With the increase in regional hiring, and them basically snatching up all the would-be AMF'ers, how is that affecting pilot recruitment at AMF? When I first started teaching, my fellow CFI's were working their butts off just to reach 135 mins to go AMF, AIRPAC, or AeroFlight. Now, somebody typically teacher for a year, doesn't get their CFII or MEI, flies the twin in their off time, and is off to a regional carrier. That must sting AMF's recruitment a bit.

28k?!?! Can you guys survive on that pay?
