Post Ameriflight

Ameriflight interests me in the near future and I had a few questions.

Where do the majority of pilots go after working for ameriflight? How about average time spent working there untill leaving for something different?

Thanks

p.s. I'm not all about the wham bam thank you ma'am (at least not with employment!), just trying to get a picture for the future.

Pilots go from Ameriflight to everything from regionals to charter and fractionals all the way to UPS and Southwest. It just depends on where you want to go and getting the amount and type of flying time you need to get there.

The places I've seen em go:
Frontier
Evergreen
Skywest
Delta (corporate)
Net Jets
Go Jet
Alpine
AMF is best connected with Southwest through their jumpseating agreement, and UPS/DHL through their freight contracts. Hope this helps.

Dittos... I've even heard of people from AMF interviewing at Cathay Pacific. I know one just got hired at Continental recently.

Thanks guys.

I was looking through some old posts and found some answers too.

Here's a good question: Are there any outstations that allow the pilot to go skiing (downhill) during the day and fly home at night? If there were, you'd think it would go senior, but you never know.

thanks

I think Wenatchee has a ski place near by (PDX PA31), Jackson Hole (SLC BE99, probably the best bet as its pretty junior in the winter), Elko NV (SLC BE99, has a "ski bowl" with lifts but only on weekends, you can walk up the hill though).

Those are all I know of.

Yep and there is even 1 in BUR, flight 132 goes up to mammoth and you are in mammoth all day, and then come back in the afternoon/ evening in a pa-31..the guy that holds the line really likes it so it could take a little trying to get but def obtainable...

I was at AMF from Aug 2000 until May 2001. Went to a regional.

Plenty of runs in Texas that qualify on this item. imp::laugh:
