Just an update.... if anyone cares.
I just completed training with Merlin and I couldn't be any happier. No overnights or early shows. Surfing and snorkeling before work everyday and a pilot group that makes you feel at home from day one. The pay is good and the cost of living is low.
I feel like I won the lottery.
If anyone would like any current info on the company don't hesitate to PM me.

Have a great day.
