Craig,
First, thank you for what you do…providing excellent information!
I am new to Aero Crew and fairly new to the 121 environment. I spent 26 years in the USAF and as I regain my currency in the Regional environment I am trying to locate some good information regarding “upgrades and time to upgrade” for all of the majors so I can try to make an informed decision IF I have a choice when it comes time to move on to one of the Major Airlines.
Appreciate any vectors you can offer. I did take a look at the “grid” but I was unable to locate the info.
Please and Thanks!
Gary G.Washington D.C.
Gary,
It is hard to tell without getting a hold of the actual seniority lists how long upgrade time will be. Even then the predictions can only be made strictly on retirements and current aircraft. The problem with that is a dip in the economy can effect those numbers drastically. Conversely an increase in flying will make that time much shorter. We do try to provide the hire date of the most junior CA on property. This is usually updated ever couple of months. The Major Grid does have a section called, “Most Junior CA hired.” We are always trying to update this information and as always appreciate feed back and updates from our readers. I was able to obtain some additional dates at some of the majors. Please refer to The Major Grid to see what upgrade time is at the Major Airlines. Additionally Scott Stahl wrote a great article for us in our September issue. To view that issue visit aerocrewnews.com/archive.html.

Aviator BulletinsThe latest aviation industry hiring news and more.
Republic Airways Holdings Inc. announced that the International Brotherhood of Teamsters’ (IBT) Local 357, which represent the approximately 2,100 pilots of Republic, have voted by a margin of 76% to ratify a new three-year contract, with approximately 85% of the eligible pilots voting.
The agreement invests approximately $50 million a year on average over the three-year duration of the new agreement, including both the ratification bonus and the anniversary bonus. The new agreement includes significant improvements in work rules and pilot quality of life. Additionally, it establishes
pay rates that recognize Republic’s pilots as leaders in the regional airline industry, including a transformational $40/hr first year new hire rate, domestic and international per diem ($1.95/$2.50), and continues to offer “No Jr. Manning”.
“This is truly an exciting time for Republic Airways. With the leading Pilot pay and benefits in the regional industry, we’re enthusiastic about what the future holds for our Crew and their employee satisfaction of flying for our airline,” said Jody Scott, Director of Talent Acquisition.

PSA Airlines Pilots Ratify Agreement to Increase Flow to American Airlines!
PSA is hiring 1000 pilots over the next 2 years and has the fastest upgrade time in the industry! PSA has a fleet of 87 aircraft that will grow to 150 by the end of 2017! Recently, PSA Airlines and the Airline Pilot’s Association reached an agreement that will convert the SSP to a true flow and incrementally double the number of PSA pilots that flow to American Airlines each year. PSA also will add a new crew base at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport opening January 2016.
PSA Airlines Pilots Ratify Agreement to Increase and Improve its Pilot Flow-Through Program to American Airlines
On October 2o, 2015, PSA Airlines reached an agreement with its pilot union to dramatically improve and increase its pilot flow-through program to American Airlines. This agreement
will almost double the current number of pilots flowing to American, culminating in nearly 100 pilots flowing per year. The agreement affords PSA pilots a career path directly to American through a seniority-based flow system.
“We are pleased that our pilots, represented by the Air Line Pilots Association International, have voted in favor of this improved flow agreement,” said Michael Scrobola, Vice President of Flight Operations for PSA Airlines. “This agreement provides pilots who join PSA a guaranteed career path to the world’s largest airline, American.”
Captain Jason McConnell, Master Chairman representing the pilots at PSA Airlines stated, “The direct flow to American Airlines gives PSA pilots valuable career path certainty.”
PSA Airline will hire more than 1000 pilots in the next two years and continues to be the fastest growing regional airline in the United States.
Envoy has approved a fully-sponsored company EFB program. All pilots will receive a company-issued iPad complete with a company-paid monthly data subscription. The iPad EFB will contain all company manuals and Jeppesen navigational charts. Envoy expects to roll out the new program in 2016 and to later expand it into a fully digital cockpit.
