Ameriflight not hiring FO's
I recently spoke with an Ameriflight Regional Chief Pilot. He told me that they had SIM issues, and do not know when they will be back up, therefore they are not hiring any FO's at the time. Also, I meet all minimum requirements and some, he told me that they are seeking candidates with a CFi certificate only.
Hope this helps for all the non-CFI'S that meet requirements.

Your surprise about a 135 operator is as much as a surprise to me when I found out. I reached out to Ameriflight by calling them. For a while now, I have not seen any postings on their website for FO positions, so I went out my way. I was put in contact with the West Regional Chief Pilot. He asked me to send him my resume. Long story short, his reasoning for Ameriflight looking for candidates with CFI cert is......#1. Their personal preference, and #2. Because eventually they want that person eventually taking on leadership roles. IE ( a captain coaching and counseling, taking on leadership roles). I must say, I guess my 12-1/2 years in the military and four combat deployments is not suffecient enough..........and the previous roles in management at different jobs while obtaining both my Associates Degree and Bachelors degree. I fully understand that taking on leadership roles and moving up to a captain position at any airline or company is important, but seeing a candidate that already pocessess those qualities should also be taken into consideration.
