Ameriflight flying..

Yes you load your own airplane....... If you ask mgt if you get paid for it, the answer will be, "Yes, it is a part of your job, and we pay you to do your job."

In the pistons you are pretty much on your own to load. The bigger planes UPS loads at the hub (ONT) then you unload at each stop and load it in the afternoon to go back (with help form the drivers). The overnight bank stuff between BUR-OAK is loaded/unloaded by lineservice.

Long and short of it, just like many things at AMF :some runs are better than others...................

Thanks! I've got a friend with a gimp arm that's trying to move up in the flying world. He won't waste AMF's time.

New question: Does AMF require the pilots to load their own planes? Do they get paid for it?
Thanks! Maria

On DHL(CVG based) or FedEx(don't think AMF does any dedicated FedEx routes anymore, though) - no. On all the rest, yes...some of the time, at the very least.

What aircraft are based in Salt Lake City? Is that a fairly senior base? Is it possible to trade domiciles whenever a spot opens up, or is there some kind of base lock/waiting period deal?

-thanks

I know that its only turbine aircraft.They have b-99 and metros.I don't know if they have 1900's.

It is possible to switch domiciles, but isn't always easy. Depends where you want to transfer. Some bases are easier to transfer into than others.

thanks

Is it possible to go in and apply at a specific domicile for that location only....or is it just through the online app. and take whatever base they might offer.

Call the base you interested in, you've got nothing to lose. If you have to take a different domicile don't worry, there tends to be a bit of turnover in SLC.

Such sweet memories

"For those of you going to PDX, make sure you wear your hats and gloves, it can get pretty cold up there." I was born and raised on the left coast and this genius wants to tell me how to dress in Oregon while teaching me basic indoc in BUR. Strange after all these years, this is the only thing I remember.
As to the question on do you load and unload your own airplane - my back is still sore some mornings - 10 years later.
Got in, got my time, got out - that is the way to fly for AMF.

Bob Sulahian. Reminded me of Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man.

Loading your own plane? Yeah, that's the company sponsored gym. Always get a good physical AND mental (trying to prevent a mis-sort) workout.

You can move around the bases by putting in a standing bid. For example, you could state you want any 99 opening, or you can specify you want only openings in OAK.
