I think there is something in FLG, but I'm not familiar with that base.

As for minimum requirement to work at AMF:

(c) Except as provided in paragraph (a) of this section, no certificate holder may use a person, nor may any person serve, as pilot in command of an aircraft under IFR unless that person—

(1) Holds at least a commercial pilot certificate with appropriate category and class ratings and, if required, an appropriate type rating for that aircraft; and

(2) Has had at least 1,200 hours of flight time as a pilot, including 500 hours of cross country flight time, 100 hours of night flight time, and 75 hours of actual or simulated instrument time at least 50 hours of which were in actual flight; and

If you don't meet those, some have been able to work at AMF in the training department until they meet the minimums.

Default multi time @ AMF

The 135 regs don't have any particular multi time requirements. A lot of places require the magical 100 hrs multi. I've been seeing applicants come through AMF with as little as 40 hours multi. The average is right around 50-150 for line pilots going into the Cheiftain.

The Chieftons duty on around 1845 fly to DFW, go to the crash pad, come back in aroun 630 and fly home by 900 ish. Roughly 2 block time hours per leg from Pampa and 1.5 hours from Vernon.

Default Dfw

I got hired on with AMF with around 130 hrs multi. I went TDY (temporary duty) to DFW for two weeks doing the DFW-SPS-F05 run.

Where do the aircraft spend the weekend? Do you start from Pampa on Monday or DFW?

Pampa or F05 (Vernon)

With the Jumpset you can commute Pampa if you so desire. Just keep in mind that AMF will fire people that consistantly miss flights because they couldn't commute in. Pampa, for example, costs AMF about $3-4K to cover for an absent PA31 captain. F05 is driveable from DFW and I believe AMF is paying for a hotel for the permanent pilots that want to live in DFW if they get themselves up there.

BTW, the PPA and F05 runs are Mon night through Fri Morning.

Wildcat1,

Who is the jump seat with. I live in Fort Worth so I guess during the week you get up to Pampa and start the route that Mon night and then finish Fri morning then I would get back to Fort Worth on my own?

We can jump on SWA...and yes you are on your own getting to and from your station. They expect you to live there. If you leave on your time off, they can't do anything about that, but if you don't get back....don't come back.
