It was. It's too good to be true for an entry level position, and they were seeking experienced aviators, preferably with charter and airline backgrounds. Their target recruit had several years of airline experience, for the wage most likely disaffected regional F/O's who wanted to be home more, wanted the increase in wage, and didn't want to wait any longer for an upgrade.

Such locations are not the norm, of course, but there are such facilities out there. They prefer substantial instruction given, and they're fairly selective about who they hire. I spent about four hours with them a few days ago, got a tour of the facilities, met some of their key people. A very professional operation, I thought. I've seen similar operations doing the same work, and I've seen a lot worse. Their people seemed quite happy; they had employees in the 12-20 year range working for them, one just retiring, who were very happy, and the gentleman with whom I spent the most time talking thought it quite ideal for his family situation. He plans to stay there for the long term, and I can't blame him one bit.
