No doubt! Can't argue with anything you said. I just remember guys that were home from 8pm to 430am 5 days a week trying to talk smack about regional guys and how they weren't home every night.

I worked there years ago now. Seems like a lifetime ago.

I will give you a piece of advice, dress for the job you want, not the job you have (or in your case, the job you're interviewing for). Nobody will talk smack about you wearing a suit, and when you interview at your dream job, that's exactly what you're going to wear, so wear the suit. This goes for when you work there as well. Dress like you want to work at United. Guys at AMF that walk around with dirty uniforms and looking like homeless people always made me confused.

Maybe it is the ex-military in me, but I dry cleaned my uniforms when I was at AMF.

Good luck at the open house!!

Good lookin' out C.O! [emoji52]

Yup I hear that! Some routes sucked. MIA was good to me. I for one am happy I went to AMF and made the best of my time. Kinda bummed I can't call myself a freight dawg anymore ...

Thanks for the advice Jetlife, can't go wrong with that.

Said nobody ever.

If you're a CFI, sitting around 1200 hours, with a job offer from AMF...just build 300 more hours and go to a regional.
I really enjoyed my time at AMF (mainly because of the good people and fun base) but that's all it was, flight time. My final goal is 121/corporate, and I will get there quicker coming from a regional. I left at my first regional offer and have no regrets. AMF management will tell you otherwise..."get 1000 TPIC here...it will make you a better pilot...etc" - but they don't tell you:
1) Majors will hire you with 4000 121 SIC and no PIC...the same can't be said for guys with 1000 135 TPIC and no 121 experience. They are destined to go to the regionals to build that time. So since you will be going to a regional anyways to get the 121 experience, it makes sense to go earlier and get better seniority.
2) Logging lots of single pilot IFR doesn't make you a better aviator, it makes you a better single-pilot IFR operator. Flying a multi-crew jet with lots of glass and automation isn't easier, it's different, and requires a different skill set.

even in a joking manner, on the Internet saying stuff like that can make very real police officers knock on your door.
Welcome to the Internet.
