I find that all regional airlines seem to be alike. At my present airline, we had one or two get disciplinary action over medical conditions they were unaware of.
Look at Mesa, they fired a pilot who was later diagnosed with a medically disqualifying sleep disorder. Regional airlines are no garden of Eden anywhere you go. Like stated before, it's best to go in, stay under the radar. Get your time and get out.
Fast upgrade? There has to be a reason if it isn't growth. And usually it's high turnover. As for signing bonuses, paying for commuter hotels and huge incentives for picking up open time means they're getting desperate for pilots to staff those planes.
Wherever one wants to apply and go to work, just make an informed decision.