Also, Envoy management and the union representation for the pilot group finalized a new Letter of Agreement (LOA) that pays pilots the OT premium pay (150-200%) for “lost” or “canceled” OT flying. Before the LOA, any flying picked up
for OT that was canceled or lost due to weather, misconnects, etc. was usually not paid at the OT premium pay. Today, if a pilot loses OT flying prior to signing in for their trip, they may elect to be available for reassignment, allowing them to receive the premium pay for the greater of scheduled flight time of the original OT flying, the scheduled flight time of any reassigned flying, or the actual flight time flown. This agreement was made without concessions from the pilot group and is a testament to the building relationship of management and labor. Other discussions are in place to address better reserve rules, satellite bases, and many more in an effort to benefit the pilots and the operation alike.

No airline has a better story than Piedmont Airlines. The wholly owned subsidiary of American Airlines traces its roots to 1931 and a 21 year old test pilot who turned a
fixed base operator into the country’s first commuter airline and revolutionized the commercial flight industry. Now, 84 years, three name changes and four aircraft types later, Piedmont is undergoing more of an evolution than revolution. For the first time in the company’s history, Piedmont will be operating regional jets. “Dick Henson, the founder of the company now known as Piedmont, would be proud,” said Steve Farrow, Piedmont CEO. “The introduction of the Embraer regional jets not only gives us a bright, stable future, but expands our footprint into new cities and new regions of the country. This is a great time to be on the Piedmont team.”
Piedmont will begin operating the Embraer 145 out of Philadelphia (PHL) in early 2016. In preparation, the airline will open a PHL crew base in January for both the E145 and the de Havilland Dash 8, which Piedmont will continue to operate. The PHL base will grow to include some 250 pilots. “Opening a hub domicile gives us many advantages,” said Farrow. “Not only does it improve the quality of life for our commuting pilots, but it is a great opportunity for new pilots who may not want to move at this point in their lives. A PHL base is really key to this expansion.”
Piedmont took delivery of its first Embraer on October 5 at the company’s headquarters in Salisbury, Maryland. American has committed a minimum of 20 E145 aircraft to Piedmont, with deliveries continuing throughout 2016. But fleet expansion with a new aircraft type isn’t the only great story at Piedmont. Here’s what else is new:
No interview flow to American Airlines
In late 2014, Piedmont signed a unique agreement — now known as “flow” — to provide pilots to American. Each month, Piedmont pilots can “opt in” for flow to American. Once the bid closes, the four (or more) Piedmont pilots with the most seniority are sent to Dallas or Charlotte (or other training center) to begin their mainline careers. Pilots do not have to have a college degree to flow from Piedmont (a requirement for most mainline jobs) or go through an interview process. The new agreement has changed the way Piedmont looks at potential pilots. “Pilots have plenty of options for a first year job at a regional,” said Stephen Keefer, vice president – Flight Operations. “We are looking for pilots who have much bigger career goals in mind, namely pilots who can be successful at a major airlines.”
As part of a small pilot group, Piedmont pilots will flow to American quickly. “Never before could pilots chart a path to a
major this fast,” added Keefer. “Start at Piedmont, upgrade in 12 to 18 months, and flow to American in 5 years or less. If you want to apply to another major carrier in the meantime, you certainly can, but you’ll always have the American seat as a backup. You couldn’t plan any better.”
Lyle Hogg joins Piedmont Airlines
Former US Airways vice president Lyle Hogg joined Piedmont as president in June 2015. Captain Hogg was hired as a line pilot by US Airways in 1984, rose through the management ranks and was a key figure in the US Airways-American merger. He brings to Piedmont extensive experience working with the NTSB, FAA and aircraft manufacturers, as well as a unique perspective on hiring and training pilots who want to pursue a career at a legacy airline. Read what Captain Hogg has to say about Piedmont’s future and preparing pilots to flow to American, on page 13.
12 | Aero Crew News Back to Contents
Not new, but notable
• Piedmont is currently running 12 to 18 months to upgrade; previous 121 time is an advantage.
• Piedmont was the first regional training department to be fully certified by the FAA with an Advanced Qualification Program.
• Piedmont training is conducted at the American training center in Charlotte. Pilots are given single room occupancy during training, as well as pay and per diem.
• Piedmont pilots enjoy excellent family travel benefits on American; the same benefits as American pilots.
• Piedmont offers quality health insurance at a reasonable price. Currently, pilots pay less than $100 per month for individual coverage and less than $250 per month for family coverage.
• Piedmont offers free life and disability insurance
• Piedmont offers a 401(k) with company match
• Piedmont pilots receive 100 percent trip cancellation pay and 150 percent + premium pay for added flying.
