ok. thx for the response and clarification. I will ask if he is willing to relocate, more than likely he will be. I saw in an earlier post where you listed all of EMB bases.

Thanks again.

Yep, you got it! Those are the bases our EMB120s fly out of.

So once he got to the hours required for CA upgrade would he then move to the left seat? How many hours is that floor? 1,000 or 1,200?

Thanks again.

Yes, if he comes in as a regular First Officer on the EMB120, he'll upgrade to a full BE99 Captain at 1,200 hours.

Thanks again.

As FreightDogs said, he would move to the left seat of the BE99. Not directly to the left seat of the Bro. That was why I thought maybe you were talking about another company. I thought you were talking about moving right seat to left of the same company. That would take a couple of years.

We talked after he got home from work and he is ready for a different type of flying and location to do that flying.

Thanks for responding.

Whom should he reach out to at Ameriflight?

We don't have any First Officer positions open on our careers website right now, so I would advise sending a resume with update flight times and availability (location and earliest month to start) to our pilot recruiters at [email protected].

So what is the difference between a restricted ca and one that is not? I realize that total hours is the main difference, 1,000 and 1,200. Does the ca have to use higher approach minimums?

Thanks for educating me.

I come from a military background, so this civilian career path is a different beast.

They fly SIC until they reach 1,000 TT and then they become a restricted Captain in the BE99. With being restricted, they will have a regular Ameriflight Captain as a mentor and will have slightly lower weather mins (not quite VFR, just lower than normal). Once the pilot reaches 1,200 TT, they become a regular full blown BE99 Captain.
