This is not news. I can't imagine why someone would say it is. Matt Kuhn has been talking about them for years. He is an IMO for them.
AHL still has one of the best POS procedures in the business. Final approval w a 5 min call is tough to beat. Unfortunately they just aren't very useful. They don't want smoker or graded business so that really limits things. Great people at their home office; one of the companies that we would love to do more business with but that's tough to do when the product just isn't there.
I love their concept of an incentive trip also. I took my wife and kids on it and we had a great time.
