AMF flow or bridge to UPS?

This doesn't benefit both sides as far as candidate. Look at the average new hire candidate for UPS versus the quals an AMF flow would have. Not saying they aren't excellent pilots who would do just fine, but literally one of the last companies to even be remotely hurting for pilots is UPS. Now it does benefit UPS to have pilots fly their feeder flights and AMF is one of, if not the largest feeder of UPS. Don't think for a second that the flow will be that lucrative. So far all the AMF agreements are preferential hiring, not flow throughs, so creating a UPS flow would alienate all the previous agreements made, and if they flow all of the AMF pilots up with nobody to replace them, you've got a problem...

In a way, it's just like regional feed. You do it or we'll look to someone else.

Honesty I could care less about being hired into UPS. What I think is important is for UPS and the feeders to work out something to improve the QOL for feeder pilots. Mostly it's the feeder airline's responsibly here but its also UPS also. They won't have anyone to fly their freight if feeders can't properly staff them. It's the first step to attract and retain pilots for a while. For example no one wants to live in a small dump of a town 200 miles from any large civilization. I know a few places feeders fly to that have sat empty for 3 yrs plus.... from what I've heard it's pretty much about the schedules though.

To add, AMF doesn't have a true flow to any other company, only preferential hiring agreements.
