Alpine Air Express

Done a first officer programm there last year, flew the BE99 and did a B190 type with them.
Very good outlet, very fair pricing compared to the others. Nice pilots and very nice people there in Montana working for them.
Made 70 up to 130 hours a month.
Unfortunately there was this accident in August last year and they stopped the fo program for non US-citizens after this. That was was because the FAA did not allow non employes onboard the aircraft after, and so they had to put their fo´s on a working contract.
Check it out with the company, might have changed again!
PM me if you need more info!

eaglejet:
is a broker for several airlines,
BE99 they do with Ameriflight. Met some of the fo´s. They do not have to load and unload the plane like in Alpine and wear a fancy uniform, but pay a bit more then the guys with Alpine.
Be aware, that you have to deal with the broker (S.H. from eagle) and not with the Airline if there are problems!
Don´t trust the offer with the 1900!! Eagle wants you to do just a SIC check, not a typeand let you fly as a SIC. As the nature of these flights are cargo and are single crew, you cant log SIC time. PIC under part 61 would you require to have a type, not so on the BE99..
Here again, if there are more questions about this, PM me...
