No, it was never created to be a single pilot freight hauler. The flying at AMF is challenging because they take complicated airplanes, and make you fly them by yourself. Having trained FO's is a nice addition but the responsibility still lies on the CA, AMF doesn't truly hold the FO to second in command standards like an airline does. Not to mention that the planes are beyond old...

Not to mention the metro was designed and first built over 10 years before the 767 and has no where NEAR the automation.

Hand flying an old airplane, alone, through weather, with no gps going to an airport in the mountains with a DME arc to VOR approach and limited ATC radar coverage.....what could go wrong! Haha. Don’t get me wrong I didn’t say it was bad, just challenging.

All of their aircraft have GPS now these days, right?
