I like the idea of flying small turbo props for a while to gain experience but if I'm not going to be able to get a decent job after that flying bigger aircraft then what's the point? So I guess my question is would it be a good idea for my first job to be a part 135 carrier such as ameriflight or should I just go with the typical Regional Airlines? Thank you
If your goal is a major, your best bet after Ameriflight would be something like Allegiant or Atlas. There is an agreement with Allegiant which you are elligable for after 3 years of AMF and a few other requirements (ie training captain).
I'm sure Jetlife will be along any moment to persuade you to avoid AMF altogether.