• Piedmont offers a $5,000 signing bonus.
Piedmont makes commuting easier
A new crew base in Philadelphia will provide better options for pilots who wish to commute, and a new commuter policy eliminates the need for a crash pad in any domicile. Introduced in June 2015, Piedmont’s commuter policy gives pilots four hotel nights per month in base. “It eliminates the expense of a crash pad, and it takes away some of the stress associated with commuting,” said Scott McGuigan, Piedmont chief pilot. “That’s appealing to a lot of people who want to work at Piedmont, but simply can’t move to a base or don’t want to move. Piedmont pilots are actively taking advantage of the program.”
No ATP CTP? No problem.
Piedmont now provides free ATP CTP instruction to pilots who require the ATP written test. Lodging and transportation are included. Pilots who wish to be considered for the ATP CTP class should contact a Piedmont pilot recruiter for more information or email [email protected].
Refer your friends, collect $5,000
Great employees attract great employees, and Piedmont recognizes that pilot endorsements are valuable. In May, Piedmont introduced a $5,000 referral bonus to any pilot who recommends another pilot to the company. “Word of mouth is the best advertising we can do,” said Michelle Foose, vice president - Human Resources. “Our pilots know who they want to work with in the cockpit and that knowledge is important to us.” New pilots can refer their friends and family on the very first day of training, and the number of referrals is unlimited. “We have a pilot who is on track to collect $25,000 for referring five friends,” said Foose. “We see very good pilots coming through the door, so it’s working.” American also offers a $1,000 recruiting bonus to its employees for referring a pilot to Piedmont. Details can be found on the American employee website, Jetnet.
See your future at American Airlines
Qualified pilots are now flown to Charlotte to interview with Piedmont at the American training center. Prospective pilots get the chance to see where they will spend time during ground school and simulator training if hired. “We tell them to look around and notice how the Piedmont classrooms are next to American classrooms,” said Matt Berson, Piedmont pilot and pilot recruiter. “Our simulator is next to the American simulators. We point out that when they flow, they will come right back here for training. They immediately recognize the unique opportunity before them.”
EFBs for pilots in 2016
Piedmont will introduce Electronic Flight Bags (EFBs) for pilots in 2016, part of an overall update to the iPad program across American Airlines. Piedmont pilots will receive an iPad along with a 750MB domestic data plan. “This is an exciting announcement that goes hand in hand with the introduction of the Embraer 145,” said Lyle Hogg. “We are now working to fine tune the Piedmont EFB program with the goal of having an iPad in the hands of every pilot by mid-2016. American will purchase new iPads for mainline and regional pilots, allowing all pilots to participate in the same EFB program.

An interview with Piedmont president, Lyle Hogg
Former US Airways vice president, now Piedmont Airlines president, Lyle Hogg talks about growth at the company, the addition of Embraer jets and how flow is changing pilot hiring.
You were involved in pilot hiring for US Airways for many years. What is different now?
For years, pilots had to take the first job that came along and you would progress in your career somewhat by the luck of the draw. Now, young aviators have a lot of choices. Not only that, they are in an unprecedented situation where they can choose the world’s largest airline, American, simply by applying to Piedmont. Industry consolidation has left us with three robust network airlines that will be around for a long time. Sewing up a job with American Airlines through Piedmont provides our pilots and their families a great future.
When you say pilots can choose American by applying to Piedmont, you are talking about a flow agreement, correct? How does flow affect hiring?
Correct. The way these agreements are structured, American will get most of its pilots from the wholly owned carriers, including Piedmont. The next biggest group hired by American will be pilots with military experience. Considering that our parent company has more than 14,000 resumes on file for 500 pilot positions, and most of those positions will be filled by regional pilots, there will be a limited number “off the street” new hire pilots at American in the foreseeable future.
What advice would you give to a new pilot who just starting to map out his or her career?
There are only a handful of major airlines remaining that give you the option of flying a high paying, wide body aircraft later in your career. There are opportunities with freight carriers, but really, the pinnacle of our industry is going to work for one of the
three network carriers. Coming to Piedmont gives you the assurance of knowing that you will have a job at one of those three network carriers. That’s not to say you can’t apply to the other two, but here you have American flow. Further, American has 11 crew domiciles, so there’s a tremendous choice of places to live as you progress through your career.
How is Piedmont pilot hiring different from what is happening at other regional carriers?
