The only sims out there anymore are D. Yes on the EHSI. During training use the autopilot for anything other than approaches, but not the command bars alone at any time.

I found that the training was very good and comprehensive. They’ll make sure you can handle an engine failure at V1 and be able to fly it back around for a single engine approach in IMC. The company is adamant on following SOP and safety procedures with a supportive chief pilots office who is there on call 24-7 to help you out. I think Ameriflight was a great company to prepare you for a transition to the 121 world. Oh, and the 1900 was a joy to fly. |
FO Hiring?
Hey everyone. I'm a CFI over at a university flight school ready to move on and get some air carrier experience. I've been checking the application window nonstop to see if the FO portal has opened again. Its either Ameriflight or JSX because I committed to the United Aviate program and with the amount of time that I have I feel as though Ameriflight is a little more realistic. Anybody have any information on when hiring will pick back up for FOs? I kinda figure that the company has more of a need for captains since the majors are cleaning them out almost everywhere. Thanks for any info passed my way, I greatly appreciate it.

Not sure what this year looks like, but I believe they don’t do any new hire classes during peak season (Nov - Feb). If they have the resources, they may open up the application window; otherwise, might wait till Feb.

Is it single pilot most of the times ON "typical" scheduled contract work you fly 5-2 or possibly 4-3 on a few runs, usually single pilot, but if working charter the schedule is more of a 3week on, one off, sometimes weekends off, typical with a copilot more often than not. As for which flies the most... largely route dependant. Some scheduled runs get a few hours a day, some less as "milk runs" .. charter work is highly cyclical ...busy months you max out of legal hours, slow months you might barely fly. So it's largely a lifestyle choice and where you want to live. |
