Any news?
Anything happening in the new-hire dept. over at amflight lately? Website still says last new-hire class suspended etc. Last rumors I heard were the guys who were in the class will get called back late summer... This accurate (as best your crystal ball can discern)? I was talking with a former amflight pilot and he suggested i give the asst. Chief a call via dispatch (which he gave me the number) and chat with him. I've considered it but opted not to thinking "why pester the guy". Now reconsidering. Could this be a constructive way to getting an edge? Is this common practice (been out of the job hunting market for awhile)? Thanks...

If you are reliable and don't damage the airplane, you will get along well at Ameriflight.

recalls
Good News! There is movement! The first recall has taken place and it looks like they expect others to slowly get called back. If anyone has any info as to what bases are running short on pilots or where there are pilots upgrading from and leaving open chieftain spots let us know!

A new hire will VERY likely get Oakland or Portland...

We finally had a BE99 bid open up in upstate NY for an outstation. It's been the first bid since March, and let me tell you that people were starting to get restless. We've had 2 pilots leave within the past week in PDX. So as of right now, PDX is short one pilot before the recalled pilot arrives. Besides that I'm not sure what's going on at the other bases. We just have a lot of senior frustrated pilots that can't upgrade to turbine because there's no new business.

I'm wondering how long had those two pilots (that recently left PDX) been waiting for their upgrades? How many pilots does Ameriflight have based in PDX, and OAK and what is the average length of tenure in those junior bases at the present?

The two pilots who left PDX have left the company. The last round of bids for BE99 upgrades took two pilots from PDX to the BE99 (one in Omaha, NE, and the other, an outstation of PDX in Redmond, OR) back in March. They actually won the bid in Feb but finally went to BE99 School in March. Both had been with the company for less than 6 months.
Another pilot left PDX about 8 months ago for for a dual qual BE99/PA31 in Seattle after about 6 months with the company. Other than that, the rest are either here to stay or are too junior to move on yet.
