The Accelerated Captain Program (ACP) pilots are NOT able to log their FO time for things like ATP or other ratings since the BE99 does not require an SIC. It is loggable toward total time to meet part 135 times (TT, CC, Nt, Inst.)

Yes, you have to put in an application. It's for paperwork purposes to kick off the program. After that, leaders from AMF will decide if you should be placed in it. To be in the program, you have to be in good standing with AMF - so not too many sick calls, not too many write ups, not too many training failures, etc.
Formally, it's a guaranteed interview. During the program, you have to meet a series of benchmarks - leadership, personal, professional, etc. Those are outlined for you and you'll have to lead it. Your 12 month mentorship (where you'll have a UPS Captain mentor and be immersed in the UPS culture) and jet transition course is also a big part. If you get through the program, you have a guaranteed interview. Formally, that's all we can guarantee, but looking at everything that goes into it, it's your job to lose. To give you a little more comfort, you'll be connected with UPS the whole time, so it isn't likely that you'll suddenly become undesirable.

Looks like an Ameriflight BE-99 went off the runway in Hastings, NE early this morning. Great news is Pilot and copilot are OK with NO injuries.
