From what I can decipher online, looks like Gulfstream 2.0. I think some of the planes are even the same ones Cooper used to use to follow full 1900s out to the Bahamas with bags back in the day.

Everything you state is accurate as near as I can tell, and yes "friendly" was the call sign for Gulfstream Air Charters back in the day out of FLL.

How much do they pay these days and how many hours of flying?

If they still do any Caribbean flying out of S. Florida, it may be worth a shot....when I was there in 2012 for 6 months, pay was $50/hr with a 50hr guarantee and my worst month I made $3000, best was $5500, and racked up 600 hours in those six months. Wasn't an easy place but that flight time and money sure helped!

Last I heard was that the LNS flying was supposed to be done at the end of October, they get an extension on the EAS money? as LNS was no longer on the list of airports that qualifies for EAS

They were flying EAS route between VCT and IAH. They are being replaced by CFM on Nov 1.

Captain pay on that route started at $50k a year.

I googled this airline and this came up as the first link:
SunAir Express Virtual Airlines - The World's First Virtual Airlines!
I was kind of confused at first. This takes aviation nerds to a whole new level lol!

Rumor has it that they are using the "E" gates at PIT? When was the last time those gates were used for anything. It's been awhile since I have flown into PIT.

E gates? E for e-maginary? Those gates were torn down and turned into employee parking years ago.
