" A friend of mine works there, they WILL NOT UPGRADE FROM THE PANEL to the right seat. They want guys with an A&P so they can to defer stuff till they get back to mia. The other reason they want their FE’s to have a commercial is a FAR to do with training. IF an FE applicant has his/her commercial then all training and check ride can be done in the sim. If not, then the applicant need 4 hours of FLIGHT training before check ride(which is too expensive). Amerijet has found a small pool of guys with an A&P and 250 hours and a wet commercial and are WILLING TO PAY ($7500 )FOR THEIR OWN FE ticket. Not to be a conspiracy nut, but the chief pilot works on the side for Aeroservies, and supposedly he gets some kind of kick back for every guy that they get to sign up for the program. From what I hear, they treat the FE’s like crap and have a high turnover rate, but they don’t care because they have a number of guys willing to buy more FE’s tickets and so on."
