Nothing wrong with AMF right now, but if you stay there you will not be be as competitive for as wide a range of opportunities vis a vis the majors.
But regarding feeder cargo... if you have a family, consider carefully. That job is relatively dangerous, fatalities are common so I stuck it out with flight instructing for that reason.
Thanks rickair. You and sourdough both make a good point about narrowing my field to just cargo, especially early on in this journey. I never really looked at it from that side of things.
I instruct out of a little mom and pop Airport and have been averaging around 60 hours a month.
