That is if you truly want to scape the bottom of the pile. Nothing like flying a lear to HI . Do not try and quit and go to work for competion either. You must sign a no compete clause for 150 miles. The owner of this ops is so bitter that he will litigate you until you run out of money.

Seems odd you would be asking about Ameriflight. They are not a corporate flight department or passenger charter operation (yet, I hear when Check 21 takes effect they may change over some of their Lears.) I believe they are 402s out of PDX. AMF is the largest part 135 all freight operator in the country.

I flew for AMF for nearly 15 years, based out of BUR-ONT-LAX, DEN, PHX, OAK and SLC. As far as freight operators go, I have my bias but I think they are the best. Some will likely not agree. Eventually even I had to move on to other things though.

Good Luck.

I am trying to get out of the 121 business and looking at the Portland Oregon area. I was hoping anyone might have any insight into a corportate gig out there. I was even thinking about Ameriflights 421 out of PDX.

Been 121 flying for 7 years now and it is time to move on. Pay is not the only thing I am worried about. What is more important to me is an enjoyable workplace for me to hang my hat.

Thanks

There's a bunch of corporate stuff going on out of Salem, too. I can't tell you who all the companies are, but it might be worth checking around there.

I didn't see much in Salem when I was there last year. However, they may have been hiding it from me. Evergreen's corporate headquarters is at MacMinnville and Dell Smith has a Gulfstream and a Lear based there the last I knew, which was a long time ago. Eugene and Medford have a number of charter outfits but I don't know about corporate.

I think there is a Falcon 2000 at Salem, are there any other jets there?

Now, Evergreen, there's a quality corporate job for you!

G100 Unless they've changed in the last year Nike has a G-V and a G-IV. I think even Phil Knight would have a hard time getting a job (if he was a pilot) in that flight department. They do have the coolest paint jobs of any corporate jet I've seen.

Premier Jets is downsizing. Do not go there.

Aero Air occasionaly hires people. They are actually a very large company and operate jets for a number of corporotions up and down the west coast.

FlightCraft has an operation at PDX.

Evergreen has a G-II (maybe III) and a Lear out of McMineville. I don't think anybody could get those jobs who hasn't been with the company a long long time.

Warn (makes winches and stuff for 4X4's) has a flight department at Aurora.

Not trying to throw a wet blanket on your hopes to work at Portland. But the competition is high and choices low, unfortunately people have decided Portland is a good place to live.

The reality is it rains all the time. Go back to California!

They did. They sold the G-IV and purchased a brand new Falcon 2000EX.

What, flying a non-RVSM G-II, in a constant fuel emergency, to all parts of the uncivilized world with you own criptograph ... what is not quality about that!

So...what...they're going from 2 airplanes down to 1? Can't get much smaller than that!
