Also to add...
when you consider that many b-99 Captains START at much lower time than other companies, thanks to the ACP program, the fact the AMF pays less makes sense. Fly a be-99 as an entry-level turboprop job, move up, make more $$$. Pretty simple.
Everything is about time or money...
Instruct for another year, making ¢, maybe or sitting most of a winter or come to AMF? The $$ isn't much if you consider you could get your hours in and be in a typed plane BEFORE you could start at one of the other "higher paid" companies.

Schedule is subjective at best, some love it, some hate it.
Out-based runs (IMHO)(home all day, away at night) might have the best deal, but in based or hub runs where you are away from home during the day does give the pilot more flexibility when asking for days off, and a bigger town or city to live in.
The grass will always be Greener on the other side of the fence for some.....just remember, it might Greener cause it's planted over the septic tank....
Honestly, I talk to some of the guys at the "other" companies mentioned and they are asking about benefits, jumpseats, CASS , KNOWN CREWMEMBER, 401k matches, and partner programs like UPS.....
People have different priorities.....based on yours, you pick the company. There is more to QOL than just $$$.
