Don’t feel bad, I know several people who were passed up the second time they applied with AMF. If they make you an offer the first time, take it. They will not hire you if you try a second time around.

AMF has always been a company that bites the hand that feeds them. Always has, always will. They think beggars can be choosers.

My understanding of Amflight ops is that you fly out in the morning, hang out all day, and then fly back in the evening. Which aircraft have this type of schedule? Could you do something like bring your bike (into road cycling)? Or take online classes? Have a second job?

Hey Javichu,

I also applied to AMF but ended up not taking the job, mostly because of the negative atmosphere and reputation of the company. So you are certainly not alone. I am continually shocked by AMF's bad atmosphere and reputation, but more importantly, their total unwillingness to do anything about it. But like Jetlife said, this will probably never change.

Are you ready to fly Caravans?

The one consideration is if the time at the out station is when you are expected to get your legal rest, you need to make sure you are rested to do your entire run. If you are out doing activities instead of resting, there will certainly be questions if you call out fatigued when you get around to the morning part of your duty time.
