Best Slotting for Fly and Afterburner?

Does the flight speed cap raising effect of Afterburner increase with a Tier-4 Nerve Alpha boost (+33% Flight Speed, 2/3 bypassing ED) or with a Tier-4 Agility Alpha boost (+33 Move Speed, 2/3 bypassing ED)?

Yes, but it won't increase past a certain point with any amount of enhancing/power boosting/jump-packing. At level 50, it maxes out at 87.95mph, only a couple mph faster than you can get with 1 generic 50 IO in Fly, one in Swift, and 2 in Afterburner.

Lotg in hover and afterburner, +stealth in fly.
Fly+afterburner is fast enough without using up valuable slots.

In this case, I'm considering a concept build for flight speed; and getting more than is ordinarily practical out of Afterburner is a goal.
Obviously ED's going to affect Afterburner's enhancement from multiple +flight common IOs; my question is whether it is increased by Alpha slot abilities as well -- it wasn't a given to me, since Afterburner's effect does not increase from IO set bonuses for either +Flight Speed or +Movement Speed.

Basically the same for me - but I use stealth in sprint with a fly IO in Fly - Then chain Jump Pack and Steam Jump together for infinite 87.5 MPH.

Are some of these slotting setups taking Fly SOs/IOs in Swift into account? I assume they are, if you're using MIDS, but it would interesting to see what difference 1 Fly SO/IO vs. 2 Fly SO/IOs in Swift would make in terms of speed. Certainly nothing huge, but it might squeeze a few more MPH out of the powers.
