>>1952451Just a note, outside of exceptions like a Metro needs to be at a certain base of Mx, etc, all GPS Metros belong to charter and San Juan. If you're flying a UPS or DHL route for a regularly scheduled non-island flight, you'll usually be /A (VOR/VOR/DME).
So, generally on a scheduled op, you'll show in the 5-6am range, preflight and possibly reposition your aircraft to another ramp. Sit around and wait for cargo. Fly the stuff, usually within a 45-90min range area, and unload the shit. Then you'll go to our day layover motel and sleep all day there. Around 4-6pm, you'll start the evening run and load up and come back to base. Some runs have multiple legs in the am, or the pm.
For the charter op, you'll show at your assigned start time and sit in the ready for for hours. If you don't get assigned, go home, come back tomorrow. If you get assigned you start the plane and either fly empty to pick up the cargo, or your cargo is already at the airport and load up and go. The metro has very long long legs and is quite fast for it's 16k pound MTOW if properly fueled. You'll fly into place with little to no support, single OR two pilot in the middle of the night or day. Real cowboy shit. Last year, one of the charter flights ran into a golf course on final and lost both wings in the fight, pilot error according to the NTSB.
>>1952463Because they get sold as a default to United Aviate and UPS Flightpath people first. The best way to weasel your way into it is to bombard a recruiters dick with your resume and say nice things like "I would just LOVE to work for a GREAT and PROFESSIONAL company like AMFlight!!!" I've met a few dudes who played that game and got a job that way. DO NOT ACCEPT A FO POSITION IN THE METRO, Saab or E120 only.