Piedmont is in a unique position because we are hiring not only to replace the pilots who will head to American Airlines, but hiring for growth. Further, our growth in proportion to our size is greater than any other carrier in the regional industry right now. So, when you consider that we are adding about 200 new pilots in the next 18 months to cover our expansion, and adding pilots to replace the pilots who flow to American, we are talking about 260 to 280 aviators. That’s more hiring in proportion to size than any regional carrier will have in the industry.
How is that growth being managed?
We can manage the growth because it is very steady. We will be receiving one regional jet per month, and we will flow four pilots per month. It’s not explosive. We don’t want to expand too quickly as that can cause problems in training and other areas.
How do you see Piedmont fitting into the American network in the future?
We have been pledged a minimum of 20 Embraer 145 aircraft, which is about a 50 percent growth rate on our current fleet. That said, in order to be a strong part of the American network, we really need to grow more than this first 20 aircraft. There’s no reason why we can’t have a growth rate of 100 percent and expand our contribution to American. No other regional carrier has anywhere near a plan for 100 percent growth rate in coming years. As a result of that, our pilots, for quite some time, are going to enjoy rapid progression from the right seat to the left seat.
14 | Aero Crew News Back to Contents
After American announced that the Embraer 145 would be flying out of Philadelphia, Piedmont realigned its crew bases. Why?
With the announcement that our new aircraft will be flown primarily in and out of Philadelphia, we recognized a need to open a domicile there. We also heard from our pilot group that they desired a better commuting opportunity for the Dash 8, therefore, we decided to open up a domicile in Philadelphia for the Dash 8 as well. It’s just another way to make life a little easier for pilots who choose to commute to work.
Also looking forward, as our Dash 8 fleet begins to retire, we would need to make adjustments to our domiciles anyway. Adding 250 pilots to PHL meant eventually closing our smallest crew bases in New Bern and Charlottesville, so we made the decision to realign all the bases at one time at the beginning of 2016. At the end of the transition, we’ll have bases in Philadelphia (PHL), Salisbury-Ocean City, Md. (SBY), and Harrisburg, Pa. (MDT) so 75 percent of our pilots will be within two hours of a hub. The rest of our pilots are based in Roanoke, Va. (ROA), which is a very desirable location for a crew base.
Piedmont has been flying the de Havilland Dash 8 for more than 30 years. What happens to the turboprops now that jets are arriving?
We will begin to retire some Dash 8 aircraft in 2017, but 25 of them will continue to fly beyond 2020. They really serve an important niche in the American Airlines network.
Some say that “jet time” is more important than “prop time” when it comes to building a career, but you disagree. Why?
There are very few carriers in the country that perform turboprop flying, and yet flying the Dash 8 is some of the most challenging and enjoyable flying that our pilots will ever do. It is a fantastic learning situation for young pilots. As you fly larger and larger aircraft, you tend to only fly ILS approaches to 10,000-foot runways. The Dash is challenging because it goes into small airports not always served by ILS approaches. It requires you to have situational awareness at
all times to be able to maneuver the aircraft in and out of these locations. It really gives you the skills you need to be a good pilot no matter what you fly later in your career. On a different note, it’s really fun and it’s eventually going away. I hope pilots will take advantage of a type of flying that won’t be around forever.

Craig: How do you select applicants to be brought in for an interview?Matt: We look at the applicant’s overall qualifications from flight time to employment history. Once we have identified the candidate as someone we’d like to talk to, we call him or her for a brief phone screening. C: What can an applicant do to increase their chances of being called for an interview?M: We like to see some indication on the resume that he or she a strong instrument pilot. Also, being referred by a current employee who can testify to the applicant’s professionalism and abilities as a pilot, is a plus.
C: How critical is it to attend a job fair to get an interview? M: It isn’t, but we often will have at least one representative in attendance to answer questions.
C: What is the best way to prepare for an interview with your company?M: Be instrument current, study ATP written test questions and RELAX.
Interview:
C: Do you recommend that applicants get to your headquarters city the day before and get a hotel room for the night?M: We conduct most of our interviews at the American Airlines training center in Charlotte. We will fly an applicant to the training center the morning of the interview and fly them home that evening.
