The way I looked at it, I do the AMF thing for a while. They put me into a 99 with 1500TT and 74 hours of multi when I applied. (if that tells you anything about the shambles feeder cargo is currently in) In a year and a half, I'll have over 1000 multi TPIC which qualifies me for just about any King Air charter gig out there. Also, there are overseas jobs available as I've had a clearance before. I firmly agree that going AMF-Delta/AA/SWA is a bit of a stretch, but it does open the door to a bunch of other non-121 jobs which can be fine careers in their own way. It's great to have options, and some of those other jobs you get after AMF could lead to a major. I've heard of netjets guys getting in at legacies. Bottom line is I didn't want to end up as a furloughed FO with no TPIC time. Chances are I would be right back to instructing.

For what it is (Turbine and ME time builder) it's a fine gig. It's not a long term job. Yea, aspects of it suck. Anyone that would have you believe otherwise is full of it. I'm sure glad I'm doing it though because it's making me a much better pilot.
