Writing on the wall for anyone considering this company, or already there. And it’s not that they can’t find skilled pilots, it’s that they can’t, or won’t change the toxic areas of the business that cause good pilots and mechanics/dispatchers to leave or look elsewhere.
And Covid just emphasized those things.

If pay and QoL and maintenance was what it should be, AMF would never find itself short of skilled, competent life long employees. I guess robots are easier and cheaper anyway.
I would bet that UPS and FedEx are bankrolling this somehow. Testing it at AMF. FedEx spent tons of money to convert old 3 man DC10s into old 2 man MD10s. They are looking to eliminate another high paid pilot from the flight deck and AMF is the testbed.

UPS gave them a ton of money years ago to out fit the entire fleet with GPS and ADSB. The ADSB made it in but the rest of it disappeared. So I hope they have better agreements this time if so.

Has anyone had experience with the 'UPS Flightpath'? Seems like a way to keep guys around at Ameriflight but if their website says they're never hiring...

At the moment, 10+ pilots have transitioned over to UPS through the FlightPath programs. There are currently 45+ pilots in the program at AMF - about half are in FlightPath I and half in FlightPath II.
Have 3+ transitioning every quarter.
FlightPath I has you start as an intern at UPS (during or right after college / flight training), then go to AMF (usually starting in the right seat), then go back to UPS as a First Officer after completing the requirements.
FlightPath II has you joining the program once you become an AMF pilot, then transitioning to UPS as a First Officer after completing the requirements.

Default Had an app check

Curious with the recent posting they had for the FO spot for the EMB -120. I was contacted by the HR specialist in checking on my application that I had submitted for the KGEG location.

I told her I was very interested and she said there might be an opening for the PDX but will check with the Chief pilot about it.

usually how soon do they respond back for a second interview/email to let you know if they want to proceed with the application?

I was contacted last week Wednesday after I put the application in on Tuesday, (the night before the call)

I am really hoping to get a call back to get the opportunity to be hired.

thanks for any info.

So far haven’t gotten a call or an email for a second interview or job offer yet. I am really hoping they will call back because I would love to get the PDX location.

Pretty much laughable but a 3% pay raise just announced. Hey, it's something tangible, they're trying...

Default Lot of Captains opening

Is ameriflight having a hard time now keeping captains in the cargo flying? I been seeing a lot of opening for captains position.

I was wonder If regionals are starting to pull more from cargo ops with lot of majors now taking up pilots.
