Lansing is typically six days a week. It's not atypical to be out around 5am and back by 9pm. Long days. Some runs are out and backs. Look at Flight Aware app if you want to see the schedule.

You can receive the $35 per diem if you are away from your domicile for 24+ hours.

So with the 120 sim in Atlanta going away, how's AMF doing training/recurrents these days? Are they getting retired for the SF340 instead? Just curious

Our initial training program is currently on hold. We have decided not to do inital training in the aircraft. We ARE doing recurrent check rides in the aircraft to keep our pilots current.

We are working with Flight Safety to get their E120 sim in Paris certified for FAA training. Once it is certified, we plan to start up our initial/transition training program again.

And for clarification, the 120 sim in ATL is not "going away". It is already gone.

Prehaps... could have been a descent investment Ameriflight to purchase the sim for a song. Or, could have entered into a co-op ownership with other 120 operators. Lease available time to other 120 operators. There are a number of Simulator Facilites would be happy to install and maintain the simulator.

Thanks for that update! Fond memories of the Waffle House between the hotel and the sim at 4am for me.