C: Can you walk me through a typical day of interviews?M: We begin with a company presentation – a little history and a look at how we’re growing to bring on the (Embraer
145) regional jets. We then provide lunch while we go over their paperwork and set up for the written test. At that point we transition to a 25 question, ATP-style written test and then the one-on-one technical and HR portion to wrap up the day.
C: What kind of questions can an applicant expect to be asked?M: We cannot stress enough the importance of being instrument current and competent. Expect a number of questions involving instrument procedures; holding, briefing an approach, etc. The written test was developed around the FAA ATP written exam.
C: Can you give me some examples of the TMAAT questions that you like to ask?M: These questions are usually pulled from something in the interviewee’s experience. For example, if a pilot has 121 time we often ask about a time he/she had a conflict with another crew member and how they handled it.
C: What are some of the biggest mistakes that applicants make during the interview process? M: Not being instrument proficient and not being prepared for a basic ATP style written test.
Written test:
C: Is there a written or computer test? M: Written.
C: What can you recommend applicants study for that test? At what point is this test taken?M: Sheppard Air airline prep ATP software.

INTRODUCTION
Ameriflight, LLC and our subsidiary Wiggins Airways form the largest airline operating under Part 135 of the Federal Aviation Regulations. We serve major international
integrators, manufacturers and freight forwarders throughout North America and the Caribbean.
Ameriflight is UPS’ largest feeder operator, we are DHL’s largest domestic feeder operator and a significant service provider for FedEx. In addition to small-feeder operations, we transport products used for medical imaging for two of the world’s largest manufacturers
Combined, Ameriflight and Wiggins operate 215 aircraft over 100,000 hours per year, crewed and supported by a talented and dedicated team of employees.
Operations schedules and tracks flights and coordinates with our customers. The Flight Department hires, trains and manages a roster of approximately 225 pilots. Maintenance and Quality Control oversee more than 140 technicians and support personnel who maintain our aircraft in accordance with FAA regulations and manufacturers recommendations.
Flight operations are supported by Parts & Purchasing, which controls a parts inventory of over 15 million dollars, Line Service, Ground Handling, Accounting, Administration and Safety. Ameriflight is one of the few Part 135 airlines that has a dedicated and independent Safety Department. Our Recruiting Department searches for talented pilots and mechanics and the Human Resources group assists employees in personnel administration and employee relations matters.
MISSION STATEMENT
Ameriflight is the industry’s premier air logistics solution, providing unparalleled service and value for customers, the highest dedication to safety, and a passion for excellence reflected in our workforce. This is the Ameriflight’s Mission Statement and they accomplish their mission by employing more than 700+ aviation professionals throughout North America and the Caribbean.
AMERIFLIGHT’S KEY AREAS
We break our organization into 4 key areas. The Operations team is the point of contact with the customers, they schedule and track flights, run the daily operation and ensure the customer’s needs are met. The Flight Department hires, trains and manages a roster of approximately 225 pilots located at 19 bases. A dedicated Technical Operation Team maintains and ensures the quality and reliability of more than 210 aircraft. They have more than 140 technicians and support personnel who maintain the fleet in accordance with FAA regulations and manufacturers recommendations. The final area is a Team of back office professionals that handle everything from Parts & Purchasing, Line Service, Ground Handling, Accounting, Administration and Safety. One very unique thing about Ameriflight is that it is one of the few Part 135 airlines that has a dedicated and independent Safety Department. This is not a requirement for 135 operators but Ameriflight’s dedication to safety has made this a vital part of their organization.
AMERIFLIGHT IS THE STANDARD BY WHICH ALL 135 CARGO CARRIERS ARE JUDGED.
Our airline has a fleet consisting of seven aircraft types with cargo capacities ranging from 1,700 to 8,000 pounds. The total aircraft count is just over 210 and growing, as they continue add Embraer Brasilia (2 more by year end) and Bandeirante (1 more this year) aircraft. This diversity gives them flexibility to meet our customers’ ever-changing needs.
AMERIFLIGHT’S AIRCRAFT TYPES
• Cessna C208 Caravan
• Piper PA 31 Chieftain
• Embraer EMB-110 Bandeirante
• Beechcraft 99
• Fairchild SA227 Metroliner
• Beechcraft 1900
• Embraer EMB-120 Brasilia
THE SMART CHOICE
The Ameriflight Recruiting Department searches for talented pilots and mechanics. Due to industry demands Ameriflight and Wiggins are seeing high turnover rates, just like all other part 135 and 121 regional carriers. This has led to them hiring 180 pilots this year. They continue to recruit for 2015 and anticipate hiring an additional 20 Pilots. In 2016 they are projecting to hire 240 pilots due to attrition and growth.
