You can make just as much at a regional as you would at Atlas anyway.
Don't get me wrong Ted, I don't think AMF is a bad place to go. But it's a place you need to go and get your time ASAP and GTFO. It's not a career place, as much as you've convinced yourself it is.
If that was not your intent, then I apologize. Since this ISN'T an Atlas thread, that was the only reason I could think of that you would make such a comment when the question was on whether AMF time would help you get hired there.
I readily admit that AMF is not a career place for most people. And when people come here and fulfill the commitment they made in terms of time promised for the cost of the training we provide to gain the flight time, I am more than happy to help people move on to wherever they want to go. Be it a regional, corporate, air ambulance or larger iron. What I don't care for is people who come here at 1200 hours and leave after just a couple of months because now they are competitive as a first officer someplace.
For me, it has worked well as a career place. I hadn't intended it to be but circumstances at the time worked different than I had planned.
