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?
Recruitment is slightly down and yet at the same time we have a class of 22 going through Basic Indoc this week. AMF still has the ability for someone to get turbine PIC time, maybe one or two type ratings, and totally bypass the regionals and apply directly to a major or national carrier or go the corporate/charter route and make more money than they would at a regional.
