Base assignment depends on what aircraft you do your FO time in.

I'm not aware of any housing arrangements that AMF is doing. Most of the folks so far have come in and done their FO flying at the base they will eventually be assigned to as a captain. The ones I have dealt with already were living at their assigned bases. The only exception is a guy currently in training as a metro FO who lives in DFW but may need to do his flying (at least initially) in BUR because, while we have 2 specified metro runs in DFW we currently have no captains to fly them. The captain for one is also in this same class but the FO will be out on the line a few weeks before the captain completes training.

After you reach 1200 hours you will train as a captain in a BE99 and then transition to captain in the aircraft you did your FO flying in after a couple hundred hours.

There are high time Metro runs out of SUS, CVG, and SJU. It works out particularly well when they are international runs because our Korean friends can't fly on those in their FO program.

Otherwise, if there is a high time run in the base where you will be assigned, I've seen that too.

Koreans usually get the SUS runs since it is a high time run that stays domestic. SJU is easy to get into for an FO.

I am looking at applying for the metro opening at SAT. I meet all of the requirements and have a decent amount of metro time already. This will be my first 135 job if I'm hired, and I am looking for a little more info on this base as far as schedule, hours flown, any information I can get... Is the pay really what they say it is?

I've combed through this thread but there are far to many posts and I have not seen anything on this base..

Thanks in advanced

Hello, curious what the current hiring situation is for the ONT base. Thank you!

Last I heard, ONT could use 99 pilots

Thanks Tom. I saw a couple of listings for pilots at ONT just wasn't sure how up to date it was. I'll check it out..Best..

Hello all. I'm reporting to DFW on the 11th for Indoc for the Chieftan. Living in Phoenix; expecting my first base to be ABQ. Anyone else going to Indoc on the 11th? Also, any Amflighter's familiar with the runs out of ABQ?

Hello jmak! PM me, I'm happy to provide some insight.

What did they tell you the pay was? The numbers posted here on APC are accurate from what I have seen.

PM me about SAT. I'm not sure which run they are advertising but I know the base well.
