No autopilot on the 99s, flying approaches pretty much everyday during the winters here in SEA keeps my skills sharp. Is it for everyone? No, but for me it's been great, if I were to say anything QOL for me is the toughest part of the job.

Sure, for those prospective applicants browsing, Ameriflight is a company that takes on the risk of hiring inexperienced pilots and gives them their first real flying job. A chance to build time, experience and a line on a resumé. However, it is not a destination company... it is a stepping stone. The company knows this and for the most part, treats their pilots as such.

Anyone know if there will be openings in SLC anytime soon? Looking to move out west and potentially apply.

I remember two to three years ago they rolled out a program for people that was between 800-1000 total time and short of the 1200 needed to get the Captain 135IFR. I remember it was called the Accelerated Captain Program. Was the program successful with the people they had brought in and what the possibilities of they bring that back again, especially with the increase of the airline hiring people and majors picking up as well.

The program still exists. The majority of these come in through the UPS Intern program. But we did have one just a couple of classes ago that was a street hire into the ACP program.

We also regularly hire into the right seat of the E120. Again, many of those are from UPS due to our partnership. But we do hire to that position off the street as well.

Thanks for the information on the ACP program, it kind of a bummer that they are more going to UPS but understandable because of the contact they have with them and need to keep that pipeline flowing to them.

I check at least daily to see if there an opening for the FO especially hoping for the PDX location to pop up so that I can try for that spot.
