It doesn't matter if it is ridiculous or not. That is not our call. It is the truth that legacy airlines no longer put much value in the type of flying that AMF does anymore. I am sure that I will get flamed for saying that, but look at what those companies are looking for in terms of pilots, and AMF doesn't measure up. They want EFIS, jet, passenger carrying experience. AMF's 30 year old turboprops with round gauges are just not what they want.

There are some REALLY GOOD pilots at AMF. There are guys and gals that would make really good airline captains some day. Hand flying old airplanes that are minimally equipped, in terrible weather, with a handful of things MEL'd is a great experience.

Feel free to PM me the names of the 5 or 6 people that went directly from AMF to a major airline in the last 5 years. I would love to see that. (BTW...Allegiant isn't a major - it is barely an airline. It is a glorified travel agency.)
