That is a different argument. The point is that AMF does not have flow through agreements.
The point in which you bring up is one I agree with, and is one that has been brought up by the legacies that still have flow, which to my knowledge is only American. A street hire at American right now has several thousand hours of jet PIC, a degree, a multitude of other qualifications, and they are sitting next to a person who didn't interview, may or may not have a degree, and is probably not as equally qualified.
