Nearly everything is Adhoc and time sensitive.
That is assuming that the base stays open.

So a new hire is most likely to be based on the west coast?

BTW...if you come here, and get a base/equipment assignment that you want, be sure that before you come to class you get that base/equipment assignment in the form of a written offer of employment. They are going to fuss, but they need pilots bad and the will make a committment if you are politely insistant.

Fly a Twin Otter
Another option to build PIC Turbine time quick is to get a job flying a Twin Otter for Grand Canyon Airlines. They are hiring First Officers and Captains. Minimums are fairly low with only a multi-engine rating required for F/Os. Bases are Las Vegas and Grand Canyon. Not a bad gig since you get 135 crew experience, multi-turbine time and a fast upgrade that has been about 7-8 months with your ATP and 500 hrs in type.

Go for AMF
They will hire you right into a BE99 in Billings MT and the flying is great. It is very chalangeing sometimes but the time you get is what the airlines look for. I have been a pilot for them for 4.5 months and I am going to 1900 school on the 17th. Our ACP went right to Continental from here. Forget the schedule and face the reality. If you want to have a long term career that will give you the kind of lifestyle that you are looking for you have to pay a price. Pay it now and reap the rewards later. By the way, AMF is a great place to work.
