Apparently I am not a very good communicator.
The word "deficiency" was used referring to IFR skills and procedures.
All I said was "I would think that you need to be solid before you get there, flight school is over."
Now how anything could be read into that is beyond me. In other words I said, that you need solid IFR skills to become employed in an IRF freight gig. How is that taking a shot at anyone flying freight? If anything its a compliment because I know damn well you guys have mad IFR skills.
Hopefully that clarifies things.

Well put. I went through indoc with a guy that had a great deal of flying experience, with 5,000 or so hours in various turboprop airplanes. He was "exposed" in the sims for having rather weak IFR skills, and quit. The training department offered to work with him, but he decided to leave.

I used to fly the -31 out of KPHX for their competitor back in the day, just down the ramp on the north side of the field.

Dude.... is there anything that you HAVEN'T flown?

BTW.... At ALEA. Talked to your colleagues. One sits next to you. Wanted me to tell you "Quack quack" whatever that means.

What brings you to the ALEA expo? I think one or two of our guys went. Interesting stuff and time there from past experiences. But no time to go this time around. Some of my lesser productive colleagues always seem to have open time for these. :D

Sherri is moving to the Washington area to go and enjoy life. She's certainly earned it, and as everyone's already stated, she's as awesome as they come.

I'm a current instructor in the AMF training department and would be more than happy to answer anyones' questions regarding AMF (feel free to PM me please). Additionally, if you have any anonymous thoughts or suggestions you'd like to shovel my way, by all means toss it on over.

I’m happy to announce that Ameriflight has signed an agreement to help facilitate our
pilots being hired by Allegiant. We have agreed that if Ameriflight pilots have met
specific eligibility requirements, they will be provided a guaranteed interview with
preferential hiring at Allegiant.
The relationship that Ameriflight is cultivating with Allegiant is also important. At a
recent job fair, Brian met with the Allegiant Chief Pilots, and the hiring booths of the two
companies, by design, were located next to each other. This relationship helps ensure
that we will be able to highlight the flying and management skills of our pilots to the
Allegiant management staff. We plan on ensuring that we continue to strengthen our
relationship with Allegiant which should benefit both companies, and more importantly,
should benefit our pilots.


The eligibility requirements for this program are:


1. First Class Medical

2. ATP with a type rating in one of Ameriflight’s aircraft.

3. 3,000 hrs total flight time. Of which:
a. 1,500 hours has to be while employed at Ameriflight

b. 1,000 hours has to be pilot in command of a turbine aircraft.

4. Successful completion of Ameriflight training with 90% first time pass rate.

5. Employment at Ameriflight for 3 years.

6. During that 3 years – a minimum of 9 months in some type of supervisory role
(e.g. Training Captain, Check Airman, Program Mgr, Asst Chief Pilot, etc.) unless
waived by Ameriflight’s Chief Pilot.

7. Consent to release of employment records and performance reviews in a manner

satisfactory to Ameriflight.
 
I look at it as another carrot since they've hired about 12 of us without this. Realistic and at least it's mainline. Not a career stop in my mind with the limited information I have now though. Still better than a regional and Jet Blue IMO
 
Guess I can't really say for sure. The guys I've talked to from Allegant were FLL guys that weren't getting TDYed and didn't have delays between indoc and sim. Im aware that that can happen there.

I've only chatted with about a dozen crews in Aruba and they didn't seem happy at all. Most of those were during the Christmas fiasco though...
 
I'm glad to see that management is trying and I appreciate that. I do want to see this actually work out for a few people before I decide to settle in for to more years though. It also looks like I have some reading to do on AAY.
