Ameriflight

I think PHX is better...course I'm based there.

 

[tinman]

Is Ameriflight currently hiring?

Yes. When I was down in BUR, seemed like 2 or 3 interviews a day.

 

[Flyin Tony]

I see the mins on twin time is 50, Anyone getting on with less?

 

[FlyGuy78]

Just wondering how long it takes to get a call.... 2006tt 935 multi (822 SIC Jet) Furloughed from Comair...

I applied in early January and haven't heard anything...I've spoke with a few current Ameriflight pilots and both have said it could be anywhere from 1 week to 1 month to hear back.

I just thought Ameriflight was really short pilots in SLC so they would be calling quicker for interviews...

Did you apply online? If so, that system sucks. If you can get down there or if you know somebody that can hand it in, that's the ticket. And SLC isn't the only place that's short.

I did apply online but I've also recently sent my resume via email. I've been trying to get ahold of Jerry Clark but it seems like he is never there. Others have told me this is the guy to contact to try and get an interview.

I don't know anybody that works at Ameriflight. I'm done with flying in the regionals and now am looking to move into cargo.

Thanks for your reply tinman...

 

[tinman]

Jerry is the man. Cool guy, but yes, hard to get a hold of.

Pretty sure Alpine Air is PFT. Appreciate the thought, but no thanks.

Yes they do PFT, but they have hired 135 VFR pilots into the 99 in the past. This info is a couple of years old though.

Went into PHX the other night and was told to hold short of the ramp for a Metro rapidly approaching our intersection.. My anal CA I was flying with decided to have a few words with him on the radio. Entertaining to say the least! I know there's alot of pressure from the brown wonder to get sh$t there on time.

 

[DirtyBeech]

nah, they don't really care if you get there on time as long as you block on schedule. as long as you block on time you can clear the chocks, burst into flames, melt into a little puddle, and they'll be just as happy as hogs in slop. the outstation will call looking for you, and the base will be like "...i..i...don't know where he is. he blocked out on time."

or so i've heard at least .

So why did I have to miss the last 15 min. of Family Guy every morning in MSY? ...Doh!! Forgot that was a bank run! Ya'll still doing any bank business?

 

[DirtyBeech]

nope, not doing bank business anymore except in the pacific northwest where air is the only feasible option for the isolated towns. and any responsible freight pilot carries full season dvd's of the Family Guy to play on their laptop while the captain snoozes on the way back to dfw.

 

[DeathPencil]

gotta have the inflight movie. how's training going?

 

[PA31Driver]

Hey DeathPencil, enjoying sunny SoCal?

 

[DirtyBeech]
