Default Re: Ameriflight hiring?

off topic:

Thats really scary. Some of my students really disliked me as an instructor. We were friends and all, but in the airplane I was a whole different person. I was that way for a reason though. I knew that one day, in the very near future, they'd be carrying passengers around in this in very large aircraft with Captain Whoknowswhat in the left seat!

So I'll admitt that I really got on their case when they screwed up to ensure that those screw ups never happened again and yeah I did made them learn DME arcs and approaches even though all of the flight schools planes had no DME equipment (but I had a hand held GPS).

I did this for two reasons:

I would feel personally responsible if they (some of them my really close friends) made a mistake that hurt them and a whole lot of other people.

I don't want to have to go break dancing in OKC.

on topic:

I can say that most pilots that have gone through a few years at AMF have not had any problems with any other training. Be it 121 or 135 from small business jets all the way up to the 747.... I bump into former AMF'ers everywhere!
