Your total time is great, but only 60 hours multi is too low for a 120 PIC. It might even be a bit low for the 1900. I would think the most likely path would be to start in the BE99, get a couple hundred hours multi time (4-6 months) then bid to the 1900. After 6 months to a year there (maybe sooner, depending on need and your performance) you would be in a position to bid into the 120.

People are complaining the training is too intense? Single pilot 135 in a turbine with no autopilot is the most difficult flying you'll ever do. It should be intense! As a 121 captain, my job is way easier than when I flew 135 (not ameriflight, but same type of flying).

All training programs are intense, but AMF used to have a very small training window. If you didn’t fit within that window, you were booted. If anything, the training at AMF needs to be longer than a 121 initial, which it isn’t, even today it isn’t.

I've known metro trainees that have done indoc (1 week), aircraft ground (one week), Sims (4 - 6 sims), 3 weeks of online training and then couldn't pass a check ride. And one particular was a pilot who (at least according to his log book) had over 10,000 hours.

How long do you think it should be?

Here's the typical break down:
Pilot fills out our quick application (asks for basic info and times).
If you meet our mins, a recruiter will send you the longer application (goes in depth - like your work history, etc).
Once you fill that out, the recruiter will be alerted and will review it and call you. They'll go over your times, discuss your desires (where you want to be located, what aircraft, when you'll be available for training, etc.), and ask you some general HR questions. If you are good to go from there, they'll send you a link to a video interview called RIVs where you'll answer six flying-related questions. They'll be alerted when you submit it and will review your answers.
They will then give you a call and either offer you a position, ask you a few more questions, or tell you what they need from you.
The whole process can take as little as one day depending on how busy you are.
Hope that helps! Feel free to ask any other questions you have!
