I would have never thought for a moment that any company wouldn't have respect for AMF pilots. And I do not know of any that do. On the other hand, I have seen other very respectable companies have hired AMF pilots.
Every aviation enterprise, including Ameriflight, has a spectrum of pilots as regards flying skills and proficiency, knowledge, judgement, personality, etc., etc. A major challenge in the hiring department is identifying the cream of the crop in those areas. That said, three years at Ameriflight has turned out some good, well-rounded pilots who successfully moved on to the bigger equipment. Some didn't.
