For those of you working at ameriflight, what are your future career goals and/or companies you hope to enter after ameriflight?
To a legacy carrier? Right now it's zero, flat out no chance. Give it a few years and maybe they will be desperate enough for warm bodies. You won't even see people go from AMF to SWA, AS or JB. I bet you can count on two hands the people that have gone to Spirit and Allegiant and Frontier.
Allegiant/Frontier are your best bets as they have some preferential interview programs. I think all the AMF programs will lock you in for 3 years before you can do anything so keep that in mind. I know people have gone to Allegiant, Frontier, Omni and Atlas from AMF but not in large numbers. Don't pick AMF as a means to look great on a resume, pick it because you want to fly sorta single pilot ops in older airplanes.
Wipe legacy carriers from the lexicon.
