB120, there is no contract.
Here are those flight mins: 500 TT, 25 ME, 100 XC (defined as point to point), 25 night, 500 PIC, 75 instrument

Quick question:

Is the ATP required for upgrade to the 1900? If so, would a training contract be involved?

frmrbuffdrvr

No, an ATP is not required. In fact, an ATP is not required to fly any of our aircraft. Even captain in the E120.
