I recently got hired at Skyway, and like the poster before me was saying it's all what you make of it. The appeal to me was that they're near by (used to flight instruct out of the Chicago area) so moving wasn't going to be as big a hassle and the cost of living is cheaper in Wisconsin. Also, their mins aren't as high so you can get in there more easily if you have a reasonable amount of time.

I suppose the tradeoff may be a busy schedule (I hear their captains are flying almost 100hrs a month). And a little uncertainty as to the direction the company is going in. But having talked to several of their pilots they seem to really enjoy working there. And the people I interviewed with were very nice and pleasant. Plus I may be one of the few out there but I really think the 328 is a great aircraft and have always wanted to fly one, so that has some appeal as well.
