Well I don't feel bad for AMF, I just feel for them because there is almost nothing they can do to change their status or the public perception. The Kool-Aid drinkers and spewers will catch a few stray pilots though, that's for sure.
The last guy I personally know finally left AMF a couple of months ago, and he was more than gitty to hit send on his resignation letter.
Hell, just the fact that AMF pilots are able to speak out now shows how the tables have turned. The stuff I saw pilots canned for when I was there created a subservient, fearful pilot group. Everyone walked on eggshells.