When it comes to recruiting and retention Ameriflight has been very active in developing a career path for our pilots. We recognize that a number of pilots who come to Ameriflight will eventually move on as they progress in their careers. Ameriflight believes that it must create a great place to work for our pilots all while helping them advance in their careers. One way to help them with their long term goals is to speed up the time it takes to go from being a student pilot to flying for a major airline. The common path that many pilots choose is flight instructing or buying blocks of time and eventually getting hired at a 121 regional, eventually making Captain and then if all goes well getting hired at a major. Ameriflight has created an alternative to that long difficult process.
Is there really a way to speed up the process of qualifying for a U.S. airline job without having to buy flying time to reach the 1,500 flight hour hiring threshold? Is there any way to expedite the appearance of big-jet airline captain’s stripes on your sleeve? One way is via a unique partnership between Ameriflight LLC, the largest Part 135 cargo carrier in the U.S., and Allegiant Air, the country’s fastest-growing Part 121 carrier.
Ameriflight offers a unique step up the aviation career ladder from typical entry level flight instructing, traffic watch, banner towing and similar jobs. With a nearly 50-year operating history, exceptionally thorough training, high flight standards, and an operation that spans the conterminous U.S., Alaska, Canada, Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and South America, Ameriflight offers a wide variety of domiciles and incredibly rich flight experience.

Over 85% of Ameriflight and Wiggins fleet is turbine powered, and the majority of pilots hired are hired directly into the left seat as a Captain. Since we operate under part 135 of the regulations they are able to hire Captains at 1,200 hours total time. At 1,200 hours our pilots can start building multi-engine turbine PIC time and operate in a time-critical scheduled operation. Our pilots experience all types of weather from New England winters to hurricane avoidance in the south and east to high-density altitude flying in the west and low minimum IFR operations in a wide variety of locales. All while taking command of cargo load planning and real fuel requirements. This with real airline operating procedures. To go along with this we offer a sequence bid system to determine flight assignments, rapid advancement through aircraft types, including type rating training, generous pay and a good benefits package.
Starting wages at Ameriflight is $44,000 a year and advances quickly to $90,000 a year. This is real airline flying and real world flying experience. Airline training captains have often been heard to comment that they love to train Ameriflight pilots, because our pilots know how to fly on instruments and operate in the air traffic control system. Three years of flying with us typically meets the flight hour requirements for regional and major airlines, and provides a breadth of experience available in few other places for pilots at this level in their careers.

Pre Interview:
Craig: How do you select applicants to be brought in for an interview?Brian: We look at the candidate’s online application and other documents they may have sent, and determine if the candidate fits our profile and has potential to be a successful employee in a single-pilot IFR environment. We look for a number of factors to increase the probability that they are successful in the training process and on the line, flying the customers’ cargo.
C: What can an applicant do to increase their chances of being called for an interview?B: If a candidate can show us that they are instrument proficient, and have meaningful flight time in the past year, they are typically given the opportunity to interview.
C: How critical is it to attend a job fair to get an interview? B: Not very. We launched a new website last year and a brand new Applicant Tracking System last month. They are proving to be successful at capturing candidates that meet our qualifications. However, it is helpful to attend job fairs where we can meet the pilot in person, and gauge who they really are.
C: What is the best way to prepare for an interview with your company?B: Brush up on basic IFR procedures, and ensure you are comfortable in the IFR environment. The number one hurdle candidates must overcome in training these days is instrument proficiency.
Interview:
C: Do you recommend that applicants get to your headquarters city the day before and get a hotel room for the night?B: We typically conduct interviews over the telephone.
C: What kind of questions can an applicant expect to be asked?B: They will be asked basic IFR procedure questions and recency of experience will be explored. They will be asked about flight times and employment history as well. We will ask the candidate about their career goals, aspirations in aviation, accomplishments, and what they know about Ameriflight and the job itself.
C: Can you give me some examples of the TMAAT questions that you like to ask?B: We will ask the candidate about a time they experienced adversity in the workplace.
C: If the TMAAT question being asked does not apply to that applicant can that question be skipped?B: Yes.
