Although I don't know about getting into a major directly without any 121 time however, if I have 2,000 Turbine PIC and an ATP with a Metroliner PIC Type rating, I think I will look pretty good to any major airline!

Continental, JetBlue, Frontier, SWA, United, Allegiant, Delta
Not all majors, but certainly some big players in there where AMF pilots have been hired directly to.

Recalling Furloughs
Good news coming out of BUR, sounds like that the Flt Dept has started recalling those on furlough. I think these are ones that were destined for OAK and PDX. Good luck to everyone!!!
Also, we'll be running an August 8th class of 8 PA31 candidates. Best of luck to those going through indoc.
Hopefully this is a good sign of things turning around.

Some good news for everyone. In addition to the BE99 bid that closed last friday, 4 additional bids came out yesterday;1 in LAX and 3 in SDF, all turbine. SDF could possibly turn into a descent size base in the future. It looks like that there might very well be some growth at AMF again. There's a rumor for additional flying in the Northeast for early fall.
I can also vouch for Freightdog about the furloughs. All have been recalled and there will be a class of 8 soon. Hang in there everyone.
