No. Will you get good training, learn how to keep yourself alive in an airplane while dealing with schedules, loads, and weather? Yes. Will you get to smell like jet fuel instead fo AvGas when you go home (a little joke) -- will you get valuable turbine PIC time? Yes; AMF has been an important stepping stone in the careers of thousands of pilots during the 40+ years the company has been in business. Is it dangerous and horrible? The company just passed 500,000 in-company flight hours without a fatal accident; judge for yourself. Is it the perfect place to work? No. But -- look at the other pilot forums and you'll find plenty of disgruntled pilots posting their gripes while flying for the big airlines too. Ameriflight is a GREAT place to build experience. Take it for what it's worth.
