They aren't hiring EMB120 FO's any more are they?

Hmm - but you know you're going to be traveling Thursday well beforehand? Trying to understand if the week or two of off time is fixed and allows you to be "off the grid".

The ACP schedule is a bit intense since we are trying to get you up to Captain mins as quickly as possible. You won't have a base and we send you anywhere in our system where you work our typical schedule alongside a Captain.

Once you become a Captain, you'll be able to choose your base from what's available. Then you would work the typical schedule. If you are unable to relocate, Home-Based may be an option. That schedule is different at 14/7/14/14.

Hi, there!

Here are the mins for the ACP FO position: 800 TT, 25 ME, 300 XC (defined as point to point), 100 night, 500 PIC, 75 instrument
It looks like your TT, ME, and Turbine are great. Unfortunately, your PIC is too low.

Our pilot programs are all relatively new. We've had a handful flow over so far. We also have eight pilots in our UPS Gateway Program.

Hope that helps!

Hi, there!

We are currently wrapping up hiring for our August class and already have several lined up for our September class.
I would say to submit an application for the October class in the next couple of weeks. Definitely before September 15th!

Hope to have you on our team soon!

Hi FreightDogs,
I'm wondering if those minimums are assuming all fixed wing experience? Ie. if someone started with 700TT in helicopters and then did all the required fixed wing addon certificates/ratings, applicable 135 fixed-wing experience, and 800TT would AmeriFlight consider them?

Do you have to become a UPS intern in order to do the gateway program? Thx.

Negative. The UPS intern program is refered to as "Phase 1." Phase 2 is for existing AMF pilots and pilots who hire direct to AMF. There a number of targets to meet in the course of the program leading to a final one year mentor program culminating in a formal interview invitation. FreightDog can give you more specific information but short answer it is available to all pilots who wish to pursue that path.

Good to know. Thanks!

Welp, found out from recruiting today that the Home Based Captain positions are only available to people who don't already live near an AMF base (within an hour).



I'm sure it's my misunderstanding but this is not the impression I've been given here in the forums so just FYI if anyone else was thinking like me, who can't relocate and wanted to use the HBC Schedule for QOL and to do other work to boost income.


Gonna have to figure something else out I guess.
