Obviously the types that require two pilots...!
Much of the ESCS is in the Metro and also is crewed with two pilots. |

Thanks.....any idea if the charter positions (B1900, E120......etc) carry two pilots or one?
We normally don't use Beech aircraft (99 or 1900) on charter operations. |
How quick do people at AMF jump over to major? I’ve been thinking about going this route instead of a regional. Also how is the QOL recently?

Charter flights are regularly flown in the SA227, E120 and SF340. Obviously the SAAB and Brasilia require two crew. The Metro CAN be operated single pilot but we prefer to use two crew so they are able to go up to 10 hours of flight time under 135.267.

BustedGear is right. If you are already legal to fly as a 135 captain, you won't be hired as an FO. We NEED FOs for our transport category planes but we primarily want them to move to the captain ranks. If you are set on flying the charter planes, come on as a captain in a plane you are qualified for and then bid to the Charter captain spots as you gain hours.

QOL depends on what you consider is good for you. Do you want to move around or be home every night? Or flying at night and home every day? Do you want to live where you currently are or are you willing to move to a new base? |

The answer to that varies. Are you talking about someone with 500 hours coming in as an FO? Or someone with a couple thousand hours coming on as an E120 or SF340 captain? Are you coming through the United Aviate Program? Or just on your own? I know one guy who went from E120 FO to BE99 Check Airman/BE1900 Captain and left for Delta in less than 4 years. I don't know what other connections he had, though.
