Ameriflight doesn't claim to have a magic key to the hiring door at SWA -- and particularly after flying a BE-99 for only a year -- although a number of SWA pilots are former Ameriflighters. Ditto numerous other major and regional airlines in the US and internationally. Some pilots have gone to corporate operators. Some have gotten out of the aviation business. We also have a surprising number of "lifers" -- pilots who have been with us for 20 or 25 years. A few have retired out of the company.
At the bottom line, it depends on what you want and how willing you are to pursue your goal.
