Depends which regional you go to. I hear SkyWest has never furloughed either.
Also the other problem comes that majors want 121 time these days and are doing away with pic time. so another advantage of going to a regional is you get that experience where as most amf pilots end up at a regional anyway.
AMF single pilot makes you a better pilot, but it's also an added step in getting on with a major (certain majors) since all legacy carriers still prefer 121 time. if your final goal is alligent/spirit then sure, amf isn't delaying you any.
