I'll try and answer some of your other questions.

We get paid for what amount to a 40 hour week. That's the minimum. You can fly more and will get paid extra for that. It depends on what your assigment will be. Some runs flys A LOT and others don't. I would recommend to plan your life around the 40 hrs. Things change fast.

QL, is always hard question to answer. People like different things. Besides it' possible to be asssigned something you absolutely hate. I have been there, but you work the system and improve your situation.

What I find people is having the hardest time with is having a "normal" life. I personally think it a little like "the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence", but working night is harder than days. You conduct your professional life at night and find yourself constantly making compromises with the rest of your life because of it. Now I'm not complaining, I have no regrets, but you have to realize this and manage it.

AirNet has no new hire base, if anything you might be held at LCK while you are being assigned a base. This should not be much of a problem since turn over rates are pretty high right now and we need pilots.

Everybody get's trained on the baron out initial training. Then you will get an assignment and that will determine what other aircraft you will get.
