Does anyone know when Ameriflight will be hiring first officers again? I sent my resume to a recruiter and got a reply within minutes that there were currently no first officer positions available. I figured as much with the current situation, but I had read they were stilling hiring on a couple different sites. Thought I’d give it a try.

Feel free to go in and update it as often as you'd like as you gain additional hours. That'll keep you on the radar.
I wasn’t quite sure if that meant my resume was in for any future considerations. Should I email her updated resumes as I get more hours, or wait until the FO application is available on the site.
Thanks for the reply

Avoid Ameriflight
I know the industry is scary right now and alot of people just want to get hired anywhere, but seriously avoid this company. Whatever 91 gig you currently have (CFI, banner tow, skydive) can’t be bad enough to justify working here, wish someone had told me that then.
To start, in training I was the youngest guy and they assumed I intended on getting my atp mins and going to 121 world. Instructor consistently singled me out on day 1, finally saying he was sending me home because my medical expired in a month and “he didn’t see how I’d have time to get it with class going on.” HR then explained he couldn’t do that and I could continue. Instructors consistently claimed how tough training would be but how AMF training was the best available. Having gone through 121 indoc, it was no different. Death by PowerPoint and unmotivated instructors, some of whom were always on their phones. During systems written a classmate didn’t pass but they allowed a retest, before he took it training dept intervened and said it was going to be 7 question free response. He passed the material but they deducted points for for grammar/spelling so he failed. So training is a joke, but thats not even the worst.
I had a stellar training captain who I am still close with 2 years later, and the company provided housing in my base and my roommate and I got along great. We had no management or supervision in base which I thought was odd but I was told its how that base operates and I didn’t think twice. What I didn’t know then was how management was treating the other pilots in my base, causing them all to leave within months. If only I had known.
First month was mosty great! Flying was fun, pay was good, was mostly left alone to do my job.
My base pilot supervisor was leaving the next Month and took a week off and asked me to try his duties to learn so I could take over. Same week the chief pilot visited and ripped my world apart. Nothing I did was right by him, even though I was a month onto the line and alone in base. I mentioned I had sights on taking on supervisor position and I was quite literally laughed at in front of other pilots.
The next two months were followed by several petty and manipulative actions/words from my chief pilot. Within 4 months of starting, I did not trust my certificates or my career at ameriflight.
After leaving, I was hounded as to “where I was going” by this same person as if I would actually say at the time. I actually went and paid for my last several hours to meet ATP mins instead of staying another month.
Do Not Go Here.

These are the types of posts where I wish we had the OTHER SIDE OF THE STORY.
Yeah...stealing someone else's screen name is a lowball attempt at diversion.
I am willing to bet that MOST discerning reader's of this forum will not give your post much credence considering the way in which you presented your side of the story.
I feel like the parent of a toddler who would listen to the story of how the milk got spilled and then have to cross my arms and look at that twisting, uncomfortable face for another minute before saying 'Are you sure there isn't more to that story?'

By his description I have a pretty good idea who he is. It doesn't surprise me he would pull a cheap-shot like trying to spoof my ID. Given his attitude all through training, it didn't surprise me when he bailed after only a month. I did upset me when I saw his no notice resignation. Not because he was leaving but that we had invested in training him.
I'm also upset at him spoofing off my ID. Mostly because there is no way in HELL he would ever be able to fly the BUFF or make it in any of our armed forces. Just a little to self centered for that.
