First of all, please allow me to preface this thread with the disclaimer that I’ve performed a search and reviewed the “thousands” of Ameriflight threads prior to posting.
I anticipate relocation to Portland within a year. I am hoping to hang my hat with Ameriflight for 8+ years in Portland. From reviewing the AMF posts, I haven’t been able to get my hands around career progression at Ameriflight. I understand the duty days are long, the equipment operated, and the starting pay.
My priorities (in order) are locale, MX, QOL, pay, stability, and equipment (advancement and upgrade). By all accounts, it appears Ameriflight fits the bill to a tee.
It’s time to return the favor of moving around for my career to my old lady. Oregon is her call – time to come back home and buy a house, start a family, and be in a position to compete for a major/national opportunity in ten years or so. She has a great job, so household income isn’t a factor, but I won’t work for free just because I can.
If any long-term AMF’ers would care to reply, I have some questions:
1) Are there annual raises at AMF or do you increase your salary by upgrading equipment only?
2) Do duty days get shorter with seniority?
3) After five years, assuming a logical progression and ceteris paribus, how much could I expect to be making? How long would my duty days be? What would I be flying?
4) Am I nuts?
Thank you in advance for your replies.
