Thinking about sending an app in and would greatly appreciate any one sharing some info

Here's a good place to find the schedules: https://w3.ameriflight.com/jumpseat/
Just scroll down to LAN and click. It'll drop down and show you each one.
There are two Metro routes out of LAN atm.

Hope that helps!

I applied with 2400hrs TT and 750hrs in the ERJ175. Almost 1000hrs total turbine time. Got a TBNT email. I don’t understand. I guess lots of high time people are now applying.

Did you just get laid off? Maybe this? :)

Look at the bright side...they would have gladly accepted you in January. But due to current events and put yourself in their shoes. Would you hire someone who was laid off from a cushy jet job knowing they would leave ASAP without notice?

I haven’t been furloughed. I would actually like to do the job at Ameriflight. Seems I’m plenty qualified according to their published mins.

Lots of applications in at the moment! Not sure what you applied for, but there currently aren't any BE99, BE1900, or EMB120 openings. Which just leaves the mighty Metro. Not sure if you applied for that or if those open locations would suit you.

Hi there!

Out of curiosity, how come there isn't a Seattle option there?

Thanks in advance! :)

The Seattle operations moved to Spokane last fall due to UPS restructuring their operations.

One more question for LAN....

I read earlier in the thread that FO’s are used on the metro up there due to weather. Is this for every flight as a requirement for the base? Or just when needed for guys to get their time?

Are the FO’s up there on the Metro mostly on the ACP program? Or foreign gals/guys getting their 1,000 hrs?

Just when needed for First Officers to get the time needed to upgrade - not a requirement for each flight out of that base.
Yes, the ACP program. We don't currently have any foreign pilots. We used to have an FO program through Eagle Jet, but not anymore.