C: What are some of the biggest mistakes that applicants make during the interview process? B: One of the biggest mistakes pilots make during the interview is showing up unprepared or without current documents required for employment as a pilot.
Written test:
C: Is there a written or computer test? B: No.
Simulator Evaluation:
C: Do you have a simulator ride? B: A simulator ride is conducted by a member of the training department or an Assistant Chief Pilot if the candidate is lacking sufficient currency. With our operation being nationwide, we are typically able to schedule a simulator evaluation close to the candidate.
C: What type of aircraft is used for the simulator evaluation?B: Depending on location of simulator evaluation, the simulator is typically a light-twin aircraft.
C: What types of scenarios should you expect in the simulator evaluation?B: Basic “/A” IFR navigation, some emergencies, weight and balance calculations, holding procedures, instrument approaches, and basic flight planning.
C: What are you looking for in the simulator evaluation?B: A pilot who is confident and proficient in the IFR system, and one who can calmly evaluate abnormal situations and take appropriate action.
C: What are the biggest mistakes applicants make?B: Lack of instrument scan. Hurried mistakes.
Interview with Brian Lander, Chief Pilot
Post Interview:
C: Do you tell applicants they are hired in person that day? B: Yes. We make every attempt to hire pilots same day.
C: If not, how long do applicants have to wait to know if they are hired?B: Wait times longer than a few days are abnormal.

were depleted because they had opted out of both the company provided long term disability insurance and the union provided optional coverage. This would have saved the pilot a nominal sum of money every month, which was more than offset by medical expenses and lack of income during the treatment period. Luckily, the pilot’s treatments were successful, and they were eventually able to return to work. However, in this pilot’s case, it should be noted that under these circumstances, the company sponsored LTD insurance would have paid the pilot 55% of their gross annual income indefinitely until they were able to return to flying status as a crew member. That means that if they had not been able to return to active flying status, the insurance would have continued to pay. In the case of the union insurance, the pilot may have had an option to collect another 50-100% of their income for a period of up to 2 years from the date of disability, and had they opted for loss of license coverage, they would have received a lump sum payment in the event they were not able to return to work as an aircrew member.
It should be a primary consideration for any pilot to consider the intangible portions of a compensation package as important, especially when they might have vast effects on the future quality of life of the pilot in those circumstances that aren’t planned or expected. As a minimum, it is a good protection in the event a medical issue is encountered and the pilot can’t return to work for a period of time.
Contract Talks
Disability Insurance Written by: Scott Stahl
Disability insurance is an item that doesn’t cross the minds of most pilots, but can be a significant portion of a potential compensation package. The number of companies that even
offer such insurance is decreasing by the year, although it is often a service offered by many unions, such as ALPA.
The reason disability coverage can be critical for a pilot is related to the necessity to maintain FAA medical standards. Aside from natural health issues, any accident or injury could render an FAA medical either denied, revoked, or under review. It is well known that pilots are generally expected to maintain much stricter health standards than people doing normal jobs, and unfortunately, as a pilot ages the probabilities of having a medical issue start to increase exponentially with age. In cases where unforeseen health issues require a revocation or review of the FAA medical, disability insurance could be the critical link that prevents a pilot from losing everything until they can either return to flying, or find another source of income.
Disability insurance can come in many forms, but at its basic core, it is coverage in the event of an injury or issue that may prevent the pilot from performing job duties. Some forms of disability insurance may only provide coverage in the event of permanent incapacitation while others may be geared specifically toward pilot duties. Some coverage may be 100% for a defined period of time, and some may be a set percentage for an indefinite period of time. In cases such as union coverage, their coverage will usually be in addition to company coverage, which provides another layer of protection for the pilot.
In some cases, the union may offer both Loss of License insurance, and disability insurance. Loss of license insurance would kick in anytime there is an event that causes the pilot to actually lose a license and may pay either a lump sum payment, or monthly coverage for a set period of time. That is different than disability, which may not result in the loss of an actual license, but may prevent the pilot from performing job related duties. Again, this can result in a lump sum payout, or a set amount for a number of months. The coverage’s and payouts will vary by company and union.
As a sample case, that actually happened, a young healthy pilot assumed coverage was not needed due to age and financial considerations. Approximately a year after opting out of coverage, the pilot was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. Through the ensuing grounding and medical treatments, the pilot did not receive any compensation once the sick hours and vacation time
