I was taking almost that much home every two weeks flying a Beech 99 for Freight Runners. It had its draw backs, but with the very demanding schedule they required doing UPS feed I would have not done it for a penny less than what I did it for, and considered myself underpaid on most days. With that said, everyone's situation is different, and I don't know all the details about schedule and quality of life @ Ameriflight, but I do know that Freight Runners pretty much owned you for that pay check, but you could achieve more in a year in a down economy for your resume than you could in 3 years in a up economy at a regional, I'm sure the same is true at Ameriflight.
