Best 135 cargo operaters.

I think someone on flightinfo said you have to live in Columbia SC. All I know is thats where a lot of their flights to JAX come from.

Ameriflight. Just trained a guy who flew in Alaska with minimal multi hours and they hired him in the 99. Pretty good TPIC times right off the bat.

How often does Ameriflight hire into the 99?

Ameriflight

I vote for Ameriflight. Great training, (can be) quick upgrades, ok pay (actually among the better), large stable company....and I've enjoyed working for them

Ram Air Freight in Raleigh, NC.

Hands down the best 135 operation in the United States. Not only did I have the honor of flying there, I worked in management as well. If your serious about being a career pilot. RAF will show the road that leads to good things.

Nothing beats flying freight in shorts and flip flops! The friendships, the stories, the planes, it was the best experience of my flying career.

Now I fly all over the world, and have what some consider the best flying job possible...

I still miss my days at old Ram Air!

Ameristar does not currently hire Captains off of the street. They did in the past only when there weren't enough qualified F/O's to upgrade.

Jim Hankins Air Service was very good to me. They operate Shorts Sherpas, Beach Turboliners, DC-3's and BE-18's, most of the work is UPS contracts and mail. They are out of Hawkins Field Jackson, Mississippi. Good luck.

P.S. ASA is hiring at 600tt and 100multi. If you don't mind working for Sky West, or contract negotiations.

Hey, where did you fly the -301 at? That was the 3rd ag plane I ever flew. I was 19.

Must say airnet has been pretty good throughout my years here. Never had a problem with MX or WX cancellations. Always top notch on fixing problems with both a/c and personal needs. They have an SIC program which will get you in with low time. Pay first year is great, after that it is ok...definately not a life time company anymore, but put in a couple of years and get some good Turbine (jet) time and a type. Really not bad at all.

There are others, i have heard both negative and positive about all the companies mentioned here so far, including my own. YOU MUST DO YOUR HOMEWORK FIRST, no matter where you go, make sure you visit with each of your choices before settling down at one. As they say, due diligence is the only way to go.
