B18onboost if you listen to nothing else the rest of your life listen to this....stay away from Sierra West or the only book you will be reading on a regular basis is the one dealing with emergency procedures. The aircraft are garbage with a capital G!

I'd rather fly for Ameriflight. It's the only company other than my present employer, that's still in business.
I was class of 1988-89, when 34AK was just old:rolleyes: |

As far as the interview, all I did was show up to training the first day, had a 15 minute conversation with the DO, then went over and started training. |

they're not that bad. We (I work for SWA) have 4 metros, only one of which is in really bad shape, 2 are in so-so condition, and the fourth we just bought and haven't flown it yet, but I heard it's nice. The one in bad shape has only had one real bad thing go wrong with it since I started which was a hydraulic failure, but thats nothing that can't be dealt with. What do you expect for airplanes with 60,000 hours on them?

At any rate, we have 5 FOs tight now in the Metro, and only 3 captains. I find it kinda odd that they are hiring more... |

It probably still leaks in the rain. LOL
I remember flying at AMF and having pilots from the majors say on the radio "Hey, I flew that plane". It's a small world.
