I see it differently. Not many jumped shipped to AMF. That's a fact.

Only rumor I saw was how they got the contract, but that's about it... Maybe I'm missing sumin tho

Let me amend that, everything regarding the number of south aero pilots that came to ameriflight and were "fired," or "kicked out." I wasn't referring to your recent post, just those I've seen in the past few pages.

Metro training is great. The instructors are intelligent and helpful, the presentations are easy to understand/follow, and have a good approach towards the program. You'll enjoy it, do your best to have your flows down though, it always makes things progress quicker.
 
they say they are hiring for stl can i get that out of training and is it easy to jump seat and commute on ups southwest and spirit?
 
Most AMF runs are non-commutable. You might be able to go somewhere on the occasional weekend, but midweek is almost impossible.

If you are looking to commute on weekends, make sure you pick a base that has an airline that you can ride on. CVG, for instance, has no airlines that you can ride on.

Not any airline, I tried delta and couldn't get on. United I had to use my insider knowledge and find the crew.

Though, ameriflight is not commuter friendly at all. 95% of all flying is M-F or M-S, and most bases you're expected to work every week. I would seriously plan on moving to wherever you get based, unless you plan on flying home Friday evening or Saturday morning and coming back on Sunday?

Im really sure AMF did not acquire anything close to 60% of the ABQ pilot group.

Not quite sure where they all went to, but great people for sure. A few went to MedEvac though, since New Mexico is not shy of air ambulance companies.

The statistic I read is that the majority of pilots from that company that went through AMF training, washed out.
 
As others have said, commuting isn't really a viable option.

However, CVG does have an LMI run that's 4 on 3 off. SUS from what I hear is either day on day off, or the similar 4 on 3 off. A friend of mine did that CVG run and commuted from PHX, he seemed to have good things to say about it.

Any of our LMI runs will be the highest time, with schedules that vary from the normal 5 on 2 off.
