As long as the pay isn't cutting below other carriers and trying to entice fresh guy 1500 hour guys like CFI's who see a big shiny jet and don't care about the pay or base then it's not so bad. But, knowing this companies history.. If they come up to me and said hey we have these 73's we need staffed. We will pay for your type rating but you'll get crap pay with crap hours, long nights, and the only benefit is you're flying a 73! Yeah, I'll pass on that one.
