Default I interested but...

I'm going to bail on engineering to start flying. I'm considering either Express Jet or Colgan (mostly because these are the ony two regionals with a domicile out of houston). I'd prefer colgan for the routes and the short time to left seat. Can anyone answer the questions that I have about Colgan:

1. Do they have any deals with other airlines so that I can commute from Houston to the northeast bases incase I need to commute for a while?
2. What does a typical new guy line schedule look like, and can I fly all my hours together (like 4 on 4 off without 4 years senority)?
3. If I get the 1900 out of the interview, how long would it take to upgrade to the 340 and/or move to Houston (I think they only have the 340 there).
4. What are the medical benefits like (EPO, PPO, etc.. deductibles, 90 or 100% coverage, family member coverage, max out of pocket)?

I've got the email address for someone in HR, but I don't want to bother them unless I have to.
