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.

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! |
One of the Mesa CRJ guys who went to China came back to the states (they're shutting that down) and I talked to him in the crew room in PHX for a little while, I was traveling through PHX and waiting for my connection.
Man... I never knew the CRJ-200 was a single pilot airplane, but thats pretty much what it was.
