It also pays well.
I know a guy who described AMF and their career progression pretty much spot on: "Half the recruiters have no idea who they are, and half know they are single pilot cargo that have no relevance to airline flying". I think that's pretty well said.
All flying has relevance to airline flying. There are things you can learn and pick up and refine from any type of flying applicable to any other type of flying; then there are specifics only available to a certain type of flying.
