All - How are things going at AMF as Corona-cession settles into full swing? Is the UPS and FedEx feeder stuff still going strong? Or is there any cut back in frequency, downsizing of aircraft, etc?

Those are a little to close to proprietary business issues for me to say anything about. I'll say we had 20 people show up for indoc last week and so far we have 10 planned for next month with many more to be added in the next several weeks. We are also transitioning 4-6 folks per month into bigger planes and we just brought our latest E120 onto property last week.

Fair enough. Sounds positive all the same. Glad to hear.

Any news on FO hiring?

Hey freightdog,

Mind if I send a DM?

Got a question about my application...

All the best

Absolutely - send it my way!

Have three in our April new hire class. Likely won't have any start for the next few months as we are pretty full on First Officers.
500 TT > 1,200 TT for First Officers.
> 1,200 TT for Captains.

Hope that helps!

Will you guys take street captains straight into the EMB-120?

Yes, for sure! Here are those flight mins for reference: 3,000 TT, 500 ME, 500 XC (defined as point to point), 100 night, 1,000 PIC, 200 instrument, 500 Turbine, 121 or 135 experience

We don't have any EMB120 Captain positions open at the moment, but when we do we can hire street Captains, no problem.

New Training Contract
 

30,000$ and 18 months. That will be tough to sign. Ameriflight seems like an ok company, and will always survive the ups and downs, but that contract is a bit high.

I am afraid this will start to be a trend again. Next, we will go back to having to pay to work just like in the early 90s. The line was around the block then and probably will be again. If one of the big 4 shut down, that alone is 15,000 pilots. Add to that the massive furloughs that may be coming and man O man.

Let’s home things get better before they get worse.
