There are great jobs out there, especially if you don't want to go to the regionals. Go make a buttload more money, fly a jet, have more time off, better QOL and be in a great position to apply to the majors. So to see somebody stay at AMF now, more than likely they have 3 DUIs and can't get a job anywhere else, or they are oddballs. I have a few friends there still and while they are my friends, they are weird as hell, and in turn they are perfectly suited to fly around solo, and go sit in a lonely crew apartment.
