Ok I finally have 1000 turbine PIC and I'm ready to move on to a better QOL. I have interviews at Expressjet and AWAC and I'm still waiting for skywest. so let's just assume I'm going to get to pick from one of the 3. So..here goes.

Can someone quantitate Take home pay year 1 and 2 for all three airlines?
How are the Health Benefits for a family of three? (currently pay 644$/month)
What's reserve like? Can you pick up a bunch of flying to augment year one pay? Or is this frowned on? Is there long call?
What are the Jr. Bases? Are there cheap crash pad options?
What's your guess for the time spent at the bottom of the list? How long before I could hold a line?
Sadly I don't even know very much about trip/duty rigs...AWAC has 2:1 (I think) which means 2 hours on duty gets you 1 hour pay right? What's a trip rig (4:1)?
Does Expressjet/skywest have them?
Any chance at upgrade any time?

I've heard that awac's contract with US is up in 2015(?) what will happen after that? Does everyone think they will renew?
What's the validity of the rumored Den base for Expressjet?

I know some of these are not black and white issues...And my presentation is probably a little disorganized but any information will help.
Thanks in advance!
