Is Ameriflight hiring pilots with time lower than their posted minimums? Does anyone here know if they have hired guys with less than 500hrsTT?

Yes, we've been hiring lower than 500 hours, but not much lower. 450 TT if you have your CFI.

Are you currently hiring for the ACP program? I have the hours and would be very interested in the program. I have been out of flying for a few years years but I am planning on getting current and polishing my instrument skills while I wait on my passport renewal. I also have over 200 hrs. multi

Thanks.

Thanks FreightDog for all your awesome info!

I'll be finishing up my current contract at the end of the year. Will be close to a 1000tt with over 120 instrument. Only snag is I will need to get my multi done as soon as I can and only have about 25 hours night. So looks like I would only qualify as a regular FO?

is 500 hours good enough for a FO position, or is the reality more hours required to be competitive?

Yes, the minimums are good enough. The only real aspect to "competitive" is when we have our next opening. We aren't hiring permanent first officers, so they turn over fairly quickly. Our first officers, while they are required crew members in the E120, are also here to get the hours required to become captains in our BE99s and then follow on aircraft.

In your situation, that could take as little as 4-6 months.
