Because no one in PDX has seen the sun since October and it isn't due back untill sometime in May.:D
This is true ^. I got hired at AMF with a little over the 135 mins and 100 multi with no internal recs. |
Luv2rotate,
I'm working from memory, but my hours are pretty close. Ameriflight has the exact hours. By the way, I got the multi in 7.5 hours. I had an exceptional instructor. |

Im confused so please excuse my lack of "smarts" but if you have 2250tt and 2200 PIC that means you got your private in only 50hrs? what about instrument and multi rating? would that all be PIC time even if you dont have the add on?
I'm just checking because if thats what you have in your resume they maybe wondering the same. :confused: |

Ahh never did the ATP gig. I unfortunately went the ERAU route and ended up with a TON of loans. Uggggggh, you ATP guys are ahead of the curve! :( Not sure why CFllight hasnt been called? Maybe they just pick 1/10 resumes. |

No debt
I did my training all part 61 over a few years with no debt. Not ATP flight school, no Riddle. Never planned on flying professionally; it just happened :). Flying is a second career for me. All my flying has been part 61 and 135, and all on aircraft 12,500 mgtow or smaller, so most of it is PIC.

possible interview
i have an interview in the next couple of weeks in CVG. Did any current ameriflighters interview there or know anything about the sim there ect? thanks for the info!
|
For the sim, know how to fly part A. DME arcs, NDB approaches and VOR approaches. Know how to get into holds. The more you know, the more prepared you are.
As for OAK, just know your regs. Know what you can and can't do and that will be honored. It is single pilot IFR so keeping your head in the game will keep you safe. |

What are the chances of someone with just below 135 mins, about 100 hours short, of getting an SIC position or doing the "pay to play" deal. I'm currently doing single pilot IFR in a 310 and loving every minute of it. I'd like to look into Ameriflight a little more, seems like it would be my cup of tea. Just sent my resume so I guess I'll find out soon enough anyway, just thought I'd see if anyone was getting on as an SIC right now.

The only SIC position we have is for the Brasilia, and there are currently no openings. your only chance would be to "pay for play" and when you only need 100 hours its definitely not worth it. Just build the extra 100 hours and apply then. |
