I agree that there is good experience to be had, but, some future companies will like it, others won't. The big handicap is no CRM! Yea, you can fly the s**t out of the airplane, but do you know how to conduct yourself in a multi-crew environment! Some of you will say "sure!", but try to convince the interviewer your CRM skills are as good as anyone's when your operating in a Single-Pilot-IFR environment.
Also AMF doesn't have as great a reputation as some of you may think. During some of my interviews I found that out the hard way. Also, AMF management isn't the greatest. Their attitude about pilots is this; You are pieces of meat to be used and abused and spit out at will. Pilots are a dime a dozen! Unfortunately anyone flying for AMF will only discover this when it is too late!.
My advice! If you're going to do it, get in, get your experience and start looking for another job immediately and get out before something happens. Trust me, in that environment, it's not a matter of "IF" but "when" something happens!
Good luck!! |

And some AMF'ers have also gone on to the "big leagues" also. I wouldn't necessarily say that their bowing to our "freight greatness"( I wouldn't expect then to), but it does happen.
