Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We’re happy to hear you found value in our flight training as well as your position with us as a pilot! While the majority of our schedules are not this way, we definitely understand that 14 hour days can be exhausting. We want all of our pilots to be well rested for their flights which is why there is a break in the middle of the day – so the day may be 14 hours, but the flying is only two to six with a break in between. That being said, our teams are working on plans to implement a four day work week. If you ever find yourself back at Ameriflight, we hope you enjoy the changes.

Pros

The director is a great guy and is an advocate for the specialists. It was a relatively easy job. Good job for somebody right out of college.

Cons

No company culture. Old and Cold atmosphere. Horrible communication, outdated systems. “This is how we’ve always done it” attitude. Turnover rate through the roof in IT and MX, so few things can ever be completed or done correctly. Very old aircraft leading to MX problems and cancellations. Commissions are way below average and the market is very volatile. Do not expect to make 80-100k, more like 50k after taxes. No room for growth. Insurance is bad.
