Ameriflight

Training captain pay for the 99 is 1200 net per paycheck. IF they use you. ;) 800ish is normal if you get insurance. 1000 without That's why I say freight isn't a place for the long term. It's for flight time and then you get out. You're ahead for a few years in career earnings in freight. Perhaps not at Ameriflight, but NON of my peers in the regional world will touch my career earnings so far as I had a high paying run at FLX last year. YMMV

Insurance is only $94 pre-tax if you are single, nowhere near $200 per check.

The ten year old pay scale says otherwise. There are some carriers that operate the BE99 above the AMF Metro rates. If our metro rates were properly adjusted for inflation we should be getting low 50s on first year pay. Also the turbine retention bonus has been reduced from 10% to 7% since that started. Technically that has been a pay cut for pilots that already operate below industry standards.

3rd year pay for a captain in the bro is around 45k. Compare that to SkyWest 3rd year pay and prepare to cry.

AMF is a get your time and get out type of place. If you can stomach 2-3 years you wont be in a bad position.

Ya I would argue that it is probably the lowest paid freight operator when you compare similar airframes. I think the pay over at West Air is way better flying Caravans than flying anything in the AMF arsenal.
 
It sounds like AMF is taking advantage of the situation, knowing that they're attracting time builders, so what's the point in paying them on par with other 135 freight operations? Seems like the added cost in the training dept for the turnover is still less then bumping up the the pay scale.
 
From what I understand, most of upper management lives in this century and gets the need for better pay and treatment. There is one person who does not agree because he lives in the 50's.

It isn't. That's the ironic thing about it.

Ya, it costs way too much to train and upgrade all these people. What's the turnover rate at 50% a year? You could probably increase everyone's salary 25% and come out ahead. I know if you took half of the pa31 and 99 training contract values and tacked em on to the metro pay, I'd still be flying boxes.

Exactly. 50% attrition is unacceptable and unheard of in other industries. Most realize that instead of spending thousands on training new pilots all of the time, if you put half of that money into increased salaries it would be a substantial pay raise for everyone.

And come out ahead in the end.
