Serious, you will have your PIC time faster than alot of people. The pay, and no pay for training is a little rough, just stick it out and live cheap. Make it work. At least you will have the satasfaction of flying for YOUR airline. Not United Express, NWA Airline, Continental Express...They aren't at the mercy of majors and contracts in a way. Obviously their branded is doing better than ExpressJets branded

Let me know how it goes.
