Ameriflight turbine time building

[skyaddict]

Any Ameriflight guys out there? Wondering what sort of time you build in the 99's. Have heard as low as 350 h /year as well as much higher. Thanks.

it just depends on your run. some runs are as little as 1.5 hrs per day, and some are as long as 4-5 hrs a day. 4-700 hrs a year is what you can reasonably expect in a 99.

Do they hire right into the BE99? I am sick of the airline life and want a change, but don't want to go fly a piston.

How senior is the Seattle base?

Yep, they do hire directly into the BE99. I believe turbine experience is required.

The Seattle base is quite senior for turbine aircraft. I don't think its too difficult to get a Chieftain out of Seattle but there does have to be an opening.

What is the most junior BE 99 base?I would imagine Oak,Slc,or Bil.

Correct, Billings is most junior, followed by Oakland and then SLC.

Is it still possible to upgrade around six months if your willing to move and how senior is Phx?
