OP is somewhat outdated, but what the heck....

I was once in your spot, ATP! I reckon that we all have been at one point!

I did not want to teach Chinese students at 500 hours, and debated whether I should go to Lakes. I held out for a while, got up to 700 hours and then a 135 Alaskan company invited me to fly CASAs for 30k; I logged about 50 - 80 hours per month.

Point being, do not give in and rush to head off to Great Mistakes. There are other jobs that can give you what you need, just search as hard as you can before you keep alive that crude smear of a company and prolong a status quo of low pilot wages.

Just plow forth and do not help an air carrier which does not fairly compensate its pilots! You will look back at this time and laugh at yourself for even considering it!
