Different bases have different schedules but most runs are Mon-Fri with some Mon-Sat so there just is not enough time to make commuting home for the weekend viable.

I'm not sure what process they use if you are flying a BE99 run for example and want to bid a B1900 run.

Most leave AMF for ULCC or ACMI on the cargo side, but a legacy isn’t unheard of. Just had a guy go from AMF straight to Delta this year, but he was an instructor, check airman, and had a letter of recommendation.

I know for sure they have one person in BLI that comes open from time to time. They used to have pilots at BFI too, tho I am unsure if that is still staffed. I still see a 99 sitting on the ramp in SEA, tho I do not know where it is based.
