There is a rule when dealing with recruiters, the nicer they are the more they intend to destroy your life. Have you done anything to research these airlines? Based upon the evidence you might want to do a little more research. What are the reputations of the airlines, their owners, the chief pilot and DO? What types of lawsuits have been filed by employees? What do their training departments look like? Do they even do their own training or do they have to farm it out to flight safety?

Don't go to an airline that does not have planes on order unless you want to sit in the right seat for a long time. But wait, airline X has no new planes coming but they are hiring into the left seat or only have a 6 month upgrade wait? Be sure to ask the next question, what is happening to the guys above, why are they leaving so fast?

There is no substitute for quality in this industry. You do not want to have a low quality carrier on your resume. When a Skywest pilot walks into a Delta interview he already looks good. When a pilot from a bottom feeder airline walks in he spends the first 15 minutes explaining to the interviewer the unique circumstances of why going to a bottom feeder was such a great decision. Kind of like someone explaining what a great job he did in saving the airplane after he flew into the thunderstorm but cannot really justify flying into the thunderstorm in the first place.
