Most have a wing leveler type of autopilot - which can be deferred - and GI275. Do everything you can to drill flying without a moving map, e.g. timeturnthrottletalk, as GPS can be deferred too! Your training will require it.

From my time, the GPS was never deferred as MX knows the destinations that the 99 goes into almost always relies on a RNAV approach.

True, rarely deferred. And it cannot be deferred due to an out of date database; unless the MEL has changed. The 99 is probably the fleet that most consistently has GPS. I’ve flown a couple 1900s without GPS and got very proficient flying IMC from VOR-VOR. Some 1900s have the old KLN-90 unit. A lot of folks complain about the KLN, but it’s actually a nice piece of equipment once you learn the ins and outs.

Sorry if this has been asked recently (I tried search but wasn't able to find the answer) but can anyone tell me what a rough upgrade timeline would be for Burbank or Ontario? How many hours are FO's getting in these bases? Thank you!

QOL/Baes/routes
Hey guys, thinking of applying to AMF, but I want to inquire about what does the schedule looks like? week on week off? or is it structures like the regionals 3/4 days trip? also is there a San Diego base? or ONT is the closest thing?
Also, I have prior jet experience with 6300TT 4800Jet time and 870TPIC. What is the typical type I can expect right off the hiring?
I am looking to fly but be home as much as possible for family reasons.
TIA.

The short answer is "it depends", but most runs have you home every night. You could easily hire directly into type-rated equipment. Talk to recruiting and aoply for the best lifestyle fit. Sorry, retention bonus is history...

FOs are used in the E120/SF340 because they require them for the type certificate and on SA227s in Charter. The SF340s are located in DFW, the SA227s are in ELP and the E120s are in Puerto Rico, PHX, PDX and GEG and CVG.

Interview timeline?
Hey all I just applied a couple weeks ago for the BE99 Captain position.
I received a phone call last week asking some verification questions and that she'll send over my info to schedule an interview soon. havent heard from them since? Does anyone know what the process is like from this point onwards? Should I try to reach any recruiter to check the status of the application?
