The main thing that helped him out was, he was willing to and did move where ever there was an opening for a bigger aircraft, such as an out station in podunk Oregon or Texas.
Talking to some SWA pilots while jumpseating or traveling for company business quite a few have flown for Ameriflight at some point in their careers. I have only heard of a handful of pilots going directly from AMF to SWA, but doesn't mean that it can't happen. Quite a few have gone to the regionals, LLCs, or fractionals before going to SWA. AMF definitely allows you the opportunity to get the time you need to be able to apply pretty much anywhere.
