I take back what I said. Dumpster fire may not be an overexaggeration at this point.

Alpine is not what it once was.

Lolol dang it sounds like alpine is on a collision course or something. It smells like maybe new (bad) management took over that place? What exactly is going on?

I almost took an offer to work there back in 2021 but declined due to the ridiculous cost of living in many of alpine’s bases, namely Denver and Provo. Just couldn’t justify it on the pay that was offered. But I’ve always heard it was a fantastic company to work for. Hate to see it fall, which is what sounds like is happening to it.

This right here is why everything is falling apart. We are losing mechanics also, we're down to 11 mechanics in BIL for 20 planes.

I can't speak to the maintenance side of the house but everything from the pilot side is humming along normally. No dumpster fire currently. In fact, there are a few 1900 PiC openings currently.

Alpine is excited to announce a guaranteed interview with Omni Air International based on a few prerequisites:

· Pilots must upgrade to the B1900 and reach 1200 hours in type

· If the pilot works toward becoming a Training Captain or Check Airman in either airframe, this number will be reduced to 800 hours in type



Preferred qualifications include:



B1900 Flight Time:

1200 Total

100 Multi



BE99 Flight Time:

1150 Total

Must have ME, instrument, and commercial ratings



BE99 First Officer:

900 Total

Must have ME rating



This position is a Full-Time position. First year pilots can typically expect to earn between $55,000-$60,000 per year for BE99 Captains, while B1900 Captains can expect $70,000-$80,000 utilizing compensation programs like rate per route, per diem, annual retention bonus, etc. Compensation is based on a 5 day work week so you will be paid for 5 days even if working only 4 days. Benefits include: Generous Paid Time Off, ten (10) paid holidays per year, Medical, Dental, Vision, Life Insurance, and 401(k) with employer contribution are available immediately upon employment.

Ameriflight does pay more. I'll also mention that Alpine has not paid me on time twice during my time here. Dont get me started on aircraft being grounded by the feds and the guy with a mugshot online that has somehow found his way into upper level management...

I have no dog in the fight. Just saying that the guy was using old info to back up his claims about Ameriflight paying more.

The reality is, if the operator is where you live, that’s probably where you end up. In the past when Ameriflight flew out of Billings and Salt Lake, you could make a choice. Back then, you had to pay to train though…. Even more recently when AMF was in Salt Lake, pay would be a factor. Those days are gone though. I doubt any bases overlap and this 135 charter fad sounds like it is fading quickly.

In my opinion, get in, get your time, and get out. A handful of people do stay at a place like AMF or AIP. In the end though, they are all low budget entry level jobs. Running on thin margins with the occasional bad seeds mixed in. Half the stuff that goes on, you have to ask yourself, does a 121 airline do this? They rely on the young, eager, and cheap pilot

You're right, but Ameriflight's current pay scales are better than Alpine's.

You're spot on with everything. Get in. Get out. Dont expect it to be a place you'd like to stay for any length of time.
