What are your thoughts on Ameriflight given the current state of the industry. I’m not too far from 1200. Single pilot cargo IFR flying seems like killer experience. Then again 1500 isn’t too far from that.

How long is the contract? If it’s not too long I might consider it.

Interesting quote from the company themselves: "Natilus aims to address pilot shortages using its autonomous technologies."

So if low time pilot gigs, such as AMF, become more rare due to automation, how are pilots supposed to build hours to get to the airlines, something that likely will not be automated in the foreseeable future?

Of course, the ATP would need to be modified.

Housing in BQN Puerto Rico

Former Amflight pilot and currently flying for Brown. I live in Aguadilla, PR (BQN) about 1 mile from the airport and my neighbor has two beautiful apartments 1 and 2 bedroom for rent. Great location for pilot based in BQN, great neighborhood and 5 minutes from Ameriflight. If you are anyone you know is interested PM. Thanks!

Will they hire off the street for Saab F/O? I meet the mins for BE99 Captain but would rather get into the Saab operation if possible, even though it would be SIC vs PIC.

You’d choose FO pay over CA? Also, SICs typically upgrade to captain in the 99. You won’t necessarily upgrade in the Saab.

We generally have no problem getting low time folks to hire into our SF340 and E120 aircraft. Since our goal is to move those folks into the left seat of our other aircraft, we have no real need to hire someone into the right seat that meets the requirements of a Part 135 IFR Captain. And we generally don't move 340 and 120 first officers directly over to the left seat of those aircraft. So if becoming a 340 Captain is your ultimate goal, you are better off starting in one of our other aircraft AS a captain.

I have an agency telling me that if you are a charter pilot, in addition to the $97000 per year, you will also earn an extra of $50000-$70000 per year in charter incentives. Would anyone kindly clarify that?

Directly from the job posting:
http://ameriflight.hrmdirect.com/emp...rt1=26543&#job

Quote:

First year compensation up to $174,000 annually*
$97,091 base salary
$31,000 mileage incentive
$46,000 pilot load compensation

The numbers are based on the average charter activity over the past year. In addition to the base salary, you get paid extra to load the aircraft, and you get paid a certain amount per mile that you fly. I believe it's $0.18/nm
