Not worried about vacation pay I know I would be a new employee but would lose a bunch of money if I can’t go non refundable and all. But I would hate to have to wait until mid April to apply.

Anyone know what their policy would be for something like this?
Hi, Lynn!

I would say to go ahead and apply for sure!
As long as we know about the time you need off and you're out of training, you can totally take it (non-paid unfortunately).
Training is typically 6 weeks, so we'll need to try to get you in our January class if possible.
But as far as simply applying, yes, go for it!

Let me know if you have any other questions!

What is your PIC time? That'll differentiate between the two.
How much of the instrument is in the aircraft? Actual and hood together.

We have positions open in at our ONT base and would love to have you apply for one!
Honestly, wanted to be on B1900.
PIC: 1400
Airplane hood and actual: 135
-Hood instrument: 108
-Actual instrument: 27

I have heard Ameriflight isn’t really compatible with commuting. Are there openings in BFI? I have a house in the Seattle area so moving is not really an option. Or somewhere else that I could commute from Seattle.

I have 1540 TT
Part 135 pt to pt 647.6
PIC 1405.7
IFR actual 25.5
IFR hood time 109.6
Multi 50.2
Night 75.0
SEL, SES, MEL, COMM, INST, CFI

Yeah, commuting isn't real easy. Particularly since most of our runs operate M-F or even Monday evening through Saturday morning.

FreightDogs can better answer the question of BFI openings specifically. Looking at your times, you're still about 25 hours short of 135 requirements for night time. We can probably get you 10-15 of that during training. And while your total and PIC time would lean toward a 1900 or possibly metro, you multi time probably will mean you would need to start out in a BE99.

Hi!

We only have one EMB120 route in Puerto Rico.
The route you'll be on in Aguadilla gets 100+ hours per month.
It's stunning, no doubt!

Here is our preferred mins for the 1900: 1,800 TT, 250 ME, 500 XC (defined as point to point), 100 night, 1,000 PIC, 100 instrument, 100 Turbine, 121 or 135 experience

Your PIC, Turbine, and ME hours would trump the 200 TT extra we "want" you to have for the 1900. You're looking very good for a 1900 Captain position! So really the only question left is what type of aircraft have you been flying and what kind of flying have you been doing? Also what aircraft did you fly while gaining your PIC and what type of flying while gaining PIC?
Feel free to send me a PM if you'd prefer not to discuss in public!
